One key theme of the past two years has been logistics, with an emphasis on supply chains. The world has gone from just-in-time inventory systems to creating a buffer to avoid having to contend with shutdowns stemming from any uncertainty.

The retailer that lists all its products for $5 or ...

That will impact the bottom line of some companies more than others, given the state of Russia’s economy. For some players, like fast food operations, the loss of the Russian market can have a big impact. For other sectors, there may not be much more than a symbolic gesture.
