1. Ask yourself: what are the “nationalities” of the following corporations?

In your opinion, if a company has its headquarters in Bermuda, is it a “Bermudan” company? If so, in what respect? If not, explain why not.

No, It will be named according to its source of origin. For instance, if any US company has its headquarters in Bermuda, It will be known as an American-owned company with Bermuda headquarters.

2. Almost all of the European Union countries use the Euro as their common currency. Does this help or hinder international ISs? Does it foster the use of information systems and the web? Explain.

Since the European countries use the Euro as their common currency this helps in many ways such as not needing to pay the difference in conversions every time, they go to a different EU location.

3. Which legal approach do you prefer for e-commerce: country of origin or country of destination? Answer the question as a businessperson, then answer it as a consumer.?

As a business person I 'd use country of origin as my preferred choice as this will restrict my risk of being sued from different geographical locations particularly if I'm an online business from a different state / nation.

I should use the country of destination as a customer, as it will benefit me because I understand my area 's laws better than international law.
