摘要:
A study on conflict resolution strategies of Canadian and Chinese (Peoples Republic of China) executives was conducted. Responses to two types of joint project conflicts-task-related and person-related with potential partners from their own culture or from the other culture-were examined. Neither group of executives altered its strategy when negotiating across cultures. Chinese executives were more likely to avoid conflicts but recommended more negative strategies (discontinue negotiation; withdraw negotiation) when conflict emerged. Person-related conflicts were found to generate more negative responses than task-related conflicts, especially for Chinese executives. Both Canadian and Chinese executives preferred to negotiate with Canadians than with Chinese.
