Many American companies conduct business in China. It is not unusual for partners to find themselves in commercial disputes. When this happens, knowing your best option is invaluable. As long as it is handled skillfully, direct negotiation with your foreign partner is the best method of dispute resolution. Not only is it the least expensive, it can actually strengthen the working relationship of the two companies. Fortunately, many business agreements in China require people to negotiate before they are allowed to escalate the argument into a lawsuit. The experienced professionals at the China-America Business Group are uniquely qualified to help you resolve issues before they damage the business relationship and lead to costly legal intervention and an unpredictable outcome. Employing a culturally knowledgeable negotiator can absolutely make the difference between resolution and escalation. From knowing the fine points in how to raise concerns within the Chinese business community to recognizing the measure of the gift that will build the bridge rather than offend a Chinese manager, experience is everything. The science behind the problem is obviously important in these critical moments, but it is the art that delivers the desired result.
