My specific high expectation for the negotiation is as follows: the deal would be reached out of court, Black would complete and receive the remainder of the money owed. In this scenario, Brookside would withdraw the lawsuit, and would not receive any data entry support.
The target decision maker for this negotiation would be since I discussed with lawyers, and they said a lawsuit was imminent. A lawsuit would hurt the reputation of our company. Therefore, it is beneficial to talk to the president of Brookside directly.
The bottom line for the negotiation would be programming Brookside’s forms. In this case, it would cost $1 million and take 9 months to complete. Brookside would pay 75% of the price, while Black Company would pay for the
I believe that the union and management did not fulfill their objectives and consequently reached a settlement that did not improve Zinnia’s future competitiveness in the market. Although the union and management initially agreed to focus on wages and health insurance, they bargained a contract that does not reflect their objectiv...
b. Assuming Ruhling is now interested in a requirements contract, how should Ruhling proceed with the bidding/award process?
In the negotiation for the Federated Science Fund I represented the Stockman Company. The meeting started with a caucus between Turbo and I which set the tone for the negotiation. In the five-minute caucus, we understood that we get the highest payoff by working together and decided to only form a deal with United if it benefited us. This was the main turning point in the negotiation as we returned to United with only high-ball offers: we opened with $220,000 each for Stockman and Turbo, and went only as low as $200,000 each, with $80,000 for United. United presented counter offers throughout, but all of them were below our $200,000 reservation point. Even though United continuously demanded a more inclusive deal, we saw no real benefit and made a deal by splitting $440,000 evenly.

Negotiations styles are scholastically recognized as being broken down into two general categories and those are distributive bargaining styles and integrative negotiation styles. Distributive bargaining styles of negotiation are understood to be a competitive type of negotiation. “Distributive bargaining, also known as positional bargaining, negotiating zero-sum, competitive negotiation, or win-lose negotiation, is a type or style of negotiation in which the parties compete for the distribution of a fixed amount of value” (Business Blog Reviews, 2011). This type of negotiation skill or style approach might be best represented in professional areas such as the stock market where there is a fixed goal in mind or even in a garage sale negotiation where the owner would have a specific value of which he/she would not go below. In contrast, an integrative negotiation approach/style is that of cooperative bargaining, or win-win types ...
Most of the common activities in our daily life present an opportunity to negotiate, whether or not we realise it. Meta-reflecting upon my negotiation experiences during the class and other activities have led me to identify few common themes. In this assignment, the two themes I will be discussing are (1) the importance of being clear on the strategic intent and big picture thinking, and (2) the importance of managing the negotiation process through understanding the various phases and visualising negotiation as a train journey.
ABC Company is a small contract manufacturing business. They are located in a small town and employ 33 people. They own an 80,000 square foot building that is built on 66 acres. They manufacture their own product and also do contract manufacturing for other customers. ABC Company has been approached by a new customer requesting ABC Company to manufacture their product with the new customer’s brand name. At this time, ABC Company is running the manufacturing line for this product for another customer and is running at capacity on first shift. The owners of ABC Company think they would like to build an expansion to the building to run another complete line. This would also open space for warehousing the new finished product and additional raw materials. The same raw materials would be used to manufacture this product, but at larger quantities per week. The only new materials would be the label and outer box with the customer’s name on them. The owners feel that adding on to the building and expanding to an additional manufacturing line would open up more opportunities for additional customers.

...s in stone. Rather, I will work towards a beneficial compensation package, if not a pay increase, then perhaps a higher title with concessions. The outcome of this negotiation should leave both sides satisfied. I will also research the department’s policy on compensation as well as reviewing my job description. Both of these are attainable in the Human Resources department. Furthermore, I will check websites that have listing of salaries and job descriptions to make sure my compensation is commensurate with my work. The scholarly article I will use to help plan out my tactics in my negotiation is “Dealcrafting: The Substance of Three-Dimensional Negotiations by David A. Lax, and James K. Sebenius”. This article explains that our understanding of negotiations are one dimensional. However, this new approach for a three dimensional negotiation can work in my favor.

Negotiation approaches are generally described as either distributive or integrative. At the heart of each strategy is a measurement of conflict between each party’s desired outcomes. Consider the following situation. Chris, an entrepreneur, is starting a new business that will occupy most of his free time for the near future. Living in a fancy new development, Chris is concerned that his new business will prevent him from taking care of his lawn, which has strict requirements under neighborhood rules. Not wanted to upset his neighbors, Chris decides to hire Matt to cut his grass.
