career as a university instructor, academic administrator, and researcher has provided me with a unique perspective for commenting on the contribution made by a book on international and intercultural negotiations From this particular perspective, the Palgrave Handbook of Cross-Cultural Business Negotiation, edited by Mohammed Ayub Khan and Noam Ebner, is a coherent and comprehensive collection of readings on the ever-complex topic of international and multicultural negotiations The ample scope of the book provides the reader with perspectives garnered from both applied and theoretical approaches to negotiation This book covers topics directly related to central theories of multicultural negotiation, includes contributions from a very diverse group of writers, and emphasizes the importance of external and contextual factors affecting the many ways in which negotiation scenarios unfold and their outcomes take shape In the face of complex and emerging business and social environment phenomena, the usefulness of this book is beyond any doubt The theoretical chapters combined with applied discussions of multinational cross-cultural systems and negotiation provide conceptual frameworks and prescriptive answers to many of the situations that organizations and their leaders and influencers face when developing strategies to cope with exchange-driven external challenges Furthermore, the readings contained in this volume create a comprehensive package of applied knowledge and critical theory insight I consider the Palgrave Handbook of Cross-Cultural Business Negotiation a necessary addition to any university or private library The book also makes the perfect reading pack for any university course and company training program v vi Foreword in the fields of cross-cultural management and negotiation, providing both the learner and the instructor with a holistic view of the subject I recommend the book’s adoption not only to librarians but also to academics or practitioners interested in gaining a current and relevant perspective on multicultural negotiation You may rest assured that this set of readings provides you with the latest ideas and concepts in this field, and that it will expand your knowledge horizon of this fascinating discipline Tecnológico de Monterrey Monterrey, Mexico Salvador Trevino Martinez Preface As globalization has increasingly brought members of different cultures into contact with each other, the study of culture and negotiation has gained corresponding prominence since the 1980s Scholars have written numerous books and articles about the complexities of negotiating across cultures from various disciplines, ranging from context-rich, detailed descriptions of negotiations within a culture to comparative analyses of negotiation processes across cultures Although cross-cultural negotiation research continues to expand our understanding of culture’s influence on negotiation, it has evolved much more slowly than mainstream negotiation theory and research This book aims to help bridge that gap, even as it offers directions for future research This book offers readers three benefits: First, reading this book will improve your ability to negotiate successfully You and your company will be more affluent, and you will experience fewer sleepless nights anticipating an upcoming interaction, given that you will have a robust framework and a packed toolbox for negotiation success However, this promise comes with a caveat: Negotiation skills not develop through passive learning Instead, you will need to challenge yourself actively We believe that negotiation skills are transferable across situations In making this statement, we not mean to imply that all negotiation situations are identical; negotiation situations differ dramatically across people, cultures, and activities However, certain fundamental negotiation principles are essential across all these variables The knowledge and skills contained in this book are useful across a wide range of situations, ranging from sophisticated, multiparty, multicultural deals to one-on-one personal exchanges In summary, our model of learning is based on a three-phase cycle: Experiential learning, feedback, and learning new strategies and skills (Liu, 2015) vii viii Preface Additionally, this book offers an enlightened model of negotiation Being a successful negotiator does not depend on your opponent’s lack of familiarity with a book such as this one or lack of training in negotiation In fact, it would be ideal for you if your key clients and customers knew about these strategies This approach follows what we call a fraternal twin model, which assumes that the other person you are negotiating with is every bit as motivated, intelligent, and prepared as you are Thus, the negotiating strategies and techniques outlined in this book not rely on “outsmarting” or tricking the other party; instead, they teach you to focus on simultaneously expanding the pie of resources and ensuring the resources are allocated in a manner that is favorable to you While you might sometimes well by recognizing a particular lack of preparation on your counterpart’s side, you will usually be better off using your knowledge and understanding in order to help them participate well in the negotiation process Global business management issues and concerns are complex, diverse, changing, and often unmanageable Industry actors and policymakers alike need partnerships and alliances for developing and growing sustainable business organizations and ventures Therefore, global business leaders must be well versed in managing, in leading multidimensional human relationships, and in creating business networks Negotiation is key to all these processes As a historical panacea to human and business problems and conflicts, the importance of learning about the discipline of negotiation is rising both in academia and in industry Direct negotiation is, and has always been, the most effective method for resolving all forms of disputes and conflicts in human society, for forming beneficial deals, and for developing fruitful partnerships Setting history aside for a moment, consider these recent and current developments on the global stage and at the industry level: • • • • • • • • • • BREXIT Negotiation of multilateral agreements at the WTO Resolving complex historical and multidimensional disputes in the Middle East Managing and resolving nuclear conflicts between the West and Iran and North Korea The US’ intentions of renegotiating NAFTA, TPP, and TTIP The myriad negotiations of recent mergers and acquisitions in the industrial world The conflicts in Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan The recent calls for talks between Pakistan and India over Kashmir The South East China Sea dispute The Microsoft-Nokia Deal Preface ix • The Factory-Safety Agreements in Bangladesh • The AT&T and Time Warner merger Now, to add history back into the mix, consider that if instead of reviewing the present and the past five years for significant conflicts and deals in which negotiation played a major role, we had reviewed the past 20 years; the list would go on for pages and pages This indicates that the importance of negotiation for international business and global relations will only continue to grow We believe that all these developments on the global stage demand and require that leaders guiding such negotiations, and the many representatives actually sitting at the multiple tables involved in each process, possess an in- depth knowledge of the science and art of negotiation However, in today’s business environment, fundamental mastery of negotiation is only the first step Managers and leaders negotiating around the world require an advanced understanding of how negotiations unfold in a globalized world encompassing the diverse and complex issues facing humanity Actors at all levels of the modern firm find themselves interacting with counterparts from around the world, in a wide variety of contexts Negotiation counterparts might be located in different countries, and colleagues might be from, or on, different continents To be effective, negotiators must recognize, understand, and cope with the challenges of intercultural communication and negotiation Herein lies this book’s third, and unique, benefit There are many books discussing negotiation, some surveying various issues and others offering more complete operational models There are books that discuss cross-cultural negotiation in a general sense And, there are books of the “Negotiating in …” variety surveying negotiation tendencies of people from different countries This book is unique in combining all three of these It elaborates foundational elements of negotiation, addresses the theories and challenges associated with cross-cultural negotiation, and offers a wide range of countryspecific chapters dedicated to exploring how these issues and others play out in a wide variety of locales, the world over Rather than offering a single model of negotiation, claiming its applicability across regions and cultures (which many texts do, even though they have clearly been developed, and are most applicable in a developed Western setting), we’ve chosen to clarify basic elements of negotiation, pointing out that they apply differently in different settings After providing a set of guidelines and terminology for understanding differences across cultures, we’ve then applied these elements of negotiation at the local level The country chapters develop and implement, locally, issues discussed in the foundational section, making this book a comprehensive and useful reference book x Preface The book is unique in a number of other ways First, in the number of countries covered, and the wide range of geographies, regions, economies, developmental stages, and cultures they span The book covers 18 countries from all around the globe Second, it focuses on the business context Other texts not maintain this focus—discussing country cultures and behavioral tendencies in general or focusing on (or mixing in) exploration of negotiation patterns of diplomats or peace negotiators Third, it combines academic and practical elements The foundational section of the book provides a theoretical grounding from an academic perspective This is shored up locally and practically: locally, by introducing literature relating to each of the locales detailed in the country chapters, and practically by relating to each of these locales through the perspective of each country chapter author’s experience working in that country, offering local case studies, local business norms, and local negotiation dynamics that go beyond the literature and offer the reader a window into the actual practice of negotiation in that country Fourth, this book truly designs a web of knowledge, theory, and practice, given that it comprises the work of authors with diverse and impressive backgrounds in academia and practice, from a wide range of countries around the world Their backgrounds are varied, yet they all share deep and vast knowledge of local and international industry practices as well as experience with the rigors of academia developed in their work as teachers and researchers in areas of international business, management, and other disciplines Their work bridges the worlds of practice and academia through their participation in international academic and professional conferences and their engagement with the industrial world as consultants and trainers Fifth, and last, is that this book does not default to a Western perspective The editors each have roots in East and West, and the diversity of the country chapter authors is as global as the span of the countries they cover Our aim was to have a book that is as useful for someone traveling from East to West as it is from West to East, and from North to South as from South to North Of course, when we use terms such as “Global” to discuss the book, we not imply that we have surveyed every nationality, country, or culture in the world Nor we suggest that the countries we have included in the book are representative of the full global set in any way When we set out to create this book, we aimed to collect as many county chapters as possible in a given time frame, with the overall assumption that no country was inherently more important than any other In practice, we admit to being particularly excited when we were able to secure authors writing about countries which had hardly or never been examined from a negotiation perspective However, in the end, 550 Index D Dancing the
