Business Environment
The term- legal environment- relates to the code of conduct of any company. It defines the legal
boundaries and scope of the firm. Wage rates, laws relating to age and disability discrimination,
and employment and environment laws and other laws that affects, directly or indirectly, a
business must be considered in determining the legal environment of an international business.
Having a good background about the legal environment of one’s business allows managers to
know their limits and boundaries before fully engaging themselves into the said business. Also,
the legal environment helps managers in making business decisions that are ethical and in-line
(in consideration) with the welfare of the society where it operates. While in assessing the
technological environment of an international business, both negative and positive impacts must
be identified before making business decisions that are meant to develop and improve the said
business. Technological change can bring about advantages and opportunities for businesses
such as fast and vast creation of new products and services, as well as improvements in
technological products and processes which increase productivity and reduce costs. However,
this technological change may also bring negative impacts to businesses like increase in
competition of businesses in the same industry.
