No barter

Ray Stuart

Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 2005, vol. 18, issue 6, 889-889

Abstract: Purpose - To reflect on the process of trade between cultures. Design/methodology/approach - Fictional poem. Findings - The poem considers the trading positions of two cultures and the needs of both sides. It suggests a separation of commodities, regular items under contract being treated differently from those produced as unique and more highly valued artefacts. Originality/value - Promotes reflection on the respective values of the two sides in the negotiation; of their needs and wants, and their economic backgrounds. Provides a unique account of negotiation and settling on price where different cultures meet.
