Ans the researcher use two method, one is scientific significance of environmental impact and the second one is Public perception. For threat response analysis four theoretical positions are presented in model .where scientific and public concern about environmental impact is high. Then the company is forced into reactive position .The response of the company in this position is likely to be increasingly constrained by legalization and public pressure. This response is based on the specific problem they face .On the other hand, scientific significance is high and the public perception is low …in this situation it’s become possible for company to adopt the discretionary attitude .The possibility is that scientific concern are helpful to move the company position to management driven sector of model .where the scientific is low and public perception is high it leads to reactive position and it is communication driven.

However, this threat analysis help in determine how companies might react or move towards more pro- active stance 4; Describe the compliance analysis with reference to strategic management as highlighted in this paper? Answer: In compliance analysis, there are three set of standards of compliance with legal requirements and social pressures, recognizing that a legal consent to operate may represent a different standard to the need to gain an informal license to operate from the community. A noncompliance strategy emerges in the face of competing environmental and other objectives. It can also occur through managerial default .A company that adopts a compliance strategy is not necessarily anticipating the changing environmental agenda nor does it take control of its environmental priorities. Compliance is a 'legislation push' strategy, with management responding reactively to accommodate the demands that regulation places on management systems and organizational structures. Compliance plus is driven by environmental champions within companies, normally at senior level. It is, therefore, a management pull' strategy, with senior management accepting the need for the company to be committed to change organizational structures and management systems, in support of a corporate environmental ethic. Compliance plus is the recognition that organizational change, to support a corporate environmental ethic, needs to develop in concert with the acceptance/ development of that ethic among all employees of their company Compliance and compliance plus involves the move from a reactive to a pro-active, strategically led management style. This indicates a willingness on the part of senior corporate managers to use management systems which can be verified, to challenge existing management conventions and to encourage organizational change.
