Q2:
answers should discuss the quality and quantity of natural resources in Canada, the strength of the Canadian dollar, Canada’s infrastructure, the research and development undertaken in this country, the characteristics of the Canadian workforce, the characteristics of Canadian society, the level of entrepreneurship in Canada, and the amount of government involvement in Canadian business.

Q3.
answers should describe specific issues from the chapter, then explain how they might be dealt with. Examples of issues are
– Host country issues: environmental protection and pollution; corruption, bribery;
– Consumer issues: product safety and standards
– Employee issues: workplace health and safety, equality, human rights, child labour
– Stockholder issues: profitability and honesty.
Each issue can generate a variety of answers. Students who deal with child labour, for example, can argue for supporting it based on cultural relativism, working to eradicate it by supporting local legal initiatives, publicizing companies that engage in the practice to stir consumer activism, or ceasing to deal with the offending nations, based on ethical imperialism.
