Organizations should constantly modify and refine the mechanism by which they achieve their purposes- no only by scanning the environmental change and uncertainty, but also by choosing the right strategies. As scanning largely perceived environment, the management need to maintain a systemized perspective on their environment in order to make profitable decisions(strategic choice). Accordingly, this article presents a theoretical framework that top managers or managers of food service organizations can use to analyze their environment as an integrated and systemized whole - a model that take into account the interrelationships among domains of environment and strategic choice. Also, the results of this study will be a guideline for further expanded environmental scanning.
