國際商業(yè)和跨文化交流(International business and cross cultural)

　　the increase in international business and in foreign investment has

　　created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and

　　skills in cross-cultural communication. americans, however, have not been

　　well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same

　　level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their

　　foreign counterparts.

　　negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose

　　of reaching an agreement. it involves persuasion and compromise, but in

　　order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the

　　ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within

　　the culture of the negotiation.

　　in many international business negotiations abroad, americans are perceived

　　as wealthy and impersonal. it often appears to the foreign

　　negotiator that the american represents a large multi-million-dollar

　　corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further.

　　the american negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal purveyor of

　　information and cash.

　　in studies of american negotiators abroad, several traits have been

　　identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while

　　undermining the negotiator's position. two traits in particular that cause

　　cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part

　　of the american negotiator. furthermore, american negotiators

　　often insist on realizing short-term goals. foreign negotiators, on the

　　other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and

　　may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. in order to

　　solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions

　　without regard for the time

　　involved in getting to know the other negotiator.

　　clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of

　　negotiations and the success of negotiators. for americans to play a

　　more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put

　　forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

　　"際商業(yè)和跨文化交流"英語作文譯文:

　　國際貿(mào)易和海外投資的增加產(chǎn)生了對具有外語知識和跨文化交 流技巧的經(jīng)理的需求。

　　然而，美國人在這兩方面未得到良好的訓練，因此沒有在國際談判 中象他們的外國對手一樣成功。 談判是為了達成協(xié)議而反復交流的過程。 它包括說服和妥 協(xié)。

　　但是為了去進行說服和妥協(xié)，談判者必須懂得在談判的文化中怎樣說服人和怎樣達成 妥協(xié)。 在國外的國際商務談判中，美國人被視為富有和不帶個人情感。

　　在外國談判者看來， 似乎美國人代表著一個龐大的擁有數(shù)百萬資財?shù)拇笃髽I(yè)，不用進一步地討價還價就能出得起 價錢。

　　美國談判者的角色變成了一個沒有個人感情的信息及現(xiàn)金的供應者。 對在國外的美

　　國談判者的研究中，我們找出了損害談判者能力的幾個特點，或許證實這個已成定式的看法。 尤其引起跨文化誤解的兩個特點是美國談判者的直截了當和缺乏耐心。

　　此外，美國談判者 經(jīng)常堅持實現(xiàn)短期目標，而外國的談判者會珍視建立談判者之間的聯(lián)系并愿意為長期利益投 入時間。

　　為了鞏固這種聯(lián)系，他們會選擇非直接的交流而不計較投入用于了解對方的時間。 明顯地，價值觀的不同和理解上的差異影響了談判的結(jié)果和談判者的成功與否。

　　美國人要 在國際商務談判中扮演更為有效的角色，他們就必須投入更多的努力提高跨文化的理解力。
