Examines the ways in which cultural factors have affected the conduct and outcome of US dealings with five increasingly significant nations: Japan, China, Egypt, India and Mexico. The author also presents a theoretical framework for his analysis which offers two different models for negotiation; the first is defined as 'low context' which is a predominantly verbal and explicit style typical of individualistic societies such as the United States; the second is 'high context' which is associated with nonverbal and implicit communication more typical of interdependent societies.
