o MindToolsVideos (2018) states that when businesses identify their Strengths,
Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, they can exploit the most significant
opportunities and eliminate obstacles that may lead to business downfall.

greed, thereby damaging the company's reputation and destroying the company's
public interests.

to customer loss in the business.
o The storming stage then follows after the forming stage, whereby members
introduce conflicts to know how the group would look like.

organization.
