Today People’s Republic of China is emerging as one of the major global economies. But a lot of negotiations between German and Chinese businessmen have failed in China because German entrepreneurs have not been sufficiently prepared for the different cultural peculiarities of negotiations with Chinese business partners. This dissertation will analyse the cultural peculiarities of negotiations with Chinese business partners. Different theories about culture, communication and negotiations and their interactions are examined. The researcher will analyse differences between the German and Chinese business culture including the values influencing the German and Chinese business behaviour and communication style. A comparison of the German culture and negotiation skills with the Chinese culture and negotiation skills will be drawn. Prerequisites to commitment in China will be investigated and the Chinese framework of communication will be identified. Furthermore the Chinese bargaining and negotiation tactics as well as the purpose and format of Chinese negotiations will be discovered and the importance of “guanxi” and “mianxi” and their effects on business behaviour will be identified. The researcher will also advance the hypothesis that China has faced and will face the influence of materialism as a force undermining traditional values. To prove this hypothesis, she will analyse potential factors and forces that influence Chinese culture and with it the negotiations with Chinese business partners.

As the level of globalization in business relationships rises, the importance of questions and problems pertaining to intercultural communication increases more and more. This gives rise to new tasks for the social sciences, which can only be successfully performed through interdisciplinary cooperation in the sense of area-studies. Between 1995 and 2002 for area, the Bavarian research network for area-studies, drew together numerous members of the scientific community who are specialized in the social sciences to pursue previously unresearched topics in areas of overlap of business and culture as exemplified in non-European regions. The most important results are collated here.

In modern conditions of global and transformational changes, the role of management of marketing activities of agrarian enterprises is growing. Understanding and using the concept of marketing in the management of agro-industrial enterprises in the conditions of European integration is a mandatory element of effective entrepreneurial activity. The quality of marketing activity in management is decisive, as it determines the highly profitable rhythmic activity of the enterprise. Studies of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine confirm that, although the implementation of marketing is becoming more and more widespread, all existing forms of management of marketing activities are not yet fully used. What would ensure the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises, adaptation to constant changes in the external environment and market conditions, stability of economic conditions. Management of marketing activities plays a significant role in the development and effective operation of an agricultural enterprise. It is effective work in the field of marketing activity management that will increase the competitiveness of an agricultural enterprise, expand its opportunities to enter new markets, and lead to an increase in product sales and profit growth. Due to inertia, many enterprises do not pay attention to the importance of such a component as marketing management, which in the future negatively affects their economic indicators. The article examines the main features of marketing management of agricultural enterprises of the Vinnytsia region and Ukraine as a whole in the conditions of European integration. The significance of the research on the management of marketing activities, which is necessary not only for profit, but also for being competitive in the market, is determined. The necessity of using an integrated marketing approach is substantiated. The expediency of using modern methods of product promotion has been determined The scientific basis of managing the economic development of agribusiness entities is revealed in the works of Ukrainian economists - V. Andriychuk, I. Balaniuk, I. Gryshova, G. Kaletnik, M. Malik, P. Sabluk, A. Tretyak, O. Shpykulyak and other scientists. Theoretical issues of strategic management are highlighted in the scientific works of M. Albert, O. Amosov, I. Ansoff, Y. Zavadskyi, M. Meskon, G. Mintzberg, H. Mostovoi, G. Odintsova, M. Porter, A. Thompson, A. Fayol and other domestic and foreign authors. The theoretical principles of marketing activity management became the object of research by H. Armstrong, L. Balabanova, O. Varchenko, A. Voychak, O. Gudzynskiy, P. Doyle, H. Kaletnik, S. Kamilova, F. Kotler, Zh-Zh . Lamben, I. Lytovchenko, L. Naumova, M. Oklander, O. Osnach, P. Ostrovsky, A. Pavlenko, I. Reshetnikov, M. Sakhatsky, I. Solovyov, O. Chirva, O. Shpychak, many other domestic and foreign scientists. Theoretical studies and practical recommendations of the mentioned scientists formed the general methodical basis of marketing management of agricultural enterprises. However, research on the management of marketing activities of agribusiness subjects is not sufficiently systematic and complete. In the practice of domestic agricultural enterprises, there are a number of shortcomings that reduce the effectiveness of marketing activities in the conditions of European integration. These include: chaotic use of individual elements of marketing, reduction of marketing functions only to stimulating the sale of goods, food, orientation to the short-term perspective, lack of flexibility and ignorance of consumer requests. To solve these tasks, it is necessary to develop measures to promote the sale of products through the formation of a sales support system and the development of cooperation with the EU. In these conditions, the role of marketing activity of agricultural enterprises increases and the need to develop recommendations for the organization and development of marketing tools in agro-industrial production at the level of enterprises and the region, which determines the relevance of this scientific research. The results of the research presented in the monograph were carried out as part of the initiative theme of the Department of Agrarian Management and Marketing of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University "Development of the concept of management of marketing activity of agricultural enterprises" state registration number: 0122U002111. for 2022-2024

M&A transactions are significantly more complex processes than the mere purchase and sale of goods - SMEs can quickly find themselves in unfamiliar territory - especially when it comes to multi-layered activities with players from completely different cultures, especially from China, as Germany's largest foreign trade partner. The need for knowledge in practice is correspondingly great. This edited volume therefore brings together, on a theoretical basis, the practical knowledge needed for the successful planning, implementation and integration of German-Chinese corporate takeovers in the SME sector. After a compact presentation of the economic background, cultural aspects of negotiation and regulatory framework conditions, the course of corporate transactions and their German-Chinese peculiarities are dealt with in detail. The book concludes with a guide to the core aspects of such transactions and an exemplary presentation of case studies. In generally understandable language and well illustrated, the success factors as well as possible stumbling blocks are revealed. A clearly structured and cleverly formulated handbook that every player should have at hand.
