This week’s discussion will focus on cultural negotiation using the case study Danone’s Wrangle with Wahaha (p. 255). This case is a cautionary tale of how important cultural differences are when forming a strategic partnership or joint venture with companies from different countries.

After reading the case, reflect on the following: What was the problem in the joint venture that triggered the conflict between the two companies? What were the differences of each company’s understanding of their own respective roles and responsibilities in this venture?
