4、more and more opportunities to do business with foreigners .Now in this large-scale cross-border economic activities, the function of international business negotiations are becoming more and more important .In regular negotiations, we usually focuses on the strategic dimension of the negotiation pr

5、ocess, concentrating on business relationships between the concerned parties, tactics, bargaining strategies, contingency positions, and so on .However, what makes someone a good negotiator in one culture may not work well in another. We know that, culture is complex, and everyone agrees that cultur

6、es affect peoples behaviors, because cultures influence peoples values, religion and customs .So negotiators form different cultural backgrounds have own special methods and styles. Cultural difference is becoming a much more important element in international business negotiation .This thesis tries

7、 to make a positive study about the cultural differences in business negotiation.Keywords: cultural differences; international business negotiations; China and the West0. Introduction International business negotiations are international business activities conducted for different purposes of intere

8、st, in order to achieve a particular transaction and are the process of consultation under the conditions of the transaction. Stakeholders in negotiations are usually foreign governments, enterprises or citizens; the other party is Chinas government, enterprises or citizens. International business n

9、egotiation is an important and indispensable part of foreign economy and trade .And International business negotiations between different countries in trade and commerce activities is much more complex than those in domestic business negotiations. Cultural factors are playing a very important role i

10、n international business negotiations. So far, people from different backgrounds have made a lot of definitions about culture but generally it refers to the sense of knowledge, customs, legal, ethical beliefs, arts and so on. It is culture that decides people values and psychological qualities in a

11、particular living environment. It is binding and influences the conduct of persons under the same cultural backgrounds. Different countries have their own unique cultural and historical practices .International business negotiations are across-border activities, and so it is very important to get a

12、good knowledge of different cultural backgrounds and taking cultural differences into consideration while we are negotiating. The thesis focuses on finding the particular cultural elements which function in business negotiation between China and the West.1. The six basic forms of cultural difference

13、s There are six basic forms of cultural differences in international negotiation between China and the West. 1.1Different means of communication From the forms of communication, we are talking a different language, when we express something ,we Chinese like saying something else having nothing with

14、the business they are discussing ,after that we just enter into our goal. But for the West they like to get into what they need to discuss right now. 1.2A contradiction facing conflictsWhen a conflict arises, the other side most of the time is to resolve quickly, but we in our culture, we perform mo

15、re caution and often step back and observe the position, but at this time, we tend to also not good at expressing this meaning and cause some misunderstanding that the other side think that we are not interested . so sometimes, in practice, we encounter such a problem.For example, the United States

16、is a highly developed country, the faster pace of life. This makes Americans pay particular attention to value his time and focus on activities more efficient. In negotiation, If the characteristics of each others negotiations with them inconsistent or contrary, then they will feel not applied and o

17、ften expressed their dissatisfaction directly out. But if the opponent is also negotiating with this style and be positive to solve problem, it will be very efficient. 1.3Different ways of completing the task The way we work a task is to talk with others and conclude a collective decision, at last t

18、he decision is decided by the lead .But for them, that is to say who is responsible, who finalized, so it often requires a fast decision, because they caring all responsibility have the right to negotiate with you .If they do not have the right, they would not come to the negotiating rooms come to t

19、he negotiating table to negotiate with you. So too often our negotiators at the table are not the most important people to make decisions. So it has a large difference in the way of completing the task. American negotiators often act in an impersonal way-“business is business” is their maxim. Beside

20、s, American negotiators are always mission-driven-anxious to bring parties concerned into agreement, and they have little interest in building up any relationship. Furthermore, American negotiators like to be openly challenged for the negotiation 1.4Decision-makingFor us this is a great flexibility,

21、 and there is a lot of time extension, in the West, this is considered as not to make decisions.Affected by the profound impact of Western culture, Westerners role hierarchy and coordination requirements is relatively low, often respect the individuals role and individuals in actual work performance

22、. Decision-making in enterprises, often have features of making decisions by an individual or a small number and top-down manner and emphasized individual responsibility in decision-making. Their desire for self-expression is strong and happy to play cowboy tough guy or hero image. In the negotiatio

23、ns, they like to demonstrate self-confidence in power look like. In the Western negotiating teams, the delegation of the number of generally is not more than seven people, rarely seen large-scale delegation. Even if there are members of the group present, Key decision makers in the negotiations are

24、usually only one or two people, they tend to have the right to make a decision, fait accompli is common. But they are often very serious pre-negotiation, full, detailed and standardized information to make preparations for the negotiation process can be simply and flexibly to the decision-making. 1.

25、5The way to disclose the information We all knows in business talks, we need strategically in a planned way to disclose some information. Very few people on the negotiating table, as our culture is concerned, put all of our information on all light to each other. Often we want to achieve the greates

26、t benefits by the way of a strategy, Then the information revealed in this process, it has a great difference in Eastern and Western cultures. Often some of us appear to be more hidden, or some more strategically. In Western society inside, he put all things that should let you know to tell you and

27、then they wait for your decision. 1.6Our basis of trust Our relationship-oriented culture, often as a kind of seclusion, say caring individuals especially the stranger, or is unexpected relationships, the lack of a certain trust. In the society in the United States do in order to comparing individua

28、l-based because it is the whole community, this free spirit is a core of their often speaking at this major event, like itself, then it said let us save the world. Well, In Western society, especially in the United States, inside the community, trust is very important. Failed to fulfill the contract

29、 it would avoid any legal conflicts arising, so the concept of a contract requires it specific. So in the negotiation process, we often encounter such problems, the terms of contract they propose are in detail, but we trend to discussing the above a lot of things in the future. We also have to under

30、stand the gap, sometimes we may even feel too much pressure, because we have not thought of that step2. The methods of dealing with cultural differences and the samples Facing cultural differences, we need deal with flexibly , because each of us want to enter negotiations ,to enter the work, its nat

31、ure and contents are often not the same, in a word, we learn from other cultures as a conclusion but do not use it kinds of culture and a general conclusion to apply to everyone. we should have a better understanding of its culture, and appreciate the beauty of human diversity, then this requires that we not only understand its culture universal, then the actual operation of the process, but also understand the culture of each individual it personality, so it is also a challeng
