Background of the Study
Environmental scanning refers to the systematic analysis of external and internal factors that affect an organization’s operations. In dynamic industries such as real estate, businesses must adapt to changing economic, political, and social conditions to remain competitive (Musa & Adamu, 2023).
In Yobe State, the real estate sector has experienced significant growth, driven by increasing demand for housing and commercial properties. However, firms face challenges such as regulatory changes, economic fluctuations, and environmental risks. Environmental scanning helps firms anticipate changes and make informed decisions to adapt effectively (Yusuf & Hassan, 2024).
This study investigates the effect of environmental scanning on business adaptability among real estate firms in Yobe State.
Statement of the Problem
Real estate firms in Yobe State operate in a volatile environment where external factors such as government policies, market trends, and environmental hazards significantly impact their operations. Many firms lack robust environmental scanning practices, leading to poor adaptability and reduced competitiveness.
Research by Bello and Ibrahim (2023) indicates that businesses with effective environmental scanning frameworks are better equipped to respond to external changes. However, there is limited research on how environmental scanning influences business adaptability in the real estate sector in Yobe State. This study addresses this gap by exploring the relationship between environmental scanning and adaptability.
