Business Management practice: Use external environment evidence in business decisions

Business Management SL stimulus: Dunedin outdoor-gear retailer Alpine Loop is deciding closing the physical store and focusing online while tourism demand is recovering unevenly across the region. The case also says foot traffic is falling while online sales are rising. Use the external scan diagram before choosing a response. Select the external factor, external evidence, external response, and external limit. Then answer this in your own words: how would this route improve the business decision answer for this exact case? AI will analyse your reasoning, stimulus evidence, toolkit or calculation use, recommendation quality, and expression.

Worked practice: build the response

Work through the business response: concept focus, supporting evidence, the decision, then a reasoned judgement.
