13、l thousands of people visit foreign countries for work, studies, business, pleasure and a myriad other reasons. When someone moves to a new country it is extremely rare not to feel overwhelmed by the difficulties involved in carrying out tasks that at home one could do with confidence and relatively
14、 little difficulty. International business negotiation plays a more and more crucial role in todays business activities, and win-win principle has attracted more and more attention from many interest groups in the world. 1.1 Research Background With the constant development of the economic globaliza
15、tion, business contacts among nations get increasingly close. In particular, since Chinas accession to WTO, the economic cooperation between China and the West becomes more and more frequent. International business negotiation is one of the vital parts of business activities. All kinds of cross-cult
16、ural business negotiation play an important role in the social life as well as the economic life. Negotiators from different cultural backgrounds have different values and thinking patterns, thus forming the various communication styles. Consequently, it is necessary to learn the cultures among all
17、the countries and to get familiar with the cultural barrier in the business activities. Seeing from the surface， the international business negotiates is a technique to contest， in reality it is a kind of contesting culturally and hitting. I think, negotiate must bring the participating of persons b
18、y all means, the person participating and then bring the permeating of the subjective, and the permeating of the subjective come from his background of social culture and the culture accomplishment of his oneself accomplishment. 7 1.2 Aims and Significance of the Study The rapid development of econo
19、mic globalization and integration greatly facilitates the growing of international business. The success of international business activities begins with agreements reached between corporations. Thus reaching satisfactory agreements requires effective business negotiation. As a consequence, with the
20、 prosperity of international business, the practice of negotiating across borders has become more frequent and also more complex. Negotiation is a process involving dealings among persons, which are intended to result in an agreement. International negotiation involves people from different countrie
21、s who discuss common and conflicting interests for arriving at an agreement of mutual benefit. There are a variety of factors contributing to the result of international business negotiation, such as geographical distance, political situation, economic factors, foreign governments and cultural backg
22、rounds. Since all these factors are impossible to be exhaustive, this thesis will focus on the cultural dimension. Moreover, culture is not unconditionally stationary; it is evolving constantly over time, as people borrow and assimilate the artifacts, language, and ideas of other cultures. In the co
23、ntext of global economy, culture is being impacted tremendously by the increased opportunities for interaction between different cultural groups. Therefore, negotiators should be flexible when dealing with those from different cultures. As globalization develops further, many multinationals, interna
24、tional chains have appeared, as the company how to adapt to the local culture, as the employee how to overcome culture shock and communicate well in cross culture contexts are key issues. In addition, many students, officials go abroad for their studies or careers. 8 2 Literature Review In the secon
25、d chapter, it has three parts. The details are the definition of intercultural barrier, reverse shock of intercultural barrier, related studies of intercultural barrier. They are as follow: 2.1 Definition of Intercultural Barrier The term culture barrier, was introduced for the first time by Kalvero
26、 Oberg in 1958 to describe the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the lack of direction, the felling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. The feeling of culture
27、 barrier generally sets in after the first few weeks of coming to a new place. The Guidance Notes from the Council for International Education (2002), “culture barrier” concerns the impact of moving from a familiar culture to one which is unfamiliar. It is an experience described by people who have
28、traveled abroad to work, live or study; it can be felt to a certain extent even when abroad on holiday. It can affect anyone, including international students. It includes the barrier of a new environment, meeting lots of new people and learning the ways of a different country. It also includes the
29、barrier of being separated from the important people in ones life, maybe family, friends, colleagues, teachers, people he would normally talk to at times of uncertainty, people who give him support and guidance. When familiar sights, sounds, smell and tastes are no longer there one can miss them ver
30、y much. 2.2 Reverse Shock of Intercultural Barrier According to Scott Moreau in Evangelical Dictionary of World (2000), reverse 9 culture shock is the psychological, emotional, and even spiritual adjustment of missionaries who return to their home culture after having adjusted to a new culture. This
31、 shock is parallel to the culture shock experienced in initial adjustment to the mission field, but may be even more difficult be even more difficult because it can hit so unexpectedly. Also referred to as reentry shock, adjustment is necessary because both the missionary and the home culture have c
32、hanged while the missionary was away. In addition, the home culture may have been idealized in the missionarys mind and no longer fits his expectations. Reentry (in the course of Cross-cultural Reentry From Study Abroad) (2002) is a process that occurs when a person leaves his or her social system f
33、or an extended period of time and then attempts to reenter the social system. Cross-cultural reentry describes the re-adaptation of an individual to the home culture after an extended stay in a foreign culture. The process of reentry is a period of evaluation of and reflection on the experiences enc
34、ountered overseas. The process contains positive and negative aspects as the returning sojourner becomes aware of changes in his or her self-concept, attempts to interpret experiences and changes to others, and incorporates experiences into his or her daily life. 2.3 Related Studies of Intercultural
35、 Barrier In China, since the introduction of cross-cultural communication from the western country in the 1980s, the investigators have made a lot progress. In 1985, FeiXiaotong (费孝通 ) studies culture differences between Chinese and American. In 1989 and 1990, ShaXianglian(莎香莲 ) collected many data
36、to analyze the national character. Her group spend a lot of money and time on the self-awareness and behavior tropism of Chinese. In 1995, the conference about cross-cultural communication was hold in Ha er bin, In 1996, LinDajin( 林大津 ) published Study about Cross Culture 10 Communication, in which
37、he talks about the problem arising from the communication between different cultural backgrounds. In 1997, JiaYuxin(贾玉新 ) introduced the development, the tendency of cross-cultural communication. In 1999, Hu Wen zhong(胡文仲 )gave many cases to illustrate the collision, and amalgamation of western and
38、eastern cultures. In 2004, Cross-Cultural Communication conference was held again in BeiJing to study the famous works and theories in the world. Up and now, it has been found out through research that there is no special works and articles in China about culture shock. Even if people have made some
39、 progress in cross-cultural communication, most of the research in this field is too general and we lack of profound detailed investigation of data and samples related to the topic. In china, most studies are conducted by English teachers. In fact, it involves many fields such as psychology, anthropology and sociology. It needs attention from other related fields. On the part of language learners, how to build the cultural awareness in the process of language learning should be language trainers focus.
