1. Why do companies tend to thrive in global markets when their country of origin enjoys a comparative advantage in their industry?
2. Identify a country that enjoys a comparative advantage in an industry that interests you. How do you think the country's comparative advantage developed? Does strong domestic demand play a role? Does domestic competition factor into the equation? What other factors might have contributed? Use the Internet to research the key players in the industry from the country that you chose. Does each of the companies have a strong international presence? Why or why not?
3. Compare the role of the individual and the role of the organization in ethical decision making. How can business promote an ethical climate?
4. Taking a code of ethics "off the wall and into the hall" can be a particular challenge for medium to large firms with a diverse array of employees.  Imagine that you are the president of a ten-location casual dining restaurant chain that operates in your state. You have recently developed a code of ethics that you unveiled last month at a meeting with your restaurant managers. But as you've visited the various restaurants and chatted with the employees this month, you've realized that most of them know nothing about the code of ethics other than that it's posted on the break room wall. Clearly, you need to bring the code of ethics to life. Outline a training plan that will help employees at all levels-from bus boys to kitchen managers-understand and live by the code of ethics.
