10、he advancement globalization and Chinas WTO entry,-.z.businessenterprises in China have to face more and more business negotiations with foreign enterprises,especially with Americanenterprises.In these negotiations,Chinesenegotiators sometimes feel uncomfortable,puzzled,lost,irritated and the alike,
11、because of unfamiliar custom and behaviors demonstrated by American negotiators.Meanwhile,American negotiators confront the same situation.Cult rural differences between China and west countries could cause many problems.Therefore,understanding cultural differences and overcoming them is crucial in
12、international business negotiations.Although the definition of culture is numerous and vague,it is commonly Recognized that culture is a shared system of symbols,beliefs,values,attitudes and e*pectations.Culture is a major determinant in business negotiation.So have a clear picture of culture differ
13、ences if of great significance.2.Types of Culture Differences The east countries and west countries have produced different cultures on the different continents.Among the different cultures,value views,negotiating style and thinking model appear more obvious.2.1Value View Value view is the standard
14、that people use to asses objective things.It includes timeview,equality view and objectivity.People may draw a different or even contradictory conclusion about the same thing.Value view is one of the most important differences among the many factors.It can influence the attitude,needs and behavior o
15、f people.The value view varies from nation to nation,people know that the eastern person focus on collectivism,while the western people pay more attention to individualism.-.z.2.2.Negotiating Style Negotiating style refers to the tolerance and graces which the negotiator shows in the negotiation.The
16、 negotiators show their negotiating style through behavior,manners and the method of controlling negotiation process during the negotiation.The negotiators negotiating style has a bearing on their culture background.According to the culture differences,negotiating style falls into two types:the east
17、 negotiating style pattern and the west negotiating style pattern.2.3.Thinking Model Thinking model reflects the culture.Because of the influences of history background,continents,words and living method,different nations generate different thinking models.Surely,there is more than one thinking mode
18、l of a nation,but one is more obvious compared with others.As a whole,east people,especially Chinese have strong comprehensive thinking,image thinking and curved thinking,while analytical thinking,abstract thinking and direct thinking are possessed by the west people.3.Impact of Cultural Differences
19、 on International Business Negotiations With the rapid development of economy,we need to do business with businessmen under different culturebackground,so in order to reach trade agreement,it is necessary for us to study the impact of culture differences on international negotiation in global busine
20、ss activities.The impact of culture differences on international negotiation is e*tensive and deeply.Different cultures divide the people into different group and they are also the obstacles of peoples communication.Accordingly,it is required that the negotiator should accept the culture of each oth
21、er.Furthermore,through culture-.z.differences,it is important that the negotiator reveal and understand the other partys goal and behavior and make him or herself be accepted by the opponent to reach agreement finally.3.1Impactof Value Views Differences onInternationalBusiness Negotiations Value Vie
22、ws Differences onInternationalBusiness Negotiations fall into three types:time view,negotiation style,thinking model.Each has big influences on business negotiation Theobjectivity in international businessnegotiation reflects the degree to which people treat any things.West people especially America
23、ns have a strong objectivity on the understanding of issues.At negotiation table,Americans dont care much about relationship betweenpeople.They dont care if the status of the opponent is equal to theirs.They make decision based on facts and data,notpeople.The saying that public things use public way
24、s is a reflection of Americanobjectivity.Therefore，Americans emphasize that Businessmen should distinguish people and issues,what they are really interested in is the actual problems.But in the other parts of the world,it is impossible for them to distinguish people and issues.3.2Impact of Negotiati
25、ng Style Differences on International Business Negotiations The impacts of negotiating style differences on international business negotiation mainly e*ist in negotiating method and negotiating structure.Take the negotiation between America and China as a e*ample,since the oriental care more about u
26、nity in thinking,theymethod they adopt in negotiation is from unity to parts,from the big to little,from the abstract to the concrete,that is to say they should each agreement on-.z.generalterms,thenbegin to talk about the concrete terms.Andusually not until the end of the negotiation do they make c
27、ompromise and promise based on all the items,and then to reach agreement.The west people are influenced by analytic thinking,so pay more attention to logical relations between things.They consider more about concrete things than integrity.And they tend discuss the concrete items at the beginning of
28、negotiation,so they often resolve the price,delivery and issuance respectively at first.And they may make compromise at every detail,so the final contract is the combination of many little agreements.The negotiating structure is linked with cultures.Negotiating structure mostly refers to the number
29、of the participants.In business negotiation,theforeign delegation is usually composed by 3-5 people,while the Chinese one could be more 15 people.That results from the influence of collectivism.So they often said to their partners:Let us think about it.Let us discuss it.But the west negotiators coul
30、d make the final decision without going back for discussion.Thatbecause their admire individualism and hard working.They have strong independence.They would carry on according to the best ways after knowing their goals.Whats more,most west people think that they have the ability to deal with the neg
31、otiation situation on their own.Andtruly,they are brave enough to take responsibility.3.3Impact of Thinking Model Differences on International Business Negotiation The thinking model of Chinese tends to be comprehensive,concrete and curved,while the Americans are usually analytic,abstract and straig
32、ht-line.We Chinese are accustomed to talking about generalprinciples at first and then move onto details.To Chinese negotiators,the core is the general guideline,and the details are subject to the-.z.guideline.After figuring out the big picture,other problems are easier to resolve.It is the most obv
33、ious feature of Chinese negotiators.But west businessmen,especially Americans are likely to discuss the details first and try to avoid the principle.They value details very much and think noting about the unity.Accordingly,they want to discuss the details at the beginning of negotiation.They are dir
34、ect and simple in negotiation.As a matter of fact,many facts show that General principles first have impact of constriction on the parts and details.Forinstance,ourgovernment insists on the principle that Hong Kong and Macao are undivided parts of Chinas territory.In the important diplomatic negotia
35、tions such as Entering into relationship with America,Hong Kongs and Macaos Coming back into their motherland.It is under such principle that we established the tone of the negotiation and controlled the skeleton of the negotiation,thus we get the advantage and prompt the success of negotiation.4.Co
36、ping Strategy of Negotiating across Cultures The culture differences in cross-cultural communication have various impacts on operation of enterprises.These differences will influence negotiation and management of transnational operation;whatsmore,it may have bad effects on the harmonious relationshi
37、p between our country and foreign countries.Maybe that will lead to the missing of market opportunities,the increase of trade cost and the low efficiency of company management.So,it is really necessary for us all to eliminate and avoid disadvantageous effects.4.1 Making Preparations before Negotiati
38、on.The negotiators must make good preparations if they want control the development-.z.of negotiation successfully in the comple*situation.Only do they make good preparations can they make changes freely according to the situation of negotiation and avoid the happening of conflicts.Because the inter
39、national business negotiation involves e*tensive aspects,more preparations are needed.The preparations often include the analysis of the negotiators themselves and the opponents;theconstitution of negotiation group,elaborating the negotiating goal and strategy and going on imitation negotiation when
40、 necessary.When making preparations,you should try to know the opponents while you analyze yourselves.Analyzing yourselves mainly refers to studying if the project is feasible.To knowing about the opponents means understanding their strength such as credit status,the policy、business customs and regu
41、lations of their countries and the conditions of their negotiating members and so on.4.2Overcoming Cultural Prejudice Tolerating different cultures and overcoming cultural prejudice contribute to better communicating with each other and understanding each other.West people often think that they are
42、powerful,capable and e*perienced,so sometimes,we need to recognize then and give then some good comments.We should learn about the foreign cultures before negotiation and accept and understand their cultures in negotiation,because every country regard their own cultures as a matter of course and hop
43、e that their culture could be recognized and accepted.4.3Conquering Communication Barriers Two trains running at different railways in the opposite direction will collide with each other;maybe this is the best arrangement for trains.But to communication between-.z.people,there wont be communications
44、 if people go ahead according to their own ways.Trains will collide with each other if they run on the same railway at the opposite direction.But if we measure by the objective of peoples communication,only we meet each other,can we have communication and friendship.In negotiation,sometimes we cant
45、make much progress although we have talked for longtime.And sometimes both parties are not satisfied.Afterthinking,that is caused by communication barriers which happen easily in cross-cultural negotiation.We should make sure if there appear communication barriers,ifso,we must overcome them.Generall
46、yspeaking,we should pay more attention to the following three communication barriers in cross-cultural negotiation:the communication barriers caused by culture background of both;the ones caused by misunderstanding of the contents and information from the partner;the ones caused by not being willing
47、 to accept the opponent s contents and ideas.5.Conclusion“Social Customs varies in different countries”.In a word,cross-cultural communication will meet the problem of culture differences surely.Inturn,culture differences also influence all aspects of international business communication.To avoid or
48、 to resolve the culture differences is a huge task in international business negotiation.In order to step into the international market successfully,we must have the awareness of culture differences,acknowledge culture differences and understand different cultures.Try to know yourself and know them.
49、Whatsmore,we should respect different behavior of businessmen under different culture background,and then we could reduce unnecessary conflicts resulting from not respecting the opponents.It is beneficial for-.z.both to form an atmosphere of mutual trust and cooperation,reduce culture differences an
50、d turn disadvantages into advantages and benefits.Thus,we could avoid conflicts and obstacles,then to promote communication and harmony in international business negotiation.Bibliography Cao Ling editor:Business English negotiations,Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press,2004 Catherine,kelly,r
