International Forces involve changes in which system?

• A. Changes in local zoning laws
• B. The economic, political, legal, and technological global system
• C. Changes in organizational culture
• D. Changes in internal governance

Answer: (B)

International forces are changes in the global environment that affect organizations operating across borders. These forces come from the broad economic, political, legal, and technological developments that unfold on an international scale, shaping how businesses compete, partner, and innovate. Because the focus is on dynamics that span multiple countries, the global economic system, international regulations, and cross-border technology trends are all part of what international forces influence.

Local zoning laws, by contrast, are confined to a specific locality and don’t reflect global dynamics. Likewise, organizational culture and internal governance reside within a single organization and describe internal practices rather than external, cross-border pressures.
