( two) negotiating differences in decision makingChinese decision is usually a collective negotiation results, generally avoid personal decision. China 's negotiating team before the negotiations, negotiations and negotiation usually have to exchange views in order to coordinate the entire group actions. When the other proposal is beyond the scope of the representative when they also inform the superior, need to be submitted to their superiors agreed or collective discussion. In the United States, individuals can fully represent the company to make a decision, the U.S. sent negotiators usually have sufficient power, they can be within the scope of authority directly on the issue of negotiation decision. Different decision-making mechanism have their different reasons. Chinese culture belongs to the high power distance cultures, namely between person and person as experience, position, cultural level and other aspects of the different forms of vertical relationship on the lower level of type. China's negotiating group members can only handle affairs in their jurisdiction, the final decision is usually not to participate in the negotiations of the superior to. The United States of America culture belongs to the low power distance cultures. In the United States by the equal idea influence, the interpersonal relationship is generally horizontally state exchange, both sides is equal. The negotiators ask is horizontal ( equal ) business relationship. They are informal, equality, the orthodox business etiquette, courtesy, seating and other less attention. When negotiating the prominent role of individual, tend to specify an individual solely responsible for the negotiation, is responsible for the necessary decision and complete the necessary tasks, while exercising its corresponding right, within the limits of his authority to make the decision. ( three) to negotiate the goal differenceChinese negotiators paid special attention to the long-term friendly business relationship. For them. The negotiation process is to establish interpersonal process negotiation objectives more is to establish and develop a long-term relations of cooperation, signed contract represents the long-term mutually beneficial cooperation in the beginning. If negotiation failed to establish a relationship of trust transactions often ended in failure. Americans believe that the ultimate aim is to sign the contract negotiations to achieve economic benefits. In the United States, the signing of the contract was negotiated in primary and basic task. The value reflected the interests of. They each contract as a separate process. Unlike the Chinese as seriously as friendly and cooperative partnership, they pay more attention to the actual value realization. Chinese culture and the western culture collective orientation individualism is the difference of bilateral negotiations goal difference understanding key. Chinese culture is a typical collectivistic culture. The collective orientation of Chinese cultural influence, mutual dependence, mutual cooperation. " Relations" crucial people interdependent reach almost all must depend on the relationship. The Sino-US negotiation, on the relationship between the cultivation of natural is a reasonable thing. The United States belongs to typical individualism culture. Individualism is the core of American culture. So in Sino-US business negotiations, the United States negotiators pay more attention to the pursuit of the actual content, signed a contract to realization of individual interests and value target. Two, cultural differences on Sino-US business communication effects( a ) different values of China and AmericaThe Chinese nation and the United Nations and different national character they created a different outlook on life, values. The Chinese people pay attention to the collective consciousness, overall interest above all. When the individual interests and collective interests, when the conflict happens, the collective interests above personal interests. Americans on the contrary. As a result of the United States of America is a country of immigrants, they are today home is to rely on their own hands to create. Therefore, the Americans emphasize personal consciousness, pay attention to the individual value. Different values of China and America on business communication exerted an enormous influence. Especially in business negotiations. Chinese tend to national enterprises interests, and don't care about personal gains and losses. While the United States business workers in the company are interests at the same time, but also the pursuit of personal value maximization. In the face of you can not solve the problem, China business workers often have problems with Jing meeting discuss discussion; and the United States business workers will full of personal charm, and strive to use their own strength to solve the problem.( two) the difference of thinking patternChinese mode of thinking is the image, intuitive, comprehensive, the thinking mode of Americans is individual, abstract, unique. Chinese thinking is a kind of dialectical thinking, while Americans thinking is logical thinking. Chinese dialectical thinking embodied in a middle course, think that everything has measurable rationality. To the Chinese people," a middle course" after thousands of years of history, has been internalized into your character. And Chinese thinking different, American thinking is a kind of logical thinking. This kind of thinking emphasizes world is same, the contradiction and neutral.
Chinese decision is usually the result of collective negotiation, generally avoid personal decision. China's negotiating team before the negotiation, negotiated and negotiations will often exchanged again and again to coordinate the whole team's opinion action. When the other party proposal beyond the Chinese representative scope of authority when they also instruct the higher, the need to report to the superior leadership agree or collective discussion. In the United States, individuals can represent the company to make decision, the United States sent the negotiators usually have enough power, they can be in within the scope authorized by the direct negotiations to issues of making decisions. Different decision-making mechanism formation have their different reasons. Chinese culture belongs to the high power gap type culture, namely because experience between people, position, cultural level party
Ego—The ego is the largely unconscious part of personality that mediates the demands of the id, the superego, and reality. The ego prevents us from acting on our basic urges (created by the id), but also works to achieve a balance with our moral and idealistic standards (created by the superego). Id—The personality component made up of unconscious psychic energy that works to satisfy basic urges, needs, and desires. Superego—The component of personality composed of our internalized ideals that we have acquired from our parents and from society. The superego works to suppress the urges of the id and tries to make the ego behave morally, rather than realistically.
