啊關於跟啊談判的時候,所以遇到這種沒法接、無法接受的這個阻力。在我的經驗來看的話,大部分就是因為啊一些溝通上的一些問題,communication 方面的問題。那這communication會有出了問題主要也是因為它的value system 的不一樣。價值的體系的觀點的一個不一樣。啊例如當然這個價值的體系從公司的立場來講了,是有非常多的 dimension。當然在有一些有可能在在談判的過程當中,也跟談判的這個這個object會有不一樣。那例如說,那假設說,談的一個比較屬於會有long term perspective的這一種一種一種contract的時候呢,那價值的體系呢,我們就會去求重在比較屬於long term的relationship。那假如說只是屬於short term的話,那可能cost就是一個很大的一個不不一樣的地方。所以當這個阻力形成的時候,我想我們的做法呢還是透過溝通,然後在溝通裏頭能夠讓這個價值觀能夠有一致。啊大家能夠從從長短期、從長期甚至中期這一種不同的stage,這些地方是不是有一些common ground大家可以來來有一些空間你退一步,我退一步,然後來造成這些阻力上的一個的降低。那我們認為跟美國人談判的話,事實上是還好,就是說有這樣一個彈性。但是跟其他國家就不一樣,例如說象日本,日本就是比較比較rigid,它這個這個方面這個空間比較小,但是跟美國人來講,大致來講,是還有一些空間,因為我想跟他們談策略、這種價值、long term 、short term來講,大家會有一個比較好的一個瞭解。所以overall來講,這個阻力來講,價值觀的不一樣,那如何來克克服它,我想就是根據這種策略上採用短期、中期、長期的策略,如何讓大家的價值觀align在一起。那就可以解決這些阻力了。Thank you。

English

As for resistance to accept-… accepting [a deal] when you’re negotiating…. In my experience, most of it arises from communication problems. The main reason you have communication problems is because of differences in values systems, a difference in perspective on values. For example, naturally, from a company’s standpoint, a values system has many, many dimensions. Of course, during negotiations, some of them probably… they’ll be different from the objective of the negotiations. For example, suppose you are negotiating a contract that has a more long-term perspective. Now, our values system is such that we’ll seek a long-term relationship. For example, if something is only short term, costs will probably be a very big, a different issue. So when there is resistance, I think our approach is to communicate, and through that communication seek to unify our values. Everybody can [look at the situation] in terms of long- or short-term, even long- or medium-term… For these different stages, can’t everybody find some common ground? Everybody has a little space in which you give a little, and I give a little, which reduces their resistance. I think that Americans are actually OK when negotiating; they have this kind of flexibility. But that’s not the case with people from other countries. Take the Japanese, for example. They’re more… more rigid; there’s less of this kind of [negotiating] space. But Americans, generally speaking, have some room. I think when you talk to them about strategy in terms of values, in terms of long- and short-term, everyone understands one another better. So, overall, I think you overcome these resistances, these differences in values by following this kind of strategy, using short-, medium-, and long-term strategies to bring everybody’s values into alignment, which resolves the resistances. Thank you.
