Cross-cultural business negotiations are an important part of international business. Much business has been lost overseas due to miscalculations caused by cultural differences. Negotiating is a lengthy, difficult process by itself; but, when one adds the cultural aspect it becomes extremely intricate. Cross-cultural negotiation skills can be improved by adequate attention to details and a better understanding of the cultural heritage of the other side. This work examines cross-cultural negotiations from the point of view of a practitioner, and provides country profiles with advice on how to best negotiate with people from those countries. International business negotiations are made more difficult by problems of communications and culture. In order to conduct business outside of one's native culture, it is necessary to understand the style and intent of the business partners, and to learn to deal with culturally based differences. In addition, communciations are conducted verbally and non-verbally; therefore, it is not just a problem of language barriers. The authors show those involved in international business how to conduct their business communications successfully by seeing what is important about the transactions through eyes of another culture. The authors are widely experienced in cultures other than that of the United States. Having lived and worked in many parts of the world in addition to the United States, the authors advise business professionals and business academicians in this work.
Why a book on guerrilla deal-making? Because people envy those who
are more powerful than they are. They want to bring the big dog
down to their own level. If they succeed, they'll feel better about
themselves. That's why Jay Conrad Levinson's guerrilla books have
sold over 30 million copies--Jay doesn't just promise to empower
small businessmen, he actually becomes the wind beneath their
wings. It's a natural Empowerment How to get powerful people--big
dogs--to do what you--the small guerrilla--want them to do Your
impossible dream--actually controlling big dogs--seems within your
reach. (A lot better than just catching their attention.) So
millions of people buy Jay's books. And when they're in serious
negotiations with big dogs, they'll buy "Guerrilla Deal-Making"
Written especially for current and aspiring marketing managers and executives, this book discusses the avoidable marketing failure. Hendon argues that many so-called product failures could have been avoided and that certain error patterns continually recur in many marketing situations. He exposes these patterns through the use of numerous case study examples so that the reader can learn from the mistakes of others rather than from personal experience with an avoidable product failure. Hendon shares a wealth of information from his experiences as a teacher and consultant in this very interesting and useful work. Organizing his presentation around factors of the marketing setting and marketing-decision variables, he describes the potential problem areas and possible mistakes that can be made in product marketing. In essence, the book is about how to avoid marketing failures and how to minimize damage once a mistake is recognized. Reader interest level is kept high by the use of more than 500 examples of marketing failures from all over the world. The book is comprehensive in that virtually all areas of marketing decision making are covered. Highly recommended. "Choice" Written especially for current and aspiring marketing managers and executives, this book discusses the avoidable marketing failure. Hendon, a professional marketer, consultant, and teacher, argues that many so-called product failures could have been avoided and that certain error patterns continually recur in many marketing situations. His aim is to expose these patterns through the use of numerous case study examples so that readers will learn from the mistakes of others rather than from personal experience with an avoidable product failure. Hendon covers more than 60 categories of marketing mistakes and includes numerous examples, making this a comprehensive, practical, and eminently useful handbook for both students and practicing marketers. In addition to documenting examples of marketing failures from around the world, Hendon discusses preventive measures that could have been taken to rectify the various situations under study. He also addresses planning procedures that should be used in both domestic and foreign marketing--such as fully researching alternative meanings for product names in foreign languages--to avoid the disastrous results amply illustrated throughout the volume. Among the specific types of marketing mistakes examined in-depth are those involving the marketing setting--customers, competitors, the marketing environment, disasters and safety, and those involving marketing tools. Here, common mistakes made in product launches, pricing, the choice of distribution channels, advertising, and personal sales are each treated in turn.
