8. POLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICAL STABILITY
Lack of political stability in a country effects
business operations. This is especially true for the
companies which operate internationally.
For example, an forceful takeover could
overthrow a government. This could lead to riots,
raiding and general disorder in the environment.
These disrupt business operations. Sri Lanka was
in a similar state during a civil war. Egypt and
Syria faced disturbances too.
