Today on The Weekly Walkaway Deep Dive, we focus on the complexities of cross-cultural negotiation, based on our article from the Weekly Walkaway below:
The importance of understanding different cultural norms regarding personal space and communication styles to avoid misinterpretations and power imbalances is essential when negotiating across different cultures.
You need to prepare thoroughly, and be mindful of your own unconscious biases.
As always you must also ensure you observe clusters of Behaviour, eyes, voice, and body and whether they are incongruent with what is being said. but especially when you are interacting with people from various cultural backgrounds.
Additionally, we touch on current challenges in European food retail negotiations due to inflation, emphasising the need for negotiators to be adaptable to changing market conditions and relationships.
Ultimately, effective negotiation requires cultural awareness, preparation, and the ability to adjust your approach.
