I see no onions on that chart.

It's a failure in all ways.

The onions are mentioned in the bottom text. There are some toppings they did not put on the "graph".

And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.
All the slices of that pizza are the same size and there's several data points assigned to each of them. Why the hell would you think it was meant to be a pie chart?

I actually really like these, but I'd like them a lot more if I thought they were drawn according to any sort of logical system for all those shapes.

Management books take really conversational and chummy tones so its probably 1 part trying to communicate an actual idea tempered with 1 part tongue firmly in cheek.

I think the distance between lines is meant to be how close or far two parties are from agreeing to every point of a discussion at a given point in time. So diversion is farther away from compromise and tightening is getting closer to compromise.

That makes sense for some of the loonier examples. For example the two without arrows on the paths are a bit out of place in tone even with the rest.

So is the Canadian one, including with a bit of divergence at the end, so when the deal is done there's always some sort of followup question.

I couldn't point to any part of the chart and say why its accurate though. I want a legend, or a scale or something.

The Italian and Finnish ones are great.

Finnish, Dutch, and Polish are also on point. But I suspect it's just because those graphs are more like ink-blot tests.

I remember reading a book about modern Chinese government where the author said that the PRC tends to be very reasonable in trade negotiations and open to compromise on most geopolitical issues as long as they don't attract much popular attention back home, but once the news gets out, they go into full blustering national pride mode and it's impossible to get anything done until the media frenzy dies down.

I always liked how this one business communication (lol) textbook I had would contradict its own message over and over.

"People are people everywhere, and there's a great deal of variance of practices between different cultures and groups within a country, as well as differences of practices within cultures or groups"

one chapter later...

"Korean people negotiate like this, doo do doo doo doo, but French people negotiate like this, doo doo do do doo."

I take it back, its an authoritative management book because its looney and people probably describe it as "it says what international managers are really thinking," and partly because of the ink blot effect where white people can still look at it and say, yep just like those Australians to be all thanks mate.

the wedges have the wrong centerpoint, so the size of the slice does not correspond to its value. c.f. "KS fees" and "Shipping & Logistics" which have the same value but have wedges of slightly different sizes.

That tends to be true about diplomacy in general. JFK and Khrushchev for example were only able to back out of brinkmanship during the Cuban missile crisis once they sidelined official channels, press releases and cabinet members, and made a personal deal brokered in secret by Bobby K.
