A difficult challenge in intercultural business contexts is that what is considered ethical and/or legal in one country may not be so in another:

••For example, according to crosscultural experts, it is common in many countries (e.g., in Eastern Europe) to specify gender, age, and appearance in job ads when hiring employees—a practice that is considered illegal in the United States under the Equal Opportunity Employment laws.

If you were working in a multinational corporation, how would you deal with these legal/ethical dilemmas? Is it ever okay to behave in a way that you might consider unethical or illegal when you’re in another country that has a different legal/ethical system?
