Answer to Question 1

Some possible answers include language, culture, politics, economy, currency, legal and accounting systems, governmental interference, and labor. In domestic operations, English is universally used, while in international operation the use of local language is required in many situations. In domestic operations, culture is relatively homogeneous, while it is quite diverse in international operations. Politics are stable and somewhat unimportant domestically but could be volatile internationally. The economy is uniform domestically but varies internationally. Finally, governmental interference is extensive and subject to change in international operations but minimal in domestic operations. The steps in the process are to 1.develop a mission statement, 2. perform a SWOT analysis, 3. set strategic goals, 4. develop tactical goals and plans, and 5. develop a control framework.
