Â
2. Do you think that business practices in an Islamic country are likely to differ from business practices in the United States? If so, how?
Â
3. What are the implications for international business of differences in the dominant religion or ethical system of a country?
Â
4. Choose two countries that appear to be culturally diverse. Compare the cultures of those countries and then indicate how cultural differences influence (a) the costs of

5. A visiting American executive finds that a foreign subsidiary in a poor nation has hired a 12-year-old girl to work on a factory floor, in violation of the company’s prohibition
on child labor. He tells the local manager to replace the child and to tell the child to go back to school. The local manager tells the American executive that the child is an
orphan with no other means of support, and she will probably become a street child if she is denied work. What should the American executive do?
Â
6. Under what conditions is it ethically defensible to outsource production to the developing world where labor costs are lower when such actions also involve laying
off long-term employees in the firm’s home country?
