"Negotiating the Business Deal in China"
F. Joseph Diab
December 14, 2010
An excerpt:
"The primary reason that Western negotiators fail in China is their failure to understand the culture and its influence on Chinese negotiators.
While much can be said about China’s long history and recent economic rise, no one could defensibly assert that China is currently or has historically been home to the 'land of plenty' or the 'land of opportunity.' Much of the history of China has been the history of scarcity in which large segments of the population have grown accustomed to not having enough of many basic necessities with which many Western societies have become quite familiar, such as food, money, freedom or opportunity. In the current Chinese economy, two-thirds of the population still live in an agrarian, rural environment and depend upon harvesting rice or wheat in a traditional, communal environment. Survival depends upon group cooperation and harmony. Loyalty, obedience and hierarchy hold the group together."
