From this essay, we can conclude that there are two categories of situations that cause disputes, i.e. technical factor and comprehension factor. Wrong price offering and wrong use of clauses are the main causes of technical factors. However, comprehension factor, which includes different comprehension of the effectiveness, of the prescription, and of the clauses of an oral offer, happened more frequently than the technical one. Among the tree comprehension factors, different comprehension of the prescription is the main reason that causes disputes, such as the term of validity. Although disputes occurred frequently, it still plays an important role in business negotiation. According to the questionnaire, 37% of the surveyed has ever reached a deal by oral offer without signing contracts. With the development of the Chinese exhibition industry, oral offer will be used more and more frequently. However, most exhibitors’ knowledge of the oral offer is not enough, even some of them still have the wrong understanding.
Through the questionnaire and the interview, we also conclude the solutions to decrease the risk of making disputes by both technical factors and comprehension factors. The comprehension factors are more difficult to solve than the technical factors, needless to say avoiding them.
