The company operates both nationally and internationally, including in a country experiencing civil unrest. While the company's facilities and products are protected, and employees' safety is being ensured, there is discussion of imposing sanctions on the government for its actions against citizens. The company must decide whether to continue regular operations, halt operations, or leave the country in support of the people.

1. Your company is currently engaged in business activities both
nationally and internationally. A country you are operating in is
experiencing riots, strikes by its citizens, unconfirmed violence
against its people by the government, and other atrocities. Your
physical facilities and products are insured and protected, and
your company is attempting to ensure the safety and well-being
of your employees. There is talk that possible sanctions may be
enforced against the government of this country to halt its
activities against its people. Financial performance in this
country has been solid, and the forecast is equally looking up. It
is your task to write a statement to be presented to your CEO
regarding the future of the company's operations in this country.
Should the company continue regular operations, halt operations
based upon the actions of the government, or leave this country
as a public show of support for the people?
