Your abilities in international management have been recognized, and your consulting assistance has been requested. The company Quasimoto Enterprises has been approached by a reputed Chinese firm that wants exclusive production and selling rights for one of its new high-tech products. The company has been looking for a strategic partner for the production of this product to reduce costs. Hence, Quasimoto Enterprises is very interested in exploring the possibility of developing relationships with this Chinese firm. This deal is very critical to growth of Quasimoto in the international market. Both parties are anxious and preparing for their first meeting in a month’s time to move this deal forward. This is the first time Quasimoto is doing business with China, and this is also the case with the Chinese firm.
The bold question below is my part of the project That i need you to complete. It has to be 5 double space written pages plus reference page Disregard the other two question and, its not my responsibility. I just added it to the email for you to have a full understanding of the what assignment is.
What does Quasimoto Enterprises need to know about Chinese bargaining behaviors to strike the best possible deal with this company? What should the Chinese firm know about American bargaining behaviors to strike the best possible deal with your company?
In your small group, develop a strategic plan for the negotiation and conflict resolution for Quasimoto's executive team for its first meeting with the Chinese. Also, develop a negotiation and conflict resolution plan for the Chinese firm for its first meeting with the Americans.

Are there any similarities between their bargaining behaviors? Can they have a win-win deal?
APA format is mandatory (in text and in the reference section).
There are two main types of databases accessible in the library, through “FIND ARTICLES & BOOKS.” Keep in mind that the most popular databases are: ABI Inform Global, Academic Search Premier, and Business Source Premier. As a student, you must steer away from inferior Web sites with anonymous writers, articles found on consultant Web sites, materials on sites like QuickMBA.com, MarketingProfs.com, etc. Dictionaries and Encyclopedias most often repeat the information from your text. Acceptable Internet resources include among others government sites (especially for statistics). You are not permitted to use any open-source Web site in this course.
Present your findings as a 5 -7 pages Word document formatted in APA style.
Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:
1. TITLE PAGE. Remember the Running head: AND TITLE IN ALL CAPITALS
2. ABSTRACT. A summary of your paper…not an introduction. Begin writing in third person voice.
3. BODY. The body of your paper begins on t.
The benefits of learning a foreign language should
speak for themselves. Yet many people view languages as a luxury subject and too often school districts are cutting language classes due to budgetary restraints.
If language programs are on the chopping block in your school system, it’s time to sell your district on languages.
Why Words Matter (Part 2): 5 Things You Should Know About Teaching Vocabulary...Transparent Language, Inc.
For beginning language learners, building vocabulary breadth (how many words they know) has been shown to be the single most important factor in accelerating and maximizing proficiency gains. But as learners progress into advanced levels of proficiency, they encounter more and more diverse contexts, and the depth of their vocabulary knowledge is tested. It’s at these levels that, even as learners continue to expand the breadth of their vocabulary knowledge, they should develop active strategies for expanding the depth of their knowledge about the words they’ve already “learned”. In this webinar, we will explore the five things every language teacher should know about building lexical proficiency in advanced language learners.
Why Words Matter: 5 Things You Should Know About Teaching Vocabulary to Begin...Transparent Language, Inc.
Which is more important for beginning language learners – grammar or vocabulary? How many words does a language learner need to know in order to attain a proficiency level of CEFR A1 (ACTFL Novice High)? And what about levels A2 (Intermediate Mid) or B1 (Advanced Low)? Obviously, the more words a learner knows, the better; a vocabulary size of 1,000 words is better than 100 words, and 2,000 words is better than 1,000 words. But which 2,000 words? Is there a preferred order of acquisition that will maximize proficiency gains – or will any 2,000 words do?
In this webinar, we explore the five things every language teacher should know about building lexical proficiency in beginning and intermediate language learners. You may be surprised at what you discover!
(Originally presented by Paul Tucker on May 10, 2018)
U.S. policymakers and administrators have long touted better STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and math) as a way to bridge achievement gaps and spark innovation. But STEM should not be promoted at the expense of other subjects, particularly foreign languages.
2016 felt pretty bleak, but 2017 is a chance to turn things around. We think languages can play a big part in that, from better educational outcomes and increased empathy to international communication skills and business opportunities.
It seems like most people are ready to say good riddance to 2016, but we’ve actually had a memorable year here at Transparent Language! Our engineers have been cranking out new features, our linguists continue to fill our products with new languages and courses, and our sales folks have partnered with more organizations, schools, and libraries than ever. Before we look forward to 2017, let’s take a look at what’s new and exciting in 2016.
Technology is not making libraries obsolete, it's making them more necessary. If you're only of the 40% of American who don't have or use their library card, it's time to change that!
In 2015, the US Census Bureau released its more detailed set of data covering the hundreds of languages spoken in homes throughout the United States. In this presentation, we'll take a look at that data.
Create a Communicative Language Classroom: Designing Reading and Writing Act...Transparent Language, Inc.
Language teachers understand that 21st century students must be able to communicate effectively with diverse people from many different cultures. In order to meet this challenge, teachers should emphasize communicative skills when instructing foreign languages. Students are required not only to understand, but also to produce language in oral and written forms. This webinar series will cover how to plan instructional activities that align with the three ACTFL modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational), as they relate to listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
In this session, we'll discuss reading and writing activities.
Studies have shown that when it comes to learning foreign languages, combining technology and human instruction is more powerful than either computer learning or human instruction alone. The flipped classroom is an exciting new methodology in education where students “front load” their language abilities by learning vocabulary and phrases independently before each class. Teachers then build on what their students have already learned, practicing and applying that knowledge in class through communicative activities and task-based strategies. The result is a more rewarding classroom experience, with more time spent actively engaging in the language, rather than passively listening.
This presentation, given at the 2015 FLEAT Conference at Harvard University, will teach you how to flip your class and enjoy the wealth of benefits to both teacher and student alike.

We live in a digital world that allows our students to access information 24/7. Why not use that to your advantage by teaching your students asynchronously?
Asynchronous learning is a student-centered teaching approach that employs a wide variety of web, mobile, and cloud-based tools outside of regular school hours, thus removing the constraints of time and place. The tools at your disposal are many: social media, mobile applications, collaborative communication, learning objects, blogs, and beyond.
In this webinar, we will explore the benefits and risks in asynchronous teaching, as well as the positive impact it can have on students’ lives. The webinar will also include details on how to integrate these tools into any language-learning curricula.
Learning a language is tough. Learning multiple languages is, well, tougher. But, for the dedicated, organized language learner, it’s not impossible. Here are 5 actionable tips to help you balance multiple languages simultaneously.
Good grammar is a vital skill for advanced language proficiency: Knowing how words work and how they fit together is critical for putting foreign words to proper use. The need to learn grammar is always going to be part of language learning, and should not be neglected. Even when using an approach that emphasizes the acquisition of vocabulary, ways can and should be found to incorporate grammar into the learning process. The right strategies and technologies can overcome any objections about possible boredom or difficulty by making grammar learning appealing, efficient, and effective. This webinar explains the methodology of Lexical Functional Grammar and demonstrate how to integrate it into lesson planning.
Social Media has been hailed as the silver bullet of grassroots marketing. Circumvent aging advertisement models and talk directly to your community? The only cost is your time? Fabulous! It can be like that, but it takes some very specific strategy to achieve that kind of success. At Transparent Language, we've built our Social Media following to nearly 3 million fans on Facebook alone. Our blogs receive over 200,000 visitors each month, and our YouTube videos have been viewed more than 2 million times. And we built most of it, not with a large team or budget, but with a single dedicated staff member. Truly grassroots.
The lessons we've learned along the way can benefit our library clients, too. In this slide deck, a follow-up to @LorienGreen's presentation at NELA 2014, we present our "secret sauce".
Education Webinar Series: Creating ACTFL-Aligned, Authentic Lessons for Highe...Transparent Language, Inc.
Transparent Language is proud to host a variety of FREE webinars aimed at educating teachers on how they can effectively teach languages with technology.
Teaching higher-level language learners requires a lot of planning time and creativity. After all, don’t all teachers want authentic, engaging lessons that continue to help their students achieve higher language skills? Text books are often antiquated and lack real-time culture. Teachers’ daily schedules are full, leaving little time to devote to creating new, quality lessons for higher-level language learners. This webinar will focus on creating real-time, engaging lessons at all levels based on the ACTFL proficiency scale.
Making mistakes is an integral part of learning a language, but only if they are productive mistakes. Mangling a verb tense or using the wrong noun gender provides a learning opportunity. More serious mistakes, like using the wrong materials or burning yourself out, on the other hand, can be detrimental. Find out which mistakes haunt language learners, and how you can avoid them!

7 Ways to Blend in with Native Speakers (Even if You Don't Sound Like One Yet)Transparent Language, Inc.
Many language learners dream of being mistaken for a local. For most, that means working tirelessly to sound like a native speaker. But, when it comes to blending in with a new country and culture, it’s not just about your accent. There are plenty of ways to act like a native speaker, even if you don’t quite sound like one yet.
Our children will inherit a far more diverse and interconnected world than the one we live in today. As parents, we are responsible for equipping our children with the traits and skills required to succeed in such a globalized world. Raising global citizens is not only for families with big travel budgets. Here are 9 ways to raise your children to be globally-minded from the comfort of your own home.

10. Just last year, CNN Money dubbed
bilingualism the hottest job skill.
11. Taking the time to learn a second language
demonstrates a strong work ethic—an
attractive quality to any employer.
Image by ddqhu on Flickr.com
12. Having learned a second language says
a lot about you, but it also allows you to
say more… to more people!
Companies targeting global
audiences are seeking
bilingual employees to
broaden their reach.
Image by Jason Bachman on Flickr.com
13. Including language skills on your
resume signals to employers that
you’re a hard worker who can
open doors to new markets.
This skill just might open the door
to a job offer!
Image by decar66 on Flickr.com
15. No hard line can be drawn between being bilingual and
earning more money, but anecdotal evidence suggests
that many bilingual employees are better paid.
Image by Ken Teegardin on Flickr.com
16. For example, Freakonomics fans may recall this bit of
research from Wharton and LECG Europe that found
that studying a second language is correlated with
approximately 2% higher annual earnings.
17. U.S. Army servicemen and women are another example
of those who can directly benefit from bilingualism.
Soldiers can earn up to $1,000 extra per month by
demonstrating proficiency in multiple languages.
18. While it may not be the case across the board,
demand for bilingual employees is increasing, giving
you not only a chance to set yourself apart from
other applicants, but also a bargaining chip for
better pay.
Image by Darren Johnson on Flickr.com
20. Being able to communicate in another
language is valuable, but knowledge of
another culture is invaluable.
21. Did you know that in India,
it can be considered rude
to blatantly say “no” in a
meeting?
(You should use vague terminology
such as “Possibly” or “We’ll see”
instead.)
Or that it is insulting to
thank your host at the end
of the meal?
(It’s considered a form of payment,
which is unwanted.)
Image by krebsmaus07 on Flickr.com
22. When it comes to doing business with
Indians, those are important things to know.
And who might know those cultural
peculiarities?
Someone who dedicated their time and
effort to learning Hindi, perhaps!
23. Knowledge of the etiquette, social norms, and
customs of a foreign country are paramount to
companies looking to do business abroad.
24. From shaking hands and making eye contact to
punctuality and gift giving, there’s a lot to learn.
That’s why companies are hiring bilingual and
bicultural folks to bridge the gap.
26. For bilinguals working at companies doing
business abroad, “abroad” just might be
the key word.
Image by Joao Carlos Medau on Flickr.com
27. It’s not guaranteed, of course, but
being the go-to Portuguese speaker
in a company that has partners or
customers in Brazil…
the opportunity is there.
29. Looking to supplement your income?
Bilinguals can easily put their language
skills to use on the side as a translator,
interpreter, or tutor.
Image by Tim Green on Flickr.com
30. Thanks to the internet, there will always be
opportunities to put your language skills to use as an
online tutor or freelance translator, regardless of
where you live or what field you work in.
31. So, whether you’re hoping to secure your
current job, switch sectors, or start an encore
career, learning another language will help you
stand out from the monolingual masses, see the
world, and supplement your income.
