I had written a research paper in regards to Walmart and how they strong arm other companies and cause a lot of small town mom and pop places to go out of business. Most of the research I received was from a video online in which Rubbermaid is put out of businsess. Long story short, next paper she is asking us to write came with these details. Feel free to contact me if necessary:Explain how international and cross-cultural negotiations differ from domestic or same-cultural negotiations by analyzing these two negotiations that take place in the case:
1.) Wal-Mart versus Rubbermaid (same culture negotiations)
2.) Wal-Mart versus Hong Kong toy manufacturer supplying (cross-cultural negotiations) For each one, you will analyze the impact that culture, value system, religion, and ethics play in the business transactions between the two negotiations.
Apply the Hofstede’s model of cultural dimensions for each negotiation. Remember, that one negotiation is USA vs. USA (same culture) and the other is USA vs. CHINA (cross-cultural).
For each of the two negotiations, offer recommendations and/or solutions for alternative actions that could be taken by either Wal-Mart or the two suppliers that are supplying Wal-Mart.Short paper assignments must follow these formatting guidelines: double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and discipline-appropriate citations. Page length requirements: 4-5 pages. You may include charts, graphs and photos on additional pages but the 4-5 pages must be text based analysis.
