Negotiating—a complex process even between parties from the same nation — is even more complicated in international transactions bemuse of the added chance of misunderstandings stemming from cultural differences. It is essential to understand the importance of rank in the other country; to know who the decision makers are; to be familiar with the business style of the foreign company; and to understand the nature of agreements in the country, the significance of gestures, and negotiating etiquette. These cultural differences lead to very different style of contract negotiation. There are enormous cultural differences between Asia and the United States. The classic difference is that in Asia, the good faith human relationship between the parties is central. In the United States, on the whole, there is a greater effort to have precise legal descriptions of everything that might happen, resolving every particular type of dispute that can be predicted in advance. Thus, during negotiations, the United States party frequently likes to have a lawyer present and tends to be less ready to use a situation of simple negotiation between the principals. This does not mean that concepts of good faith and good faith relationship between the parties to a contract are not taken seriously in the West, but it does mean that in the legal tradition we axe looked forward to spelling out all the precise details and you should not be surprised if your Western partner asks you to do that. There is a good faith obligation as part of normal contract law under the United States and European law. A contract is a legally binding agreement which the courts will enforce. This definition, likes all definitions, is not perfect, but it does emphasize the most important element in all contracts — agreement. All contracts are agreements, although not all agreements are contracts. So without agreement there can be no contract. But how do you prove the existence of agreement which is really no more than a state of mind of English judges, who are more interested in practical solutions than in abstract theories They have found, from experience, that if one person makes a clear and definite offer and another person unconditionally accepts the offer, then it is reasonable to say that the two of them are in agreement. There is no attempt to look inside their minds to find out what they are really thinking: it is what they say and do that counts. How can you find out whether two parsons are in agreement or not
Nearly all surgical stunts stick themselves with needles and (62) instruments while in training. But (63) fail to report the injuries, (64) their health and that of their families and patients to the threat of (65) disease, according to a survey by Dr. Makary and colleagues being published today. Their being (66) was the chief reason the surgical residents (67) for the injuries, which were mostly (68) . The survey revealed that young surgeons didn’t report the potentially fatal injuries for a range of reasons. (69) a time surgeons feel that doing so would take too much time, could (70) career opportunities and might cause a loss of face among (71) . In addition, there was a (72) belief that getting even timely medical attention would not prevent infection. "It’s been long (73) , but no one truly appreciated the (74) of the problem," said Martin Makary. "Every surgeon is (75) to be on anti-HIV medications and is at risk for contracting HIV and hepatitis at far higher rates than we suspected." "Part of the surgical culture has been maintaining the patient first at all cost, and when an accident occurs in the operating room, the surgeon’s (76) inclination is to continue with the operation," he said. "But the extent of the problem is much greater than we thought. Previous estimates of injuries understate the seriousness of the problem, (77) mast of the injuries are not being recorded." "More hospitals need to do a better job in protection", Makary said. "They need more appropriate and more timely surgical systems (78) surgeons can get medical treatment immediately, not after a long (79) process that takes them away from the patient." The findings (80) the need for "immediate steps to improve safety and care for health care workers to reduce the spread of HIV and hepatitis infection," he said. The hospitals could (81) so-called "sharpies" technologies where possible, including electric scalpels, clips and glues.
As long as her parents can remember, 13-year-old Katie Hart has been talking about going to college. Her mother, Tally, a financial-aid officer at an Ohio university, knows all too well the daunting calculus of paying for a college education. Last year the average yearly tuition at a private, four-year school climbed 5.5 percent to more than $17,000. The Harts have started saving, and figure they can afford a public university without a problem. But what if Katie applies to Princeton (she’s threatening), where one year’s tuition, room and board — almost $34,000 in 2002 — will cost more than some luxury cars Even a number cruncher like Tally admits it’s a little scary, especially since she’ll retire and Katie will go to college at around the same time. Paying for college has always been a humbling endeavor. The good news: last year students collected $74 billion in financial aid, the most ever. Most families pay less than full freight. Sixty percent of public-university students and three quarters of those at private colleges receive some form of financial aid — mostly, these days, in the form of loans. But those numbers are not as encouraging as they appear for lower-income families, because schools are changing their formulas for distributing aid. Eager to boost their magazine rankings, which are based in part on the test scores of entering freshmen, they’re throwing more aid at smarter kids— whether they need it or not. The best way to prepare is to start saving early. A new law passed last year makes that easier for some families. So-called 529 plans allow parents to sock away funds in federal-tax-free-investment accounts, as long as the money is used for "qualified education expenses" like tuition, room and board. The plans aren’t for everyone. For tax reasons, some lower-and middle-income families may be better off choosing other investments. But saving is vital. Aid packages usually come in some combination of grants, loans and jobs. These days 60 percent of all aid comes in the form of low-interest loans. All students ate eligible for "unsubsidized" federal Stafford loans, which let them defer interest payments until after graduation. Students who can demonstrate need can also qualify for federal Perkins loam or "subsidized" Staffords, where the government pays the interest during school. Traditional scholarships, academic or athletic, are still a part of many families’ planning. Mack Reiter, a 17-year-old national wrestling champion, gets so many recruiting letters he throws most away. He’ll almost certainly get a free ride. Without it, "we would really be in a bind," says his mother, Janet. For everyone else, it’s worth the effort to pick through local and national scholarship offerings, which can be found on Web sites like collegeboard. com.
