By paying attention to prohibited trade practices and affirmative defenses of companies whose stocks are traded on the U.S. securities exchanges, I need help discussing how differing laws and practices regarding acceptable trade practices among various countries might advantage or hinder U.S. companies seeking to expand operations globally.

And how might these differences affect the ability of U.S. companies to compete against entities in other countries?

I also need help developing response to the following:

Does optimizing operations in a global environment work at cross-purposes to the traditional domestic perspective of organizational well-being? Should domestic entities adopt organizational or operational philosophies and processes that call for efficiency, success, and cross-cultural acceptance? Justify your answer with support from the literature.
