Abstract

Culture is a very important factor that has impacts on international negotiation. Cultural differences may cause a great number of problems when negotiating across borders, especially when the United States and Japanese, the typical examples of the western culture and eastern one, meet together at the negotiating table. People from different cultures prefer to use different negotiating strategies and styles.
