Due to the fact that constantly changing conditions of today¡¯s business environment and its high level of competition, the institutions regarded as open systems are required to create sustainable competitive advantages to be able to achieve future objectives. It is important to strategically manage the pressures of internal and external change of institutions that seek to maintain their existence and achieve their corporate objectives.
