A single international political and legal environment does not exist. The business executive has to be aware of political and legal factors on a variety of levels. No manager can afford to ignore the rules and regulations of the country from which he or she conducts international business transactions. Many of these laws and regulations may not specifically address international business issues, yet they can have a major influence on a firm`s opportunities abroad. Minimum wage legislation, for example, affects the international competitiveness of a firm using production processes that are highly labour intensive. The cost of domestic safety regulations may significantly affect the pricing policies of companies.
Regulating international business behaviour home countries may use special laws and regulations to ensure that the international business behaviour of the firms headquartered within the countries is conducted according to the moral and ethical norms. The content of the regulations may vary substantially between nations. Other legal and regulatory measures, however, are clearly aimed at international business. Some may be designed to help firms in their international efforts. For example, governments may attempt to aid and protect the business efforts of domestic companies facing competition from gray markets activities.
Often, however, governments also have specific rules and regulations that restrict international business. Such regulations are frequently political in nature and are based on governmental objectives rather than on commercial aims.
