International Legal and Ethical Issue Simulation

Once an individual completes the simulation, he or she can see that there are many problems concerning the practices, and resolving of international transacts disputes. It was hard trying to work through the difficulties of dealing with two different sets of protective laws. One problem encountered was attempting to develop one agreement that would represent two different companies, each with its own set of government policies regarding business.

The example regarding the beard may not always be acceptable in certain situations, and a company may have to make some adjustments to deal with particular situations that arise. These adjustments could make it easier to comply with the foreign country's requirements and make conducting business in that country more pleasant. This also helps to protect companies against any claims of discrimination.

The essential differences between domestic and international issues is that in domestic business practices, both parties are subject to the same laws, rules, and customs makes it easier to develop an agreement. In international cases involving the application of two different sets of laws, rules, and customs
