Objective:
Apply critical thinking skills to analyze business situations.
Recognize situations that present potential ethical and legal issues and develop solutions for those issues.
Explain the macroeconomic and microeconomic concepts and how they relate to the management of a global organization.

Identify the country.

Another way of addressing the question about who benefits and who loses is to ask: Do they protect a specific industry ? Are those restrictions there for public safety or health concerns?

(This question recognizes that any regulatory structure will create gainers and losers. )
