1. Political - Walmart’s offshore expansion has not inspired more American interest in investing
in South Africa, because of the local government’s stringent foreign investment laws.
2. Market - Makro and pick n Pay have become very competitive considering the loyalty cards,
eg, discounts are given on products if volumes are increased
Sourcing - there are also issues with language, communication, and time differences. There are
many African languages spoken throughout Africa
4. Financial - When shipping pipelines are lengthened,
inventory carrying costs become greater, for example, inventory investment, storage and
warehousing costs, material handling, loss and damage, taxes, obsolescence, and lost
opportunity costs. This is being experienced globally due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Currency fluctuations is also a concern Supplier Company - Here, the buyer
should be concerned with the supplier’s current financial stability and future liability. Covid-19 has
caused increased instability in many countries
