【正文】 thout bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role bees that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause crosscultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing shortterm goals.

In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.
