Business negotiations between the Romanians and the Japanese
- A cross-cultural perspective -
SYNERGY volume 8, no. 2/2012
136
Thus, this present article aims to develop an understanding about Japanese and
Romanian cultures alike by analyzing some of the cultural dimensions provided by
Edward. T Hall (1959), Geert Hofstede (2005) and Brooks Peterson (2004) and
ventures an opinion on whether these ‘stipulated’ opinions are still up-to-date to
today’s reality. In the second part, the article attempts to sketch the profile of a
typical Japanese/ Romanian negotiator and to discover the main causes of potential
conflicts between the representatives of the two countries. The empirical research
adopted for this section was a qualitative survey, with data being gathered via
professional interpreters, who were asked about their first-hand experience during
negotiations between Romanians and Japanese businesspeople. The final part
follows a case-study of a failed negotiation between two teams, Romanian and
Japanese, with the main reasons for the breakdown in communication. Finally, the
conclusions will be presented.
