• Reflecting on your first journal entry, what have you learned about your strengths and weaknesses as a negotiator?
Before taking this module of Managing the negotiation process, I perceived my strengths and weaknesses solely based on my personality. Thanks to a variety of supporting materials such as the lectures, textbook, class discussion, role-play exercises and group work assignment, this course has offered me an opportunity to look at myself more comprehensively. It also helps reveal my style as a negotiator. My strengths and weaknesses are now becoming clearer to me so that I know how to make use of the strengths and reduce the impacts of the weaknesses. I also explore some new strengths and weaknesses that I have never known before.
Regarding the strengths, firstly, I have learned that my skills of setting a clear goal and having a definitive mind in making decision are useful for me in preparing my negotiation strategy. There are significant issues that are needed to plan carefully prior to the negotiation. These issues are the target point, the reservation point, and BATNA. Thus, having a clear mind for defining the target is vital to develop these points. That will help the negotiator set a strong foundation to negotiate with their counterparts.
Secondly, being a hard worker has helped me put sufficient effort and time to analyse the situation of negotiation, the other party and certainly, my party. I have become more and more patient in a negotiation process, which includes the preparation before the negotiation, the real negotiation and the effects after a negotiation.
Thirdly, I have learned that ethical issue is an important aspect that every negotiator must consider when negotiation. There will be a bad outcome ...

...at the negotiators can increase the possibility of approaching good negotiation outcomes if they have sufficient and careful preparation. Preparation is the key to making a successful negotiator. The management of the negotiation process is constituted by the three primary evaluations toward the negotiators’ themselves, the other parties, and the situation. Each party must identify what they really want in order to build their target point, reservation point, and BATNA. In addition, a good negotiation strategy is to explore the real needs of the other party by asking the right questions and listening actively. A good negotiator knows what information should be open and vice versa. Besides, the negotiator should not only pay attention to the immediate outcomes of the agreement, but also the long term benefits such as prospective collaboration, long term relationship.

    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 ...

    Good preparation allows you to strategize with the ability to think quickly in the negotiation room. There are several different formats and styles of negotiations. The use of a certain style depends on elements such as the strength of the relationship, the urgency of the situation, the intricacy of the issues, and the content of the negotiation. Each format and style has its own strengths and weaknesses and can be strategically used in various types of situations. As mentioned, the preparation of a successful negation is necessary, especially concerning your BATNA. We have been able to explore such preparation and methods by participating and conducting negotiations with our peers. The following negotiation studies proved to have their own dynamic, thus accounting for a different preparation and negotiation tactic for each.

  • Pros and Cons of the Five Different Negotiating Styles

    1021 Words  | 3 Pages

    Negotiating styles are grouped into five types; Competing, Collaborating, Comprising, Avoidance, and Accommodating (Colburn, 2010). Even though it is possible to exhibit different parts of the five types of negation styles in different situations, can see that my tendencies seem to default to, Compromise and Accommodating. In reviewing the course work and reviewing my answers for Questionnaire 1 and 5, I find that the data reflects the same assumption. The accommodating profile is one where relationship perseveration is everything and giving what the other side wants is the route to winning people over. Accommodators are well liked by their colleagues and opposite party negotiators (Colburn, 2010). When analyzing my accommodating tenancy in negations, I find often it is easier to give into the demands when they are within a reasonable range. I often consider it the part of providing a high level of customer service. It has been my experience that continued delaying and not coming to an agreement in a topic will only shorten the window in which you will have to meet the request since. The cons to this style are by accommodating highly competitive styles the accommodator can give up to much ground in the process. “Giving away value too easily too early can signal to your negotiation counterpart that you've very deep pockets, and your gift is just a taster of bigger and better gifts to come”. The other negations type I default to is compromising. Compromising “often involves splitting the difference; usually resulting in an end position of about half way between both parties’ opening positions” (Colburn, 2010). In the absence of a good rationale or balanced exchanged concessions, half way betwee...

  • 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.
