Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The factors mentioned in the question, such as consumer tastes and preferences, infrastructure and traditional practices, distribution channels, and host government demands, are all unique to each country and require firms to be locally responsive. Being globally standardized or cost sensitive may not be effective in addressing these country-specific factors. Similarly, integrating more "commodity" like features or being politically neutral may not be relevant to addressing the factors mentioned in the question.
