Variation in Assertiveness Across Cultures

The degree of assertiveness considered acceptable for women varies greatly by culture, shaping their negotiation tactics. In cultures that value directness and assertiveness, women might feel more empowered to negotiate aggressively. Conversely, in cultures where indirect communication is valued and women are expected to be more deferential, their negotiation tactics may be more subtle, focusing more on relationship building than overt demands.
