In the context of environmental scanning,just as there is a reaction for every action,for every trend there is a countertrend,and countertrends seem to develop in tandem with the trends.Discuss this view,providing an example.

One challenge in environmental scanning is that few trends exist in isolation.Take the issue of the difficulty of finding employees where labour shortages exist.There is a growing concern that companies will be unable to find enough tradespeople.If this problem is addressed in isolation,two solutions might be to (1)increase the number of spaces for apprentices in trade programs and/or (2)recruit tradespeople from other countries.But other trends may influence the ability to fill these jobs.The use of robots may change the need for skilled workers.The abolishment of mandatory retirement may encourage more tradespeople to continue working.
