2. Read two business cases, try to answer the questions and hand in your homework next week:
1) Could you analyze these two distinctive reactions from different cultural dimensions that you have learned in previous English classes?
Ted Washington, a marketing manager in the United States, turns down two sales proposals, one from an American, Dale Peters, and one from a Japanese, Hideo Takahashi. Both Peters and Takahashi are eager for their separate, different proposals to be accepted. Each believes his is the right direction for Ted Washington to go. Each is optimistic beforehand and feels crushed after his proposal is rejected.
Dale Peters enters into a discussion about his difference of opinion with Ted as if it is a conflict situation. He uses heated discussion and issue-oriented arguments. He produces facts, figures, and graphs to illustrate his case. In contrast, Hideo Takahashi is dumbfounded by the direct, outright rejection. He then proceeds to analyze the conflict episodes as a personal attack or a sign of mistrust. In fact, Hideo plans to resign as soon as possible.
2) What are the different interpretations for a smile by the two persons in this situation? How can you employ Brown and Levinson’s Face Theory and Edward Hall’s High or low-context cultural theory to explain why Jun Chen uses smile to conceal his true feeling of regret?
Peter is the general manager of an American company in China. Recently, Jun Chen, one of the Chinese managers made a mistake at work that caused some difficulties that required a lot of effort to fix. Jun Chen was very upset about what had happened, and came to Peter’s office to make a formal apology. Jun Chen went into Peter’s office after being told to, smiling before he spoke.
“Peter, I’ve been feeling very upset about the trouble I’ve caused for the company. I’m here to apologize for my mistake. I’m terribly sorry about it and I want you to know that it will never happen again.” Jun Chen said, looking at Peter with the smile he had been wearing since he walked into the office. Peter found it hard to accept the apology. He looked at Jun Chen, and asked, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m very sorry and I promise this won’t happen again,” Jun Chen said, with a smile even broader than before.
“I’m sorry I just can’t take your apology. You don't look sorry at all!” Peter said angrily.
Jun Chen’s face turned very red. He did not in the least expect Peter to take it negatively. He was desperate to make himself understood.
“Peter,” he managed to smile again, “trust me, no one can feel any sorrier than I do about it.”
Peter was almost furious by now, “If you’re that sorry, how can you still smile?” 展开

2)两个人在这种情况下的笑要做什么不同的解释？你怎么能用布朗和莱文森的face理论和爱德华。霍尔的高或低文化内涵理论来解释为什么陈君用微笑掩饰自己的真实感觉后悔吗?
彼得是在中国的一家美国公司的总经理。陈君,最近中国经理在工作中犯了一个错误,造成一些困难，需要很多的努力来解决。陈君对发生的事很沮丧，来到彼得的办公室做出正式道歉。陈君进入了彼得的办公室被告知后,说话之前要微笑。

“是的,我很抱歉,我保证这不会再发生了,“陈君说,笑得更灿了。
“对不起,我只是不能接受你的道歉。你看起来不抱歉!“彼得生气地说
陈君的脸变得很红。他没有一点希望彼得消极看待。他是想让自己被理解。
“彼得,”他设法再次微笑,“相信我,没有人能比我感到更抱歉。”彼得几乎是愤怒了,“你要是觉得抱歉，怎么还笑得出来。”
