    thanks for the video. How is External factors different from Out of control factors ?

  • @PMDiegoGranados

    @PMDiegoGranados

    2 жыл бұрын

    Hi! An external factor is something you have certain degree of control. For example if a competitor announces something, you could quickly respond to it - is something “common”, you expect your competitors to announce things But an out of control like a natural disaster or a change in politics is completely unexpected and your company may or may not have a plan to act on it. These tend to be at a large scale and have a big impact Does this help?
