Saly:   ໃນ​ບົດ​ສຳພາດບົດ​ນີ້ ທ່ານ​ຈະ​ໄດ້​ຍິນ​ Eliz ຖາມ​ ທ່ານ Gomez ກ່ຽວກັບການ​ສົນທະນາ​ໃນ​ເມື່ອ​ກ່ອນຂອງ​ລາວ.

Eliz:          This conversation took place in June of last year.

Gomez:     Yes, that's right.

Eliz:          So Mr. Blake had more than six months to install the new robots.

Gomez:     Yes, the robots didn't need to go into operation until January first.

                  So there really wasn't any deadline pressure.

                  I think that Charles--that is, Mr. Blake--was very well prepared for all of our concerns.

                  That was very reassuring.

Eliz:          Mr. Gomez, thank you for talking with us today.

Gomez:     My pleasure.

Eliz:          Let's take a short break.

Culture Tips:  The Reasons behind a Position

Larry:        Culture Tips

Saly:   ​ຄວາມຮູ້​ພິ​ເສດ​ທາງ​ດ້ານ​ວັທນະ​ທັມ.​

       ສຳລັບຄວາມຮູ້​ກ່ຽວ​ກັບ​ວັທນະ​ທັມ​ເທື່ອນີ້ ທ່ານ​ຈະ​ໄດ້​ຍິນການ​ເວົ້າ​ເຖິງ​​ເຫດຜົນ​ຕ່າງໆ​ກ່ຽວກັບທ່າທີຫຼືຈຸຢືນ.

·                           a reason    ແປ​ວ່າ​ເຫດຜົນ ​

·                           a solution ແປ​ວ່າຂໍ້​ແກ້​ໄຂ ຫຼື​ຂໍ້​ແກ້​ໄຂ​ບັນ​ຫາ.

·                           a position  ແປວ່າຈຸດຢືນຫຼືທ່າທີ

Eliz:          Welcome once again to "Culture Tips" with Gary Engleton.

Gary:         Today, we're going to talk more about negotiations.

                  When you negotiate, it is very helpful to understand the reasons behind the other person's position.

                  If you understand why a person wants something, you can look for a solution that both of you can accept.

Eliz:          Can you give me an example?

Gary:         Well, for example, if I want to go to an Italian restaurant, and you want to go to a seafood restaurant, we are taking different positions.

Eliz:          Yes, we want to go to different restaurants.

Gary:         Right.  But if the reason I want to go to an Italian restaurant is because I like spaghetti, you may know a seafood restaurant that has great spaghetti.

Eliz:          I see.

                  And if I want to go to a seafood restaurant because I love shrimp, you may know an Italian restaurant that has shrimp.

Gary:         That's right.

                  What we wanted was different, but once we understand why we wanted it, we were closer to finding a solution.

Eliz:          Thanks, Gary!  That was really interesting.
