Marketing Internal and External Environment

Suppose you are the owner of a successful bakery. Your bakery's success depends on certain factors such as the quality of your products, their pricing, the location of the bakery, and the demand. Similarly, the success and failure of a company's marketing program is influenced by both internal factors, which arise within the company, and external factors, which arise outside the company.
