The performance environment is part of the wider marketing environment. Other elements include the external environment and the internal marketing environment. The performance environment concerns external organisations that influence the organisation's performance. Typically, this includes the competitors which may be well-known to the organisation and those that are unknown. For example, a new organisation moving into the market or a competitor from another country. As an example, think about how we listen to music and how this has changed over the years. We started using vinyl records, then tape cassettes, and subscriptions to streaming services. We no longer need the physical goods. The idea of music streaming for a music company may have seemed irrelevant in the past. This is why it's essential to consider all forms of competitors. The performance environment includes the distributors and channel partners who control access to raw materials as well as those who indirectly influence the organisation's performance.
