[QUOTE="datguyak, post: 6845, member: 1129"] I got asked this in an interview- was really not prepared for it but the way I went about answering was: Whilst on a legal internship I had to make a presentation to an imaginary start-up company- this involved explaining what was happening worldwide which could have an impact on them - at the time Uber was in court - could that have affected future start-ups eg how they are run? employment issues? -were they a company that could be affected by the America China trade war? if so how? etc. I know this isn't detailed enough for an application question but that's how I went about answering it- I think the key is being able to select a time when you had to think about commercial/worldwide/political (etc) events and be able to form an opinion on it and understand how it may affect other things. sorry if it's all a bit vague- it's a tricky question! Hope it helps a bit! It sounds like a very broad question though on the whole though so you have a lot of room to work in. [/QUOTE]
