SWEDISH NEGOTIATORS Swedish negotiators according to Cassc arc

1 Very quiet and thoughtful 2 Punctual (concerned with time) 3 Etrelllely polite 4 Straightforward (they get stmight down to business) 5 Eager to be productive and efficient 6 Heavy going 7 Down to earth and overcautious 8 Rather flexible 9 Able to and quite good at holding emotions and feelings

111 Slow at reacting to new (unexpected) proposals 11 Inrormal and fmlliliar 12 Conceited 13 Perrediolli~t

l4 Ahaid of confrontations lS Very private

ITALIAN NEGOTIATORS italians says Casse yalue a negotiator who acts as follows

1 Has 11 sense of drama (acting is a main part of th~ culture) 2 Does not hide his or her emotions (which are partly sincere ami partly lelgned)

3 Heads facial expressions and gesturcs very well 4 Has a feeling rur history S Does not trust anyhndy 6 Is c()m~rncu aboulthc belaigur(I-the good impression-he or she cun ltrte atllong

those who walch his or her behavior 7 Believ~s in the individuals initiatives not so much in telllnwork II Is good at being obliging and simpatico at all times 9 I always on the qui Ijve-the lookout

HI Never emhraltes uehnite opinions 11 Is ahle to ltome up with new ways to immobilize mel eventually deslrny his or her opponents 12 Handles confrnnlalioM of power with subtlety and tact 13 Has a nair for intrigue 14 Knows how tO lise Ilallery 15 Can involve olher negotiators in complex combinations

COMPARING PROFILES Comparing slILh profiles is useful Indian negotiator for example are humble patient respeltlfol or the other parties and very willing to COml)mmise cornpared with Americans who are lirmer aboul taking stands An important difference between Arab negotiatols and those from most other countries is that the negotiators are mediators not Ihe parties themselves hence direct confrontation is made impossible Successful Swedish negoshytiators arc conservative lind careful dealing with factual and detailed information This profile contfllsts with Italian negotiators who are expressive and eXllbcmnt but less straightforward than their Swedish counterparts

SWEDISH NEGOTIATORS Swedish negotiators according to Cassc arc

1 Very quiet and thoughtful 2 Punctual (concerned with time) 3 Etrelllely polite 4 Straightforward (they get stmight down to business) 5 Eager to be productive and efficient 6 Heavy going 7 Down to earth and overcautious 8 Rather flexible 9 Able to and quite good at holding emotions and feelings

111 Slow at reacting to new (unexpected) proposals 11 Inrormal and fmlliliar 12 Conceited 13 Perrediolli~t

l4 Ahaid of confrontations lS Very private

ITALIAN NEGOTIATORS italians says Casse yalue a negotiator who acts as follows

1 Has 11 sense of drama (acting is a main part of th~ culture) 2 Does not hide his or her emotions (which are partly sincere ami partly lelgned)

3 Heads facial expressions and gesturcs very well 4 Has a feeling rur history S Does not trust anyhndy 6 Is c()m~rncu aboulthc belaigur(I-the good impression-he or she cun ltrte atllong

COMPARING PROFILES Comparing slILh profiles is useful Indian negotiator for example are humble patient respeltlfol or the other parties and very willing to COml)mmise cornpared with Americans who are lirmer aboul taking stands An important difference between Arab negotiatols and those from most other countries is that the negotiators are mediators not Ihe parties themselves hence direct confrontation is made impossible Successful Swedish negoshytiators arc conservative lind careful dealing with factual and detailed information This profile contfllsts with Italian negotiators who are expressive and eXllbcmnt but less straightforward than their Swedish counterparts

lllOw lh~ Right Plh nd are going to win because their cause is just

SWEDISH NEGOTIATORS Swedish negotiators according to Cassc arc

1 Very quiet and thoughtful 2 Punctual (concerned with time) 3 Etrelllely polite 4 Straightforward (they get stmight down to business) 5 Eager to be productive and efficient 6 Heavy going 7 Down to earth and overcautious 8 Rather flexible 9 Able to and quite good at holding emotions and feelings

111 Slow at reacting to new (unexpected) proposals 11 Inrormal and fmlliliar 12 Conceited 13 Perrediolli~t

l4 Ahaid of confrontations lS Very private

ITALIAN NEGOTIATORS italians says Casse yalue a negotiator who acts as follows

1 Has 11 sense of drama (acting is a main part of th~ culture) 2 Does not hide his or her emotions (which are partly sincere ami partly lelgned)

3 Heads facial expressions and gesturcs very well 4 Has a feeling rur history S Does not trust anyhndy 6 Is c()m~rncu aboulthc belaigur(I-the good impression-he or she cun ltrte atllong

those who walch his or her behavior 7 Believ~s in the individuals initiatives not so much in telllnwork II Is good at being obliging and simpatico at all times 9 I always on the qui Ijve-the lookout

COMPARING PROFILES Comparing slILh profiles is useful Indian negotiator for example are humble patient respeltlfol or the other parties and very willing to COml)mmise cornpared with Americans who are lirmer aboul taking stands An important difference between Arab negotiatols and those from most other countries is that the negotiators are mediators not Ihe parties themselves hence direct confrontation is made impossible Successful Swedish negoshytiators arc conservative lind careful dealing with factual and detailed information This profile contfllsts with Italian negotiators who are expressive and eXllbcmnt but less straightforward than their Swedish counterparts
