Although Capos is well-positioned to have a competitive advantage over other online retailers one of the biggest threats in my opinion that they will face is globalization. I say this because from the reading; Capos use competitive pricing.
However, in international markets products have a cheaper price and their shipping rates vary. Therefore, Capos wouldn’t be able to offer their free shipping if they were to relocate into international markets.

Sustainability basically goes hand in hand with globalization because they would have to be able to adapt to the change when entering into these markets.
For example, the economy is changing everyday throughout the United States and internationally with how businesses run. With the pricing in these markets going international is going to also affect how their business will successfully run. Human resource practices can help meet these challenges by helping recruit the right employees to still promote the vision that Capos currently old. They can do this by interviewing through assessment testing to make sure they have the skills and requirements for the position of which they apply.
