| Description | This article aims to investigate the role of cultural differences within the current international business environment affected by technological advances, concentrating on the negotiation procedure and its outcome. The conclusion is based on the analysis of email interviews between top negotiators from the Czech Republic with long-term professional experience worldwide. The authors suggest considering a salesperson culture as a dynamic framework of top-down–bottom-up processes across cultural levels. Research indicates that, despite a reduction in costs thanks to the migration of negotiation meetings to online platforms, negotiators still prefer face-to-face meetings as the primary mode when managing intercultural nuances. |
