Ryan is the executive general manager of a U. S. multinational and Veronica is a manager in a similar position, but works for another U. S. company that operates only in its home country. In this context, which of the following business functions will be most typically exclusive to Ryan?a) Marketing a product or serviceb) Adhering to labor and environmental standardsc) Planning on a business strategyd) Maintaining healthy relations with the U. S. governmente) Choosing an appropriate mode for entering a particular foreign country

The correct answer is letter "E": Choosing an appropriate mode for entering a particular foreign country.

Explanation:

Multinationals are entities that operate, as its name says, in different countries. They implement diverse business strategies such as joint ventures, franchises, or licenses to have a presence across the world but possess its headquarters usually in the country where the company started operations.  

In Ryan's case, as he is a manager for a multinational corporation, the entry and exit of business abroad is exclusive of his functions. It would not represent a topic of discussion for Veronica since she is also a manager but the company she works for has domestic scope only.
