companies that requires analysis of their week points in the new
environment?
As per the view of Bag and Pretorius (2020) the sudden change in the
external and internal factors that affects the all over the world create condition
for the companies in order to change their stable development. The external
and internal factors that affect the economy are natural resources, human
capital, infrastructure, labour, technology, population and law.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Impact of Covid-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine and world
economy recession on the development of business of
Starbucks revealing their brand weak points?
According to the view of Choudhary and Jain (2022)
Covid-19, war in Ukraine and world economy recession create
negative impact on the development of Starbucks business.
Maintaining supply chain in Covid-19 period is the main problem
for the company. It relies mainly on digital technology for
managing its supply chain. It uses an automated information
system that allows company to monitor its demand, capacity,
inventory as well as scheduling in real time.

LITERATURE
REVIEWThe challenges faced by Starbucks while running
their business in this dynamically changing
environment
In the opinion of Dominko (2022) there are
many challenges which had been faced by the Starbucks
while running their business in dynamically changing
environment. Staffing shortage is the main issues that cut
down store hours. In the current dynamic business
environment, staffing shortage has been happen in all over
the restaurant industry. Due to shortage of staff, company
did not deliver its products on time. Another issues that
the company faced in dynamic changing business
environment was the shortage of ingredients.
