Barriers that affect international corporate decision making are:

• Trade regulations: different countries have different trade regulations. Some have strict rules; some may be easy going. Instability in the trade regulations affects the decision making of international corporations.
• Taxation rules: some countries may have high taxes, and due to this, the foreign companies have to pay a high amount of tax for setting up the business in that country. High costs also because of high taxes also affect the decision making of international corporations.
