Research the French culture
o Globe project: French



Cultural variables in the communications
process
o Human orientation : LOW
o Power distance: HIGH
o Leadership style
 Participative style : MIDDLE
 The performance-oriented style (called “charismatic/valuebased”) : HIGH




English/French translator



Kinesis behaviors: Elizabeth should study their kinesis
behavior patterns and follow what they do.



“The French tend to regard authority as residing in the role and
not in the person. It is by the power of the position that a
French manager gets things done”.



French= high contact culture (speak their opinions loudly
and face-to-face with one another which show their authority).




Roles: “The French place more emphasis on the person who
can adapt to any situation by virtue of intellectual quality”.



Proxemics: In French= Authority is positioned in the middle of
his/her subordinates to gain control and be informed. She can
place herself in the middle.

What should Elizabeth know about
high-context vs low-context cultures in
Europe?


Low Context Culture
People are more direct; communication is more about
exchanging information, ideas and opinions which they did
not care much about nonverbal communication.
 North Americans, Asians and Northern Europeans.
 Distant style of body language.

 Invasion of intimate space.
 Decisions are based on facts rather then intuition.
 Communicators are straightforward, concise and efficient
in telling what action is expected.

‣ High Context Culture

Tend to emphasis interpersonal relationship as they think that
developing trust is very important for business transaction.
Words might be not that important for and they would
combine verbal and nonverbal communication.
 South Americans, Southern and Eastern Europeans,
Indonesians and Arabs
 Prefer to stand close
 Developing trust is important in business relations
 Words are not as important as context

Cultural Types

What should Elizabeth include in her report and what should

be the manner in which it is communicated, so that the
future executives and scientist avoid communication pitfalls?






“Share” her experiences instead of criticize
French managers view their work as intellectual
challenge… require application of individual brainpower
Developing cultural sensitivity
• When acting as a sender a manager must make it a point to know the
receiver and to encode the message in a form that will most likely be
understood as intended. This requires awareness of his or her own cultural
baggage and how it affects the communication process.



Careful Encoding






In translating his or her intended meaning into symbols for cross cultural
communication the sender must use words, pictures or gestures that are
appropriate to the receiver’s frame of reference.
Language translation is only part of the encoding process; the message also

Proxemics


Deals with the influence of proximity and space on communication with both
personal space and office lay out.



Highlight the main issue that might be faced in
other country, plus some way to solve.
Main Issue:

Expectation
s – of “ours
and theirs”

language in corporate communication?


Technical language vs Everyday language



Technical language – written oral communication with specialized content
Jargon – when there is abbreviation and complex words of communication
that only a certain group can understand
Everyday language - language that is communicated and understood to the
average person
Assumptions – the communication is much more clear as it is an everyday
communication strategy that allows for the common person to understand
According to the case study, the French can more about a person being able
to adapt to any situation by virtue of his intellectual quality
Elizabeth seemed to have not been worried about communicating to the
French as she said that the main communication for business English
Corporate communication can consist of mainly technical to get to the point
of the communication, knowing that the people they are communicating with
have the knowledge necessary to understand what they are talking about.
• Get to the point
• Have more affective reports and meetings















Corporation and everyday language are included in their
communication
 Not as effective when it comes down to corporate meetings
 Not as effective in communicating through reports
 Waste a lot of space of communicating

Technical language vs

Everyday language



To communicate specifically

Usually more general situation



Ex) Executive meeting for Ex) Company’s Annual General
Research Analysis and FinancialMeeting for all employees
Presentation

Examples of Technical language and business idioms;
1. (to) pull the plug
To put a stop to a project or initiative, usually because it’s not going well.
2. Yes man
An employee who always agrees with the boss or does whatever the boss
says
3. (to) face the music
To admit that there’s a problem; to deal with an unpleasant situation
realistically

Chapter 5:
Cross-cultural Negotiation
and Decision Making
Azri 122121014

Negotiation



The process of discussion by which two or
more parties aim for mutually acceptable
agreement

Stakeholders in Cross-cultural
Negotiation

The Negotiation Process

Stage One: Preparation
Develop profiles of counterparts
 Find out likely demands, team composition,
and counterpart authority
 Choose a negotiation site


Stage Two: Relationship
Building
Getting to know one’s contacts and building
mutual trust
 Non task sounding
 Use an intermediary
 “I have come as a mediator…”


Stage Three: Exchanging Taskrelated
Information


Cultural differences remain an issue
 Mexicans can be suspicious and indirect
 The French enjoy debate and conflict
 The Chinese ask many questions, but provide
ambiguous information in return

Stage Four: Persuasion


Dirty tricks are in the eye of the beholder
False information
Ambiguous authority
Uncomfortable rooms
Rudeness, threats
Calculated delays

Stage Five: Concessions and
Agreement
Russians and the Chinese start with
extreme positions
 Swedes start with what they will accept
 Starting with extremes may be most
effective

Managing Conflict Resolution











Instrumental oriented – in low-context culture
To address conflict directly and explicitly, and
conceptually separating the conflict from the person
doing the negotiation.
Often based on factual information and logical
analysis.
Expressive oriented – in high-context culture
Conflict is treated indirectly and implicitly.
Negotiators want to avoid confrontation because it is
viewed as insulting and can cause loss of face.
As an alternative, they rely on evasion and avoidance.

Alcatel and Lucent
Case Study

History
2001
Lucent management wanted the merger to be
“merger of equals”, and had concerns that Alcatel
management did not share their vision in that aspect.


2006
Mr. Tchuruk had agreed in April 2006 to pay 10.6
billion euro ($13.5 billion then) for Lucent
At that time, the company had combined sales of $25
billion
The series of quarterly losses ($7 billion loss since the
merger)


Culture Diversity






US have a highly specific culture, where people
enjoy their privacy, and a private life of individuals
has little to do with their professional lives.
In France, on the other hand, people are
concerned wit h ‘keeping their face’, trying to
display positiv e image in every aspect of their
lives, therefore it is a diffuse culture.
The stark difference in diffuse vs. specific cultural
dimension between US and France may cause
misunderst andings, or even conflicts at Alcatel Lucent

Strategy
French chairm an w ho lived in US Philippe
Camus and Ben Verwaayen, a Dutch in the
position of CEO.
 The success of t his strategy was granted by
the fact that Philippe Camus was closely
familiar with both cultures, French and U S, and
Ben Verwaayen, being Dutch had a ‘neut ral ’
national city in the company
 Result: revenues of 15.2 billion Euros for
2009, and company currently operating in more
than 130 countries worldwide


Conclusions


Types of companies cross-cultural issues
should be approached strategically by
organising classes, events and activities
that are aimed at increasing the level of
cultural awareness of the workforce

Problems
France
The government saw that the sponsored links are portray ed as trademark
counterfeiting.
Louis Vuitton, filed a law suit for tradermark infringement stating that hang
bag producers could pay to ensure that their ads would pop up when someone
googled for Louis Vuitton.


Germany
They sued Google for using "Gmail" because it was registered as a tradermark
so they lost that case and had to change the name to Google Mail, and spent $
167 million on "Theseus" to top Google. German government felt threatened
by losing the technological edge in both long run and short run.


Japan
Japan sued Google for censorship and the government wanted to have their
own searchengine hat would obtain back some of the domestic market share
and advertising revenue that large search firm were getting


Google’s Strategies
Google expands to emerging economies and
undertake competition from the local search
engines. So, local government made their own
search engines and try to control on things by our
own.
 China, being one of the highest and fastest growing
internet populations and has an attractive and
important market for all search companies.
 Google need to learn about the country and
understand and respect their rules.
 Google Should also localize and adapt to one
country's culture.

CULTURAL MISUNDERSTANDING
AND ISSUES


eBAY MADE LITTLE EFFORT TO SATISFY THE CULTURAL
ATMOSPHERE OF JAPAN



JAPANESE REFUSE TO BUY SECOND HAND PRODUCT –
self-image affected their willingness to buy products
online.



ELECTRONIC PAYMENT IS CONSIDERED AS
UNSECURE – eBAY tried to force Japanese
consumers to fit the company’s American centric
service model, rather than modifying the company’s
service model to meet local market needs.



Ebay made grandiose announcements about their
entry into the Japanese market, well before they had a
localised product ready to launch in Japan.



ISSUE ABOUT COMMISSION FEE – 4.000 item listed
vs 2.000.000 item listed
