Recommended: Principles tactics of negotiation

The negotiation process theoretically begins with the initial decision to bargain and the structure of the negotiation in terms of their negotiating partner, although some of these decisions may be constrained by its context (Barry & Oliver 1996, p132). In a private real estate transaction, for instance, the potential buyer has the option not to bargain and to take at initial price, or they could place an offer and work towards a price beneficial for both parties. However, in situations where the option to bargain is not limited, the relationship between the parties may be used to explain the negotiator’s initial decision. Empirically, it is found that parties who are close place greater importance in the preservation of the relationship through compromise and even yielding, rather than working in collaboration (Barry & Oliver 1996, p132). These parties may view the risk of damaging the relationship to be of greater loss than the losses incurred in bargaining and will therefore be less inclined to negotiate over other non-confrontational options that are available. It is also true th...

  • Case Study: The Framing Of Negotiator Judgement

    1387 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Framing of Negotiator Judgement focuses on how the negotiation is set up. Negotiators must consider the influence of positive versus negative frames. If the sides are able to identify what gains can be made in compromise this deviation could be avoided (Bazerman, 1999, 199). Similarly, the mythical fixed-pie of negotiations describes a win/lose scenario in which it is assumed that one party’s interests directly conflict with the other party 's interests. (Bazerman, 1999, 201). The resolution to this deviation is the ability to find ‘favorable trade-offs between negotiators’ (Bazerman, 1999,

    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 ...

    ...an agreement, in which the superior may have a final say in the matter, this too can be detrimental to the business because it only serves to lower the morale of the manager, and confidence in the work he or she is trying to achieve. Secondly the attitudes of the negotiators can greatly affect the outcome. For example, if one negotiator has a competitive behaviour rather than a cooperative behaviour then it will most likely make the other negotiator adopt a more competitive attitude and thus decrease the likelihood of inducing counteroffers that can lead to an agreement (Fisher, Fredrickson & Peffer 2000). Negotiations can also cause those involved who disagree in significant and irreconcilable ways to accentuate those differences (Hilton 1994).

  • The Diffences Between the Negotiation and the Mediation Processes

    1072 Words  | 3 Pages

    This paper will cover the difference in the negotiation process and the mediation process and explore some of the barriers that hinder the processes. There is a distinct difference between the negotiation process and the mediation process. Negotiation as defined in Essentials of Negotiation is a process by which two or more parties attempt to resolve their opposing interests (Lewicki, Saunders, and Barry, ) The Negotiation process happens when individuals disagree about a situation and there’s no mutual solution that can be attain by the two parties. The disagreement leads to a conflict which involves misinterpretation, miscommunication and hurt feelings. Because the parties cannot reach a mutual agreement on how to resolve their issues, they can request a third party to intervene and assist in obtaining a mutually acceptable agreement of the issues involved in the conflict which is the mediation process. The negotiation process is the first phase that leads and continues throughout the mediation phase of reaching a solution to the dispute. The mediation process is a voluntary course of action that the parties must decide to take part in to help resolve the situation. The parties cannot be force to participate in the process and they are not obligated to reach a decision. They can walk away from the process if they feel uncomfortable or if they feel that there is no right answer for them in the process. The medication process is a continuation of the negotiation process in which the lines of communication is still open to allow the parties to work through their impasse for solutions of the disputed issues which is mutually beneficial for both parties. The mediator assist the parties in evaluating advantages and disadvanta...

  • Reflection Paper On Negotiating Skills

    1472 Words  | 3 Pages

    During this course, I have learned a lot about negotiating. We learned about almost every negotiating technique there is. We learned about cross-cultural negotiations, body language, Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA), variables in negotiating, and many more. Before this course, I did not know that much about negotiating. I thought that negotiating was just about trading or convincing someone to give you what you want and you did not care about the other side, resulting in a win-lose. I now know that negotiating is about getting what you want, but also giving the other side what they want as well to result in a win-win. This paper is about how I am going to improve my negotiating skills over the next six months. In order for me to improve my negotiating skills, I believe I need to improve the following skills- my body language, communication, planning, and my interpersonal communications. By improving those skills, I can become an effective negotiator.
