3.2. One cultural difference that can cause significant problems for American companies could be the status of women in Arab nations.

The American company may be forced to...
The American company may also choose to change nothing about its approach and let the chips fall where they may. This represents a significant ethical issue, because one party or the other is going to have to work outside its normal cultural or religious custom, and the American company would be right to assume that it need not always be them to make the adjustment.

Security Cryptography In order to maintain information secrecy one would use cryptography. This is intentionally making information unintelligible. This method is mainly employed during the transmission of information. Cryptography ensures that only the intended person would be able to decipher the information (Whitman & Mattord, 2011, p. 339). The process of deciphering encrypted text is referred to as cryptanalysis. Cryptology is the mathematics branch covering cryptography and cryptanalysis. Cryptology has been
S. Department of Defense (DOD) uses over two million computers and more than ten thousand local area networks, most of which are linked to, and vulnerable to attack from, users of the larger Internet.

The final channel regards the level of taxation on the corporate earnings and the rules applicable in depreciations. There have been arguments that fiscal policy
