fictional company and prepare an executive memo pertaining to the legal
and ethical implications of a company doing business internationally.

Scenario

You are working for a major U.S. corporation that wants to expand its
reach globally and has narrowed the search down to either Mexico or Japan. Your
supervisor has asked you to prepare a memo that analyzes potential compliance
issues with respect to aspects of law and ethics that are specific to one of
the two countries. You will choose to prepare your memo for either Mexico or
Japan and address the critical elements below. This will help inform the final
executive decision.

Because you have some fluency with domestic laws, and given your
background and history with the corporation, you have been asked to assess the
pros and cons of the decision, and to provide your insights with respect to the
ethical and legal implications of the expansion.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. 
What pertinent
aspects of U.S. law should the company be aware of in its goal to do business
internationally?

II. 
Assess the legal
implications of moving business abroad specific to your chosen country. What
are the advantages and disadvantages?

III. 
What are the
ethical implications involved in this business decision?

IV.  Explain how
other domestic companies have managed to comply with the U.S. laws related to
this business decision in the past. How did these

companies
address potential compliance issues?
