Answer:
The response is cultural environments.
Explanation:
When a business begins to conduct business overseas, they have to take into consideration the cultural differences that exist in the country where they are beginning operations. The local population will likely have different behaviors and beliefs when it comes to work culture and even in terms of the acceptance of a new product in their market. One example of a cultural difference is how in the United States people generally are very uncomfortable with silence so a long pause in a business meeting is considered rude or being under-prepared. In Asian cultures like Korea or Japan silence is not considered the same way and people often remain silent without it necessarily signaling a problem. In Korea pauses are allowed for contemplation of something said.

This has lead to economic stagnation in these countries. In order to boost their own economies, they are now looking at the models of more productive nations whose economies are growing very rapidly and are attempting to mirror their market systems.

You see, we are more likely to find tropical rainforest and jungles on a hot and sunny location like on the equator. In fact, desert doesnt always have to be hot at all, for instance, the antarctica. Deserts are formed on locations with different climates and less precipitation. And unlike the locations on the equator, which receives high amount of rainfalls, deserts receive way too little, thus, affecting the vegetation and growth in the area.
