The meaning of conflict in international business negotiations

Conflicts in international business negotiations refer to contradictions and confrontations arising from differences of opinion, conflicts of interests or rights struggles between the two parties in the communication process. This contradiction and confrontation may lead to the obstruction of the negotiation process and even the failure of the negotiation. When dealing with conflicts in international business negotiations, we need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Rational treatment: We should treat conflicts in negotiations rationally, and don't be too emotional or excited, so as not to aggravate contradictions and confrontation.

2. Full communication: We should fully communicate, understand each other's views and needs, and find common ground and solutions.

3. Adhere to principles: we must adhere to our own principles and interests, but we must also respect each other's reasonable needs and interests.

4. Seek assistance from a third party: If both parties cannot resolve the conflict by themselves, they may consider seeking assistance from a third party, such as an intermediary or an arbitration institution.

5. Maintain the relationship: In the process of dealing with contradictions, we should try our best to maintain the relationship and trust between the two sides to avoid the intensification of contradictions or lead to long-term contradictions.

To sum up, conflicts in international business negotiations are a common phenomenon, which requires rational treatment, full communication, adherence to principles, seeking the assistance of third parties and maintaining relations.
