In order to smooth the negotiation process, both sides need to make cultural preparations ahead of time, including understanding the culture of the opposite side, asking questions and sufficient communications.
2)What is your opinion on Iceberg Model of Culture? Please give an example.
The Iceberg Model of Culture shows us that only some superficial phenomena are presented to the public, while more in-depth values are buried under, which is harder for people to notice and pay enough attention to. An example is that during an international business negotiation, an American company representatives found that the Chinese company representatives were always nodding no matter what the American team said. They believed that the Chinese team were impolite because they seemed to pretend that they agreed with the American team at all points, while later they threw out some sharp challenges to the American team. In fact, Chinese team nodded with smile to show their traditional Chinese values of respect, kindness and patience in the situation of other people speaking. But business is business, challenges with sharp words then followed still.

Key to the Questions
1) Choose two distinctive elements of international business negotiations from the text and illustrate.
There are quite a few distinctive elements of international business negotiations. The first to discuss is the laws, policies and political authorities that both parties need to handle. It is normal that people all take first consideration of their own life and work experience, as well as the related laws and politics of their own countries. However, since international negotiations aim at connecting the two sides though coordinating both backgrounds, then both parties need to learn sufficient politics before, throughout and after the negotiation process. Otherwise, misunderstanding, disrespect and conflicts will occur frequently, in some cases even leading to failure of negotiations.
