Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, EBC University Hamburg, language: English, abstract: Published in 1982, Howard Raiffa’s book "The Art and Science of Negotiation" constitutes the dawn of a new era with its asymmetrically prescriptive/descriptive orientation. It consolidated distinctive approaches, boosted research and overcame thinking barriers. In times of a globalized, highly interdependent world with multibillion dollar cross border M&A transactions, international business negotiations are an essential part of the global economy and shape a company’s success. This thesis describes the cultural dimensions of Hofstede and Hall and additionally Raiffa’s negotiation analysis from the perspective of distributive negotiations. A new approach for international business negotiations is introduced which should enable negotiators to deal with differences at an international stage. In order to understand if and how culture affects negotiation hypotheses are derived from theoretical grounded work. By conducting several interviews with negotiators from different cultural backgrounds, tendencies are illustrated and the question whether further empirical research is needed is answered. The interviews show that negotiations between individuals from countries with different power distance indexes often lead to non-agreements. Moreover, the interviewees think that negotiators with an individualist mindset are more likely to reach an agreement in distributive negotiations. Lastly, the interview reveals that negotiators from a country scoring high in masculinity tend to apply rather distributive than integrative negotiation styles. Further validation of the hypotheses with case stud-ies and experiments have yet to be conducted.

Salacuse will guide the reader from the first handshake with a potential foreign partner to the intricacies of making the international joint venture succeed and prosper, or should things go poorly, how to deal with getting out of a deal gone wrong. Salacuse illustrates the many ways in which an international deal may falter and the methods parties can use to save it, provides the necessary technical knowledge to structure specific business transactions, and explores the transformations to the international business landscape over the last decade.
Download or read book Negotiating Globally written by Jeanne M. Brett and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-08-13 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it was first published in 2001, Negotiating Globally quickly became the basic reference for managers who needed to learn how to negotiate successfully across boundaries of national culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition preserves the structure of the acclaimed first edition and improves upon it, making it even easier to learn how to navigate national culture when negotiating deals, resolving disputes, and making decisions in teams. Rather than offering country-specific protocol and customs, Negotiating Globally provides a general framework to help negotiators anticipate and manage cultural differences. This new edition incorporates the lessons of the latest research with new emphasis on executing a negotiation strategy and negotiating conflict in multicultural teams. The well-received chapter on “Government At and Around the Table” has been expanded and updated with new examples that span the globe. In this comprehensive resource, Jeanne M. Brett describes how to develop a negotiation planning document and shows how to execute the plan. She provides a model that explains how the cultural environment affects negotiators’ interests, priorities, and strategies. She provides benchmarks for distinguishing good deals from poor ones and good negotiators from poor ones. The book explains how resolving disputes is different from making deals and how negotiation strategy can be used in multicultural teams. Negotiating Globally challenges negotiators to expand their repertoire of strategies so that they will be able to close deals, resolve disputes, and get teams to make decisions.

Download or read book The Influence of Culture on International Negotiation Styles written by Locksley G. M. Henry and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of cultural diversity on international business negotiation continues to increase in importance as a result of globalization, liberalization of worldwide markets, and the growth of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Negotiating styles' options and choices are key factors in determining successful outcomes in cross-cultural negotiations. While much research has been conducted on the influence of cultural dimensions on international negotiation styles, the samples and comparative studies have focused mainly on developed regions of the world -- the United States of America, Europe, and Asia. This study focuses on the influence of selected cultural dimensions on the negotiating styles of the United States, and Jamaica -- a developing Caribbean territory. Previous research in this area was minimal or non-existent. The study engaged tertiary student respondents in both territories and adopted the GLOBE Leadership Scale instrument to measure the effect of six cultural dimensions on cultural practices and cultural values in both countries. Simultaneously, the Glaser and Glaser Negotiating Style instrument was used to measure five different style choices grounded in the Dual Concerns Theory. The findings suggest that US negotiators would demonstrate a higher concern for self than Jamaican negotiators while Jamaican negotiators would show a higher concern for others in the negotiating process. This was also supported by the finding that the higher collectivism culture of the Jamaicans has a significant positive influence on their compromising style approach. Another significant finding was on the gender egalitarian cultural construct which suggests that both the US and Jamaican negotiators would embrace the participation of a greater number of female negotiators in the future. The US would also be more accommodative in their negotiating style where greater gender equity prevails. Power distance as a cultural dimension was not significant on negotiating styles in both countries but it was encouraging to note that power distance gaps would be narrower in the future.

Download or read book The 4Ps Framework written by Yadvinder S. Rana and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a practical and innovative framework for negotiating deals and leading organizations in a multicultural business environment.The 4Ps Framework: Advanced Negotiation and Influence Strategies for Global Effectiveness is about becoming better negotiators and leaders in a global setting. The book is intended for managers, graduates, and business students who are already, or expect to be, negotiating and influencing across cultures.The rationale behind this book is the author's dissatisfaction with the current literature on international negotiation and influence. Present research in cross-cultural management, communication, negotiation, leadership, and influence, doesn't apply to real-world situations. And this is for seven main reasons:Reason 1: US bias in current research. More than 90% of research on negotiation and influence is based on less than 10% of humankind. Western, and above all US, ethnocentrism confines and biases our understanding of negotiation and influence elements and processes.Reason 2: Theories based on rational negotiators. Most negotiation and influence models are based on the expected utility theory, fabricated on negotiators acting as rational players, and game theory frameworks.Reason 3: The use of nations as units for studying cultures. Most cross-cultural negotiation and influence books still adopt the term culture as a synonym of nation. Nations are not the best entities for studying cultures. Geographic boundaries are often just artificial and unnatural divisions. Nationality and culture are connected, but any generalization must take into account within-nation variances. Reason 4: Abuse of the notion of culture in explaining international negotiation failures and cross-cultural communication misunderstandings. Many scholars agree that culture is just an artificial, abstract, and purely analytic concept. The problem is that culture is often adopted as a justification whenever differences in behavior among people from different parts of the globe must be explained. Reason 5: The concept of culture as a static framework. Current models discount cultural change over time, even though change is occurring rapidly in many countries (e.g., the fast move from collectivism to individualism in the major cities of emerging economies). Reason 6: Cross-cultural negotiation and influence theories based on questionable data. The use of data from simulations involving international managers enrolled in MBA programs in the United States raises an interesting question in cross-culture literature: Can these individuals be regarded as a relevant and illustrative sample of managerial behavior in different cultures? Reason 7: Concepts such as power, interests, and, above all, best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA) take on different implications in an international context. Understanding people's interests, other than money, is strategic because interests motivate individuals and affect their behavior. Interests differ from individual to individual, and they are strongly influenced by culture, context, and circumstances. Most of the negotiation literature focuses on the concept of BATNA, the best alternative each side has if no agreement can be reached between the parties. However, the concept of BATNA doesn't apply straightforwardly to complex international negotiations. Committing to only one course of action if the negotiation ends without an agreement could present a risk in multiparty, multidimensional, and unpredictable international negotiations held in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. A better strategy calls for identification of multiple feasible alternatives (MATNAs).
