Cross-Cultural Marketing Negotiations: A Laboratory Experiment

Data from a laboratory experiment involving Japanese and American business people are analyzed using a structural equation model. Measures of the process of marketing negotiations e.g., social influence strategies, etc. are found to mediate the influence of cultural variation of the parties i.e., cross-cultural versus intracultural bargaining on negotiation outcomes.
