Opportunities and threats are external, such as changing demand for advanced computing, shifts in component markets, intensified competition or regulatory expectations. Keeping the categories separate matters because a supplier concentration issue is an internal exposure to manage, whereas a broader market disruption is an external condition to monitor.
