I think Chinese businesspeople tend to have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner, as opposed to the more direct style of American businesspeople, who are said to work with the “get-down-to-business-first” mentality. The Chinese-type management encourages cooperation among employees, between the labor and the management, and gives employees a joy of participation and fulfillment, as well as a sense of pride in their work.
我认为中国人在商务谈判时倾向于使用一种迂回婉转的方式,而那些被认为在工作时具有一 种“公务为先”的心态的美国人则往往表现出较为直截了当的作风。中国式的管理方式鼓励员工之间的合作,也鼓励普通员工和管理人员之间的合作,使员工有一种喜悦的参与感和成就感,使他们对自己的工作产生一种自豪感。
