Answer to Question #132218 in Management for Matsidiso

Question

Why should MTN scan the global business environment as well as the macro environments of Angola and Ethiopia prior to their decision to expand operations to these two countries?

Answer 1

The primary reason why MTN needs to scan the global business environment, as well as the macro environment of Angola and Ethiopia, is to enable the business to identify the opportunities and threats that can affect the business for better strategic business decisions. Again, the scanning process will allow for the collection of vital information about the countries' environment and use the information to forecast the impacts that might arise in case any changes take place.
