The Palgrave Handbook of Cross-Cultural Business Negotiation cover

Global business management issues and concerns are complex, diverse, changing, and often intractable. Industry actors and policy makers alike rely upon partnerships and alliances for developing and growing sustainable business organizations and ventures. As a result, global business leaders must be well-versed in managing and leading multidimensional human relationships and business networks – requiring skill and expertise in conducting the negotiation processes that these entail. 

After laying out a foundation justifying the importance of studying negotiation in a global context, this book will detail conventional and contemporary theories regarding international engagement, culture, cultural difference, and cross-cultural interaction, with particular focus on their influence on negotiation. Building on these elements, the book will provide a broad array of country-specific chapters, each describing and analyzing the negotiation culture of businesspeople in a different country around the world. Finally, the book will look ahead, with an eye towards identifying and anticipating new trends and developments in the field of global negotiation.

This text will appeal to scholars and researchers in international business, cross-cultural studies, and conflict management who seek to understand the challenges of intercultural communication and negotiation. It will provide trainers and consultants with the insights they need to prepare their clients for intercultural negotiation. Finally, the text will appeal to businesspeople who find themselves heading out to engage with counterparts in another country, or operating in other multinational environments on a regular basis. 

“This book is a must-read for negotiation practitioners and academics in the field of negotiation, cross-cultural interaction, international business, and international relations. … this volume offers both theoretical and practical guidelines for negotiation instructors or scholars, teachers, and students with an interest in the fields of negotiation, cross-cultural negotiation, and cross-cultural management. Moreover, this volume provides managers with applied strategies for negotiating effectively with the counterpart in the global context.” (Renzhong Peng and Chongguang Zhu, International Journal of Communication, Vol. 14, 2020)
