Based on some previous researches, this thesis will analyze the influence of different values on international business negotiations and some relevant countermeasures from the following aspects: subjective and objective values, time values, equality values and some other different values existing between the east and the west.

摘要：价值观作为文化的重要组成部分是跨文化交际的核心、是文化精神之所在、也是社会决策的动机和目的之所在。文化差异的主要表现形式是价值观差异；文化冲突的主要内容是价值观冲突。国际商务谈判既是一种经济活动, 也是一种文化活动。因此, 在跨文化谈判中，双方会持有不同的价值观,其谈判行为也会因价值观的不同而受到影响。正确认识中西方价值观差异有助于国际商务谈判的顺利进行。本文将在已有研究的基础上，从主客观念、时间观念、平等观念等中西价值观差异分析出发，探讨这些价值观差异对国际商务谈判的影响以及相关应对策略。
