9. What would a partnership with Amnesty International do for G-Money Industries? Familiarize the company with the area and culture. Bridge the language barrier. Provide a positive presence in the area. Explain the past problems and current problems in regards to rights, working conditions and ethical treatment. Make recommendations on what the company can do to maintain and promote human rights. Increase worldwide exposure Make the company more attractive to other countries for future expansion. Give the citizens and workers of the area a sense of security that they are being taken care of by their employer.

10. Summary It is my opinion that G-Money Industries needs to evaluate the need to expand. They need to take into consideration the cultural barrier that they will encounter. If it is in their best interest to expand, a partnership with an organization like Amnesty International would be a step in the right direction. Although this may lead to increase costs that they may not be able to afford, but could they not afford to do it. It would cost more to go into a different country, not prepared and not willing to work with the cultural differences and leave than to go in prepared and willing to work with the people. You have to spend money to make money. Spend it wisely, and you will be heavily rewarded.
