Abstract
The determinants of business negotiations in two countries are investigated in a laboratory simulation. One hundred thirty‐eight business people from the United States and 102from Canada (50 anglophones and 52 francophonej1)participated in a two‐person, buyer‐seller negotiation simulation. The francophone Canadians'negotiation style was found to be significantly different from that of both the Americans2 and the anglophone Canadians, while Canadians may look like Americans, sound like Americans, and even act like Americans … many Canadians resent any assumption by Americans that the two societies are identical. Kenneth Freed (1986).Résumé: Les facteurs déterminants de négociations commerciales dans deux pays sont étudiées lors d'une simulation en laboratoire.
