This research grew out of not understanding Chinese culture when I got first time to China to study Master in Nanjing University.I wondered a lot and I tried to understand some behaviors,then I thought it would be necessary to research the implications of cross-cultural issues,because I wanted to imagine how a foreign manager is working in an international joint-venture in China or is doing business and for that he/she has to be ready and a successful one,but not without understanding the cultural differences.Therefore,I had the idea to write my master thesis about cross-cultural issues related to business management and negotiation.The goal of this research is to reveal cultural differences in management and negotiation styles in China and Western managers,as well as describe novel research findings in cross-cultural issues.After having lived one year in Germany,in between my master studies,where I had the opportunity to use a wide literature related to crosscultural studies,and to interview both Western and Chinese businessmen and managers who have spent many years in managing and negotiating for several well-known national and multinational companies.After getting back to China I have done a few interviews as well,but that was not easy.Most of interviews were done by meeting the people face to face.In addition to that,I had also the opportunity to take into consideration some case studies,and some observations during internships,and during some business dinner-meetings.Special thanks are due to the contributions of my wife,Claudia SILA,whom I met initially in Nanjing,Mr.Chen,my professor who let me working in a total independence;the way I love to work with,my classmate Guo Zeng Ke,my boss Mr.Yan,while my internship in his company in Leipzig,and all people who contributed to this work.Keywords:Managers and Cross-cultural issues,cross-cultural management and communication,culture,language,international business negotiation,collectivism versus individualism.
