Surprisingly, competing was the only conflict management style that consistently predicted high negotiation outcomes (individual profits for Canadian sample and satisfaction for Chinese sample) in both Canada and China, contrary to the expectation that competing would be very effective in Canada but not in China in conflict resolving situation like business negotiation. The results suggested that competing style, i.e. assertive and uncooperative, might be effective even when dealing with the people from Eastern cultures, such as the Chinese.
