During a negotiation between the Chinese group and the U.S. group, one of the Chinese negotiators insisted that the American project in Thailand had some problems and the technology didn’t work well. The American negotiator, who was quite familiar with Chinese culture, didn’t say anything for explanation. Instead, he called the head office and asked the office in Bangkok to check there was no problem. The next day, at a private dinner meeting, the American negotiator told the Chinese manager that his statement about Thailand was not correct, but he did not mention anything related to what he had said at the previous meeting. He gave him the telephone number of the Thai counterpart and asked him to check for himself. After that, the Chinese manager became very friendly and helpful to the American company. Question: Why didn’t the American manager explain directly?
Yang Mei: Hello, my name is Yang Mei. Mary Ann: Hi, I’m Mary Ann. Yang Mei: Are you studying Chinese here? Mary Ann: Yes, I’m new here. Yang Mei: Where are you from? Mary Ann: Australia, Perth. Heard about it? Yang Mei: No, not really. I really like your dress. How much did it cost? Mary Ann: Well, eh, I don’t remember for sure. Yang Mei: Your shoes are nice, too. Where did you get them? Did you get them in a sale? Mary Ann: I can’t remember. I must go now. See you later. Question: Is this a successful verbal communication? Why or why not?
Anna asks her fiancé, Ben, “Can we talk about us?” Immediately Ben tenses up, sensing trouble. He prepares himself for an unpleasant conversation and reluctantly agrees. Anna then thanks Ben for being so supportive during the last few months when she was under enormous pressure at her job. She tells him she feels closer than ever to him. Then she invites Ben to tell her what makes him feel loved and close to her. Although Ben is relieved to learn there is no crisis, he is also baffled: “If there isn’t a problem, why do women need to talk about the relationship? If it’s working, let it be.” Question: Could you explain why Ben was reluctant to have a talk with his fiancée?
