Chapter Outline
What Difficulties May Arise in the Negotiation Process in Poland?
Negotiations in Poland are usually a joint search for a mutually beneficial solution, so both parties to the business relationship are responsible for reaching an agreement in the short and long term. In the Polish business environment, long-term relationships and the search for mutually beneficial solutions are highly valued, so the best strategy is calm, friendliness, patience and persistence.
However, despite this, many foreign investors and entrepreneurs may encounter obstacles during negotiations in Poland due to ignorance of important features of the Polish business environment and cultural differences in different countries. These difficulties, among others, include the following:
- Elanguage barrier, since the official language of the country is Polish and in many cases it may be useful to involve a translator;
- Ecultural differences, as Polish culture expects its members to feel a sense of belonging and conformity to their group;
- Ecommunication problems due to ignorance of important and small nuances;
- Ethe duration of negotiations, which can take a long time and lead to losses.
