It sounds strange that executive management a) would be interested in this
level of detail and b) would make such a decision without expert input.
The simple answer is cost: you can implement your system(s) so that you
have no simple way of interoperating across platforms and locales, but
that's very expensive, and very error-prone. Alternatively, you can have it
all in Unicode, where you can run exactly the same on all platforms and
locales, with only user-interfaces being in a platform encoding
(sometimes).
