Why, why, why – all this "pressure for local responsiveness" when going global. It makes my head hurt – all that pressure. However, in class we learned that nation states do indeed have interesting rules that force that pressure on us (think content or partners). But, again why do they have these rules that pressure us for local responsiveness? In the choices below choose the MOST CORRECT answer on "why" countries have these "local responsiveness" rules?

a. The key issues that drive local responsiveness are economic and workforce development within any hosting nation
b. A locally responsive company is one that will operate with a high degree of ethics and social responsibility with respect to employees and customers
c. Building new infrastructure is the goal of all host nations and locally responsive companies will build community infrastructure along with new facilities
d. When a home country does business in a host country, making products that are responsive to the needs and tastes of the local consumer is what will reduce this pressure
e. Nation states all have an interest in making sure that all products produced within their borders are of a standard level of quality regardless of where the partner company is located
