Message: <blockquote data-quote="George Maxwell" data-source="post: 90748" data-attributes="member: 17165">Hi [USER=4098]@futuretraineesolicitor[/USER],My understanding is that managers do have to be, or should be, (at least) familiar, as does any employee taking decisions in a business context, with what rules and regulations might apply when taking an action on behalf of a company (especially if this is somewhere with a different (business) culture). Even though they are not specialists, having a rough idea is surely going to be useful. So you are right in that lawyers, who are the specialists, will do the heavy lifting regarding legalistic compliance regarding rules and regulations. However, in this case, the information given does not suggest that the workshop's content is extremely legalistic. It is ambiguous. On the information given, we could conclude that the workshop aims merely to introduce the managers to the rules and procedures of a given jurisdiction, perhaps at a very high level. This is something that is relevant to a manager in a business context doing international work and could be very relevant/useful.It sounds like what you are struggling with is how we are justified, using common knowledge, in assuming that a "cross cultural workshop" given to managers would cover "rules and regulations" at all.My reasoning is:I assume that "rules and regulations" are one of the most important elements of doing international/cross cultural work. If you are taking decisions as a manager on behalf of a business, this would be useful knowledge to have. It seems to me that it is a reasonable assumption to make that one might incorporate an important element of doing international/cross cultural work into a cross cultural workshop, even if it is only at a high level. We do not know for certain that this is true. However, it is certainly conceivable that this could be covered in such a workshop as it would be useful for managers doing cross cultural work to be familiar with applicable rules and regulations.You are right though, it is also conceivable that such a workshop may not cover "rules and regulations". For example, it might just be on soft skills. But it seems to be a fair assumption to make that such a workshop might cover this topic, and this possibility is why the answer is Probably False.Does that make things any clearer? Do say if not! I hope that helps though <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
