I. Introduction
With the development of international trades, commercial negotiation between China and the US has become increasingly frequent. To make bilateral negotiations more fluent, a research on Sino-American cultural differences is very necessary. In business negotiations, the two sides need to enhance sensitivity to differences of culture such as the different values between the two nations, negotiating styles, negotiation strategies in order to achieve a double-win agreement. Studying the influence of Sino-US cultural differences on international business negotiations is helpful to promote the development of China’s foreign trade.
Researches on the impact of cultural differences on international business negotiations have already been done by many scholars. Wang Qingnan(185)analyzed the influences of cultural differences on international commercial negotiations and proposed some countermeasures. Wang Tengning(46)studied the influences of Sino-Western cultural differences on business negotiations. Lin Hai(110)explored the influence of cultural differences on Sino-US business negotiations. Liu Yuan(8)conducted a research on the cultural obstacles in international business negotiations and its countermeasures, and so on. However, these studies are not systematic and deep-going enough. Therefore, the author attempts to conduct a comprehensive study on the influences of cultural differences on Sino-US business negotiations and then put forward some specific countermeasures, so as to help reduce misunderstandings in international business negotiations. 论中美文化差异对国际商务谈判的影响:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_33677.html
