Introduction The interest in cultural differences is not a new one. Throughout history, differences in nationality, culture, ethnicity, and religion have resulted in conflicts and wars, technological and art advances, and exploration of new lands (Hofstede, 1991; Adler, 1997). In the past few decades, as political and geographical boundaries become more open, and as international trade expanded, the effect of local culture and customs on organizations rapidly increased (Adler, 1997; Bond & Smith, 1996). How people from different national backgrounds may resolve conflict and what the differences may result from thereby are practically and theoretically interesting and significant questions. These questions are what the current study attempts to investigate through a case study of Blockade. 课程名称：conflict analysis and management 作业要求： this paper calls for a written analysis of the case study "blockade" that sets out how you would manage the communicative relationships as communication consultant who has been asked to "assess"the situation for a conflict management firm.
