Quickly and safely on Eastern European sales or procurement markets.
In the selection of business partners, western companies usually rely on random contacts. But the fact that a contact person speaks good English does not mean that he/she will perceive your interests in the best possible way. A hasty decision can be expensive.
Business negociations in Eastern Europe still differ in many respects from western standards. For example, personal relationships remain very important: Eastern Europeans want to do business with persons they know not only through phone or e-mail contacts. Building relationships based on trust makes the future predictable, even in an imperfect institutional environment.
Negotiations require cultural sensitivity in order to properly interpret the actions of the strategically thinking Eastern Europeans and react appropriately.
