If there is anything that is stead fast and unchanging, it is change itself. Change is inevitable, and those organizations who do not keep up with change will become unstable, with long-term survivability in question.
There are things, events, or situations that occur that affect the way a business operates, either in a positive or negative way. These things, situations, or events that occur that affect a business in either a positive or negative way are called "driving forces." Some refer to this as "environmental factors."
There are two kinds of driving forces; Internal driving forces, and external driving forces. Internal driving forces are those kinds of things, situations, or events that occur inside the business, and are generally under the control of the company. Examples might be as follows
· organization of machinery and equipment,
· technological capacity,
· organizational culture,
· management systems,
· financial management
· employee morale.
External driving forces are those kinds of things, situation, or events that occur outside of the company and are by and large beyond the control of the company. Examples of external driving forces might be, the industry itself, the economy, Demographics, competition, political interference, etc.
Whether they are internal or external driving forces, one thing is certain for both. Change will occur! A company must be cognizant of these changes, flexible, and willing to respond to them in an appropriate way.
External driving forces can bury a business if not appropriately dealt with. The question is, how does a business know what changes are occurring so that they can deal with them in a positive way. OK, that's the next issue.
In order for a business to succeed and gain the competitive edge, the business must know what changes are indeed occurring, and what changes might be coming up in the future. I guess you might call this forecasting. Thus, critical to the business is what we call "informational resources." It is the collection and analyzation of data. Some examples of critical information might include the following:
- Competition (what are they doing?)
- Customer behavior (needs, wants, and desires)
- Industry out look (local, national, global)
- Demographics (the change populations, there density, etc.)
- Economy (are we peaking, or moving negatively)
- Political movements and/or interference
- Social environment
- Technological changes
- General environmental changes
The above are just some issues organizations must be on top of. Well it's never easy, but businesses that are successful include all of the above (and more), to develop the appropriate tactics, strategies, and best practices, to ensure successful out comes.

The use of effective training to challenge leaders and organizations with uncertain conditions is a tenant of which principle of training?
The use of effective training to challenge leaders and organizations with uncertain conditions aligns with the principle of "adaptability" in training. This principle emphasizes the importance of preparing individuals and organizations to navigate and thrive in dynamic and unpredictable environments. By providing training that simulates real-world challenges and encourages innovative thinking, leaders and organizations can develop the skills and resilience needed to respond effectively to uncertainty. Embracing adaptability as a core tenet of training ensures that individuals and organizations are equipped to adapt, evolve, and succeed amidst ever-changing circumstances and market conditions.

What is machine bureaucracy?
Machine BureaucracyThe design of a machine bureaucracy tends to be as follows:highly specialised, routine operating tasks;very formalised procedures in the operating core;a proliferation of rules, regulations, & formalised communication;large-sized units at the operating level;reliance on the functional basis for grouping tasks;relatively centralised power for decision making;an elaborate administrative structure with sharp distinctions between line and staff.Because the machine bureaucracy depends primarily on the standardization of its operating work processes for coordination, the technostructure emerges as the key part of the structureMachine bureaucratic work is found, in environments that are simple and stable. Machine bureaucracy is not common in complex and dynamic environments because the work of complex environments can not be rationalized into simple tasks and the processes of dynamic environments can not be predicted, made repetitive, and standardizedThe machine bureaucracies are typically found in the mature organizations, large enough to have the volume of operating work needed for repetition and standardization, and old enough to have been able to settle on the standards they wish to useThe managers at the strategic apex of these organizations are mainly concerned with the fine-tuning of their bureaucratic machines. Machine bureaucracy type structures are "performance organizations" not "problem solving" ones.
