Introduction A. BackgroundFrom 1978, China began to carry out reform

9、 and opening policy. It made the Chinese communication with other countries grow day by day. As Chinas economy develops further, especially after the countrys entrance into the WTO, Chinese corporations and units are playing an increasingly important role in international business. Any person, who i

10、s engaged in the international business activities, should be familiar with the business negotiations. They will negotiate to buy, to sell, to conclude contracts with suppliers, to fix the staff salaries and so on. In a sense, business life is a permanent negotiation with others who are defending th

11、eir own interests. Therefore, the topic of international business negotiation has received much attention in recent years. B. Functions of the Good First ImpressionAs one of the key elements in international trade, international business negotiations are significant to the micro benefits of enterpri

12、ses and macro benefits of the country. Moreover, the first impression is the indispensable step of negotiation. Good first impression is the key of negotiation, and it can lead to the success of negotiation. Therefore, people must pay much attention to it, especially when people engage in internatio

13、nal business negotiation. A good first impression needs the several basic elements in international business negotiation.IIThe Essentials of Establishing a Good First Impression in International Business NegotiationA. The Qualities of Business NegotiatorsFirstly, the negotiators must be faithful in

14、their duties. The international business negotiation participants do not only represent the organization economic interest, and undertake to maintain state interest obligation. So observing discipline and abiding by the law, being honest in performing ones official duties, being loyal to state and o

15、rganization are negotiators obligation. Those are the essential condition of negotiation participants. Secondly, they must own the idea of equality and mutual benefit in the business negotiation. Thirdly, they must have team spirit. The widespread belief in strength in numbers suggests that having m

16、ore players on the team should be an advantage, not a burden. Teamwork at the negotiation table has several advantages. First, negotiating teams can create new opportunities for integrative solutions. Some researchers compared three types of negotiations: teams versus teams, teams versus solo negoti

17、ators, and solo negotiators versus solo negotiators. The presence of at least one team at the bargaining table leads to higher joint gains. Teams stimulate more discussion and more information sharing than individuals do particularly issues concerned interests and priorities. Team members also feel

18、more powerful and advantageous than solo negotiators. Even under highly stressful situations, as they are accountable to constituents, team negotiators feel less competitive and experience and less pressure than solo negotiators do, with greater number comes a sense of security. However, teams whose

19、 members have not worked together before they are unable to collect information and fail to solve a problem. Team members who are less familiar with one another lack the reestablished group norms needed when engaged in high-level problem solving. In contrast, teams made up of individuals who are fam

20、iliar with one another have little difficulty collecting particular information and effectively solving the same problem. Familiarity with one another allows team members to share divergent information and engage in the constructive conflict necessary to find a solution. Clearly, teams can be an eff

21、ective presence at the negotiation tablebut only if team members are able to uncover, leverage, and efficiently coordinate their diverse abilities. In addition to the qualities of ideology, the negotiators must have steady professional knowledge and a good psychology quality. Owning those derives fr

22、om serious and overall preparation.B. The Necessary Preparations Before Negotiation “Preparation will lead to success, but lack of preparation will result in failure.” (刘园，2004) To a large extent, the good preparation before a negotiation will determine a smooth process and a contrast that is benefi

23、cial to your own party. In addition to information preparation and targets of the negotiation, the overall negotiation scheme is initiated in the preparatory phase. The overall plan is made according to collecting the information and specification of goals and targets of the negotiation. In addition

24、, it includes speciation of the minimum acceptability of various trade conditions in advance and a mock negotiation. What should negotiators prepare for better teamwork?The key to taking a team approach to negotiation is the understanding about how teams work. According to Elizabeth A. Mannix, (Eliz

25、abeth A. Mannix is professor of management and organizations at Cornell Universitys Johnson Graduate School of Management. Her research and teaching focus on negotiation in teams, the performance of diverse groups, coalitions, power and alliances, and knowledge sharing in teams.) “With thorough prep

26、aration, you can ensure your team negotiations run smoothly. Creating a true team environment requires a great deal of preparation, coordination, and internal negotiation before you even meet the other side. Then, much like a perfect golf swing, the negotiation itself becomes all follow-through.” So

27、me executives protest that too much preparation crowds out creativity. Actually, the opposite is more likely to be true. Randall Peterson ( Randall S. Peterson is Professor of Organizational Behavior at London Business School. He teaches executive and MBA classes on leading teams and organizations,

28、high performance teams, leadership assessment and interpersonal skill development.) of the London Business School, and Kristin Behfar (Kristin Behfar is an assistant professor of organizational behavior.) of Northwesterns Kellogg School of Management have found that the most adaptive teams are those

29、 that often meet and work intensely to develop effective methods to face and resolve their conflicts. The deep knowledge acquired through preparation is likely to result in greater flexibility and creativity at the bargaining table. Suppose one team member has strong analytic skills, and another has

30、 vast technical and industrial knowledge, and a third has strong relationship-building skills. These ingredients should be combined to form a formidable team. However, if members disagree on the key issues, such as when to make concessions, they are unlikely to take advantage of their differing skil

31、ls. According to Professor Roy Lewicki (Roy Lewicki is a professor of Ohio State Universitys Fisher College of Business.), when a deal is very important, negotiators should spend at least twice as much time on preparation as that devoted to the negotiation itself. One team member should facilitate t

32、he preparatory meeting and another should serve as secretary, taking notes for later distribution to all team members. A bad team does not only give the other party a bad first impression, but also gives some chances to attract to the other party. Therefore, team spirit is very important for the fir

33、st impression. And being familiar with etiquettes and formalities in international business negotiation is also very important for negotiators. It is good for establishing a good first impression.C. Being Familiar with Etiquettes and Formalities in International Business NegotiationIn business negot

34、iations, especially negotiations with foreign business people, knowing necessary etiquettes and formalities is the basic quality with which the negotiator should be equipped. To learn and be able to practice the usual etiquettes and protocol in business negotiation including dress code, etiquette fo

35、r greeting and seeing-off, hands-shaking, conversation, introducing, wining and dining and gift-sending and agreement-signing and so on.First of all, dress should be neat trimness, and it must correspond to the international business negotiation etiquettes. Secondly, welcome and sending-off etiquett

36、e are also very important in international business negotiation. Welcome is the beginning of business negotiation etiquettes. Moreover, it concerns the atmosphere of the negotiation. And it is also the key of forming first impression. How to welcome and sending-off, which do them according to the ot

37、her partys position, status and the relation with our party and so on. Thirdly, how to introduce oneself and other people to the other party in international business negotiation. Knowing the introduction etiquettes will give a good impression to other people.Fourthly, handshake must be proper in bu

38、siness negotiation. Generally speaking initiatively shake hands with the other party, which express friendliness, appreciation or respect. Handshake must use the right hand. The time of handshake cannot be too long or too short. It must be proper, from 3 second to 5 second.D. Paying Attention to the

39、 Influences of CultureThe business negotiation is not only communication and cooperation between the two parties based on their own economic benefits, but also collision and communication between different cultures. It is particularly true when international business negotiations take place between

40、different countries or different nationalities. The international business negotiation is affected by politic, economic, culture and other factors in each country, and the cultural factor is the most difficult to control, which result from different negotiation styles of business people from various

41、 countries or areas. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the cultural factor in international business negotiation and to know further negotiation styles of business in various places.Because of various history traditions, political systems, economical conditions, cultural contexts, manners and c

42、ustoms as well as value ideas have obvious difference; therefore, the various countries negotiations form the different style of negotiation in the business negotiation. The negotiation styles mainly refer to using the conversation manner, handling the characteristic matters and customs and hobbies,

43、 owing to the different cultural contexts, countries, and the style of negotiation is also different. The language and the non- language behavior, the manners and customs, the thought difference, the values, interpersonal relationship is the big difference. For example, Americans have extroversion,

44、at will disposition. Some experts who study Americans disposition as their character as: extroversion, frank, sincere, straight-forward, warm, self-confident, speaking incessantly, humorous, pursuing the actual benefit and so on.American negotiation personnel always have extreme self-confidence and

45、the in born feeling of superiority. They always come into the negotiation conference with enough self-confidence, and propose their own rights and interest. They do not often pay attention to the other party. Moreover, their language expression is frank and they like playing a joke. They handle agil

46、ely the matters, and do not capture the circle. They think highly of the efficiency and like fighting a quick battle to force a quick decision. The idea of law is deep-rooted in their mind and the attorney plays an important role in the negotiation. They like doing overall balances“ the package deal” in the negotiation plan. American merchants not only pay attention to the quality of the commodity, but also attach importance to the packing of the commodity, etc.Besides, the negotiators must know the partys customs a
