DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS AFFECTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR BOTH THE ORGANIZATIONS

POLITICAL/LEGAL

Legal and political environment type differs depending on the country in which it operates. Some countries allow a greater degree of freedom than others.

A government of a country can influence business activity in the following ways:

Ð'* Direct state intervention through government agencies that control business activity.

Ð'* Economic and fiscal policy to control inflation rates and economic growth.
