    Q: List elements of the national business environment that influence the standardization-versus-adaptation decision. Standardized is just one of a number of strategies with which firms successfully enter the international marketplace today. Standardization may not always be the most appropriate strategy, even. Smaller companies may also be better off adapting to local cultures and exploiting their international image to gain market share locally. Consumers in different national markets often demand products that reflect their unique tastes and preferences. Cultural, political, legal, and economic environments have a great deal to do with the preferences of both consumers and industrial buyers worldwide.

Cruises, i.e., sea voyages for pleasure, offer passengers the convenience of an assigned cabin as they sail along a fixed itinerary that concludes at their original point of sea embarkation.
