Ray Soles, the Vice President of Supply Chain Management at Sabor Inc. He has the task of making sure Sabor Inc. has enough supply of Marconil to keep up with demand. Recently, Ray’s three suppliers have all advised there is a possible supply shortage of Marconil, and without a form, long term contract Sabor’s suppliers cannot guarantee the raw material will be available.

If Ray must sign long term contracts, what criteria must he establish to do so? With or without signing

As a negotiator, a few of my strengths include being a good listener with a calm composure and positive attitude. I have the ability to make my opponent feel at ease by being patient and attentive, and breaking the ice when needed with the use of humor.

The matters covered in a contract are the parties involved, any important dates (such as start and end dates), the definitions of terms used in the contract, the goods or services being provided, any payment amounts and dates for payment to be sent or received, potential interest on late payments, delivery or performance dates for services offered, insurance and guarantee promises, termination dates, renewal terms, damages for breach of contract and any extra special considerations.

Consequently, negotiation is a process that can be approached in many ways. No matter what strategy we choose, success lies in how well we prepared. The key to negotiating a beneficial outcome is the negotiators’ ability to consider all the elements of the situation carefully and to identify and think through the options. At the same time, negotiators must be able to keep events in perspective and be as fair and honest as circumstance allows. Because a common ground or interest has brought the parties to the negotiating table, a negotiator can benefit by trying to capitalize on this common

Pre-negotiation preparation is essential for the optimal outcome of a negotiation, as it allows one to design a strategy and plan that can increase the probability of a beneficial agreement.

An effective negotiator should know one’s own best

From the given situation, I believe that purchase contract negotiation involves clarification and mutual agreement on the structure and requirements of the contract and I acknowledge the positions of both parties to gain the first step of forming the contract. I utilize active listening and collaborative communication techniques at the first stage of forming a contract. These techniques allow me to focus on both sides must recognize basic areas of contract agreement and the importance of other terms and conditions.

These include perception, emotion, and communication. Perception focuses on understanding the other side’s thought process and putting on their shoes to understand their point of view on the negotiation. This is often difficult as you are commonly defending your own standpoint but must be done in order to make sense of what is and is not an acceptable deal.

Emotion is also an important trait to be aware of as a healthy mindset promotes healthy negotiation. If both parties have a strong emotional attachment to the issue, the are more likely to battle one another than to work together to solve the problem. In order to support emotions, consider all of them as legitamate and try to be understanding of the other parties issues. Also, do not react to emotional outbursts as emotions on one side can often generate emotions on the other side and both parties may lose focus of the overall goal. Lastly, communication must be supported between both parties and should focus on talking to, hearing, and understanding the other party (Ury, 1981). It is important to speak to the other party in a way that is easy to understand and not send mixed messages. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Also, hear the other party’s concerns and actually focus on them without dismissing them to address your own needs. Also, be sure that all

In planning for my negotiation, I reviewed the Supplier Payoff Matrix for each of the issues to be resolved. The issues which were likely to offer least resistance were the Electronic Integration and the Inventory. The next issues that were likely to have some pushback were the Quality and lot size. We kept to the last the more contentious issues that included price, volume flexibility, development fees and contract term.

These four areas are the key points of every long-term contract that it is written up. Long-term contracts now have the potential to improve in various ways thanks to these.
