Side 1. Financial necessities: Above all, for an international business to be viable, it must generate a profit that is beyond the break-even point. All good intentions aside, a global business that is not profitable will not stay in existence for very long. A company that cannot break even financially will be without necessary funds for development, maintenance, and expansion.
Side 2. The importance of ethics: Above all, for an international business to be viable, it must operate in an ethical manner. Although many companies have different levels of profitability at different points in time, the company that disregards its moral obligations is bound to fail because of disapproval from the public, possibly even in the form of legal penalties. A company that cannot avoid scandal will not stay in existence for very long.
