Abstract

This research investigates the external factors influencing strategic management within NGOs operating in crisis-affected areas, using a case study from Northeast Syria by employing the PESTEL analysis framework, the study explores the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal dimensions shaping strategic decision-making process of the studied organization. Through a combination of qualitative sources and semi-structured interviews with key members of the organization, the study provides insights into external factors affecting strategic management and also explains how the organization navigates in complex external environments to achieve its mission. Findings show the importance of adaptive strategies aligned with local and global political landscapes, diversified funding mechanisms to mitigate economic uncertainties, engagement with diaspora communities to address social challenges, leveraging accessible technologies amidst infrastructure limitations, commitment to environmental sustainability, and adherence to local and international legal frameworks. The research shows the necessity for NGOs to adopt multifaceted strategies integrating local engagements, diversified funding sources, and risk management practices to effectively operate in crisis-affected contexts and contribute to long-term stability and development.
