Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boycotts and protests can lead to a decrease in sales as consumers may choose to avoid purchasing from the boycotted company. This can lead to a reduction in revenue and profits, as well as requiring additional publicity and public relations efforts to repair the company's image. However, it is not likely to prevent businesses from shipping their products to foreign markets, destroy the ability of all local firms to carry on normal business operations, or raise concerns about a firm's foreign operations by initiating lawsuits.
