The behavior that a negotiator

modifification made so AS TO negotiate in your selected host country
A negotiator from America will have to modify the American behavior of talking much with less non-verbal actions when negotiating in Japan. In Japan the negotiator should communicate much with non-verbal communication as the Japanese are more focused on the negotiators implications.

Steps to follow when negotiating in your selected host country
The negotiator should first understand the issues at hand. Once in negotiations, the negotiator presents their case. The negotiator should listen to the other side of the negotiation. When the process of finding solution is complete, the final part of the process is entered into. The contract is then accepted and signed by both parties. The final step is fulfilling the agreement.

Cultural bases for negotiation conflict
Negotiation conflict could be as a result of the misunderstanding brought about by cultural differences. For instance shaking one’s head from side to side means refusing an idea in America whereas the same non-verbal communication means agreeing to the Idea in India.
Strategies to managing the conflict

Understanding the culture of the host country-by understanding the cultural aspects that may cause conflict due to lack of communication early, the situation may be avoided before the negotiating time.

Learning intercultural communication-By learning intercultural communication one knows and understands how people from different countries and cultures communicate, act and view the world around them.
