Abstract
This article traces the processes of scanning and appraisal of the external environment as practised by large corporations—both domestic and multinational—operating in India. The sample consists of 18 domestic and 6 multinational companies. Data were gathered from senior managers involved in corporate planning of these companies. As a prelude to presentation of results of research, relevant literature survey is given highlighting similar research done elsewhere. Thereafter, the dynamics of environmental scanning processes are described in adequate detail. The concluding section describes the host of constraints the corporate environmental scanner faces and the ways of overcoming them.
