CultureReady. (2016). Successful cross-cultural negotiation: Korea [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw7Kc3PCXgQ Review the video on successful cross cultural negotiation. Which of the adaptations by the Americans do you think was key in leading to a successful negotiation? Is there potential pitfall here in that the cultural adaptation seems to be to the perceived national culture of South Korea? Wouldn’t the South Koreans have learned about and prepared themselves to deal with potential American missteps? Even with all of the steps taken to respect South Korean cultural norms, wasn’t the key to the negotiation’s success that the Americans’ offer was better than the South Koreans’ BATNA? What are your thoughts on some of these questions or other issues that you have noticed?
