17、ctionSince China entered into the WTO, its economy and trade with countries around the world have been increasing rapidly. So negotiation plays an important role in the socio-economic life. International business negotiation is not only the exchange and cooperation of economy, but also the exchange

18、and communication of culture. However, the most important factor is culture. Thus people begin to pay much attention to cultural conflicts in cross-cultural communication. Nowadays, the United States is the leader of economy in the world. It is also one of the most important trading partners of Chin

19、a. But the cultural differences between China and the United States have a huge impact on the negotiations which can not proceed smoothly. So we need to have a correct understanding of cultures in different countries and regions, and develop a reasonable strategy for negotiation to avoid the conflic

20、ts. Therefore, it is necessary for us to research the impacts of cultural differences on Sino-U.S. business negotiation. The research about the impacts of cultural differences on Sino-U.S. business negotiation was mainly put forward by the scholars in North American, particularly in France, Netherla

21、nds, Sweden, Argentina and Russia. In the 1990s, the study had focused on several issues: the impact of culture on the negotiation process and result, relations between culture and the situation of negotiations, the actual recommendations for professionals and questions on research and methodology.

22、In resent years, the study for international business negotiations has been extended to China and Nepal. However, there are huge cultural differences between China and the United States, and culture is one of the most important factors in international business negotiations, so the research will con

23、tinue to develop in the future.1 A Survey of Sino-U.S Business Negotiation1.1 Negotiation and cultureNegotiation is a special communication task. It occurs when two or more parties have common interests and therefore have a reason to work together, who also have conflicts about their goals and how t

24、o accomplish them. Negotiation is the communication that takes place in order to reach agreement about how to handle both common and conflicting interests between two or more parties.International business negotiation refers to two different parties discussing on business affairs. In fact, business

25、negotiation is not only the cooperation and exchange of economic benefits, but also is the collision and communication of different cultures. International business negotiation is influenced by the respective country, the nations politics, economy, culture and other variety of factors. However, cult

26、ure is the most difficult factor to grasp. Culture is an abstract concept, involving the various aspects of human life. It includes beliefs, knowledge, arts, customs, morals and various aspects of social life. People learn culture in the course of everyday living by communicating with those around t

27、hem. Learning culture starts at an early age and generally stays with people for the whole of their lives. In turn, people transmit culture to others, especially for their offspring, through direct instruction and the behaviors they consciously and unconsciously encourage and discourage. Cultural di

28、fferences mean that different countries, regions and ethnic groups have many differences in history, politics, economy, cultural tradition and custom. International business negotiation is not only a cross-border negotiation, but also is a cross-cultural negotiation. Negotiators from different count

29、ries have different social, cultural, economic, political backgrounds. Thus cultural differences exist objectively in international business negotiations. The huge cultural differences between two countries may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings and make them lose the opportunities to succeed

30、in negotiations. Therefore, the negotiations may proceed smoothly if the negotiators have a correct understanding of cultural differences and overcome the barrier of cultural differences in international business negotiations. 1.2 Present situation of Sino-U.S. business negotiationsThe formal establ

31、ishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States began in 1979. Sino-U.S. economic and trade relations have normalized since 1979. Looking back to more than 20-years development, though there are many frictions and disputes in trade between the two countries, we can see that the t

32、rade between them is still developing very fast. According to the statistics of Chinese customs, the total amount of Sino-U.S. bilateral trade was 2.45 billion dollars in 1979. And the total amount of Sino-U.S. bilateral trade was 80.48 billion dollars in 2001. The later is 32.8 times than the forme

33、r. The average annual growth rate is more than 17.2%. The United States is the principal founding member of APEC and WTO. China was not accepted by APEC until 1991 and officially became a member of WTO on December 11, 2001. At present, China and American are considered as two important member countr

34、ies in the economic organization. They have an extremely important influence on the treatment of international economic affairs.From the present situation now, the United States is the largest export market in the world, the largest trade surplus original country, the second largest foreign direct i

35、nvestment country and Chinas second largest trading partner. According to the statistics of the Department of Commerce in United States, China is the second largest trade deficit original country and Americas the fourth largest trading partner and the twelfth largest export market in the world in 19

36、99. This shows that the economic and trade relationship between China and United States plays an important role in both of their trade development.At the present time, the government of China has taken a number of measures to promote the development of the business activities in order to increase th

37、e international competitiveness. Some Chinese entrepreneurs who have potential ability are also trying to enter the international market. The economic relations between China and the United States are becoming closer than before, thus, China has become one of Americas largest trading partners. As th

38、e economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries are getting more frequent than before, so the business negotiations between the two countries are increasing.2. The Impact of Cultural Differences on Sino-U.S. Business NegotiationThe Chinese culture is the typical collectivism culture. The

39、 Chinese cultures collective orientation and the Confucian theory have the inalienable relation. The Confucian thoughts take “benevolence” and “ceremony” as the center. “Benevolence” refers to the will of the people. It is the core of the Confucianism. Its aim is about how to deal with interpersonal

40、 relationships, so as to achieve harmony. A person must bring himself into collectiveness to achieve “benevolence”. “Ceremony” is the ruler of the behavior, is the criterion of peoples social behavior.Peoples seeing and hearing, words and deeds shall be in conformity with etiquette in order to make

41、the society harmony. Influenced by the collective orientation culture, the Chinese people cooperate mutually and depend on one another. So “relation” is of importance in their view. People depend on “relation” when dealing with almost everything. The United States belongs to the typical individualis

42、m culture. The individualism is the core of American culture. The United States individualism has close relationship with its faith. What the western Christianity emphasizes is the individual, so the Christian claim to sacrifice for the individual. In the doxy of the Christianity, everyone faces to

43、the God individually and directly. The persistent pursuit of the individual soul and the struggle for new life is the core of Christianitys doxy. In the United States, the individualism began to lie embedded in peoples mind after the European immigrants set foot on the continent of North America. Pr

44、otestantism is the historical root of the individualism. After that, the American Revolution, the Westward Movement, the Industrial Revolution and many movements of migration strengthened this tradition of individualism. It can be said that the individualism is embodied in all aspects of American li

45、fe. It is embodied in both the American history and the contemporary society of the United States.2.1 Verbal and nonverbal differences in Sino-U.S. business negotiations2.1.1 Verbal differencesThe language of one nation has a close connection with the nations culture. In cross-cultural communication

46、, the languages for negotiating are restricted by the differences of different cultures. The United States is a typical low-context language country. In this culture, the majority of information is transmitted by clear and specific language. The U.S. negotiators prefer to use clear, frank and direct

47、 ways to communicate; they try to speak clearly rather than ambiguous. In addition, Americans like to debate with others, they often speak in an opposed and drastic tone. These are the typical characteristics of the offspring of European immigrants.However, China is a nation with high-context culture. In the high-context culture, non-verbal communication and indirect ways are the important factors for people to transmit and understand the i
