NEGOTIATION STYLES AND COMMUNICATION

Assignment Overview

 Pack Your Bags: We Are Going Global!

Interpersonal communication has a direct effect on communications in general, and also at the negotiating table. That communication becomes even more important when negotiations include colleagues from different cultures. Cultural differences can create communication barriers; make it more difficult to interpret each other’s behaviors/nonverbal communications; and also influence both the form and the substance of bargaining. Therefore, let’s examine some of the personal and communication styles of various cultures.

Read the following article that takes us on a comparative journey between the West, the Latin countries, East Asia, and Middle East/South Asia, and how certain negotiation aspects are perceived respectively:

Using this information, as well as some additional research in peer-reviewed sources, complete your Case assignment. Pay special attention to the personal styles and preferences between the four cultural groups covered within the background article.

How would you concisely summarize each of the negotiation styles and preferences of cultural groups discussed therein?

What specific personality attributes should you be aware of in each cultural group?

If you were to negotiate/bargain with colleagues from one of the cultural groups presented in the article, what practical points should you be sure to put into practice?

NEGOTIATION STYLES AND COMMUNICATION

In the background readings, it was noted that personality and communication styles influence how we approach and carry out negotiations. How much do you know about your own personality and communication style, and how can this influence your participation in negotiations? Please take a few minutes to complete the free abbreviated Myers-Briggs personality test (using the link below – do this first!), then watch the video lecture about personality and negotiating. Take some notes, and then reflect upon that information to complete your assignment.

When taking the personality test, read the questions carefully, and react without putting too much thought into the answers. It should take you approximately six minutes to complete the test.

What advantages/disadvantages would you have in coming to the negotiation table?

What potential mistakes could having this information help you to prevent?
