Negotiation Process in Poland

The officer know it is morally wrong to take any gift regardless how minimal it maybe. According to Elijah Adlow (2011), “the policeman who accepts a gratuity or solicits a bribe from a racketeer must remember that he is dealing with a man who is not renting his soul for a day but is taking title to it for life.”(p. 46) Perhaps the gift was given with no intention to gain an advantage or to put the officer in difficult predicament, but since the intention is unknown, it is best that the gift is not accept, which will protect the officer from making any moral or unethical decisions.

Since joining the EU Poland has made major improvements to it economy, legals system, and political system. Reducing corruption and inefficiency that had been in place during 80’s and replacing them with stable institutions. These changes ushered in the ability for successful FDI, local investment and tourism. However, Poland is still a developing economy and has some weakness that it need to address in order to continue to grow. There are a number of issue that could arise for the rapid growth that Poland has experienced. Assuming growth continues, there could be conflict between the Polish economy and the overall EU economy. This discrepancy in growth between the nations of the EU could lead to unstable trade relations for Poland. As well as call into question the funding Poland's receives for the EU. Poland has plans to increase spending on many different social welfare programs, if the Polish economy were to weaken it could leave the government with large debts and obligations that they can not afford. Poland is currently already sitting at the EU limit for debt to GDP Ratio. Poland is also currently dealing with social unrest do to the recent increase in nationalistic tendencies by the current government.

This paper presents my reflections on the Negotiations: Strategy and practice coursework in the MBA program at Said Business School, University of Oxford. My paper will present various reflections on different themes of negotiation simulation undertaken by me during the course. This course has allowed investigating and reflecting on key drivers of negotiation techniques for me. I have learned that transparency and coalition are the core tenet of negotiation for me. For the purpose of this reflective exercise, I will conduct a comparative analysis of the process, dynamics and outcomes based on the themes such as negotiation styles, bargaining zones, power, emotion, coalitions, value claiming vs value creation etc. for the below-mentioned simulations:

Differences between people within any given nation or culture are much greater than differences between groups. Polish people and British, although have a lot of common in terms of historical inheritance, they vary in many aspects of social life and these differences naturally affect the behaviour and culture.

“The collapse of the Soviet Union, the communist superpower, was one of the most striking events in recent history” ( Perry, 2012 p. 872). Poland was the first to remove them self from the Soviet Union. The prices in the polish country for basic good continued to rise, do to this Poland formed the self- sufficient trade union called solidarity. Pope John Paul and the Catholic Church supported Solidarity. John Paul did not inspire an upheaval, but he did encourage the polish people to build establishments separate from the state, so the next time a confrontation occurred it could stand up as a unified front. In 1988 Poland became politically independent from the Soviet Bloc, and this led to a noncommunist

In any negotiation, preparation is crucial; and having a set, outlined process to follow when preparing helps mitigate a potential oversight of any significant issues within the negotiation. Following a set process also helps one stay on task and in-line with what the important issues and factors are in a negotiation. In Bargaining for Advantage, G. Richard Shell provides a well-structured framework to follow in planning for a negotiation. For this reason, I used Shell’s negotiation preparation framework to plan for the negotiation between Rapid Printing Company (Rapid) and Scott Computers, Inc (Scott).

Poland operates with a semi-presidential system in which there is both a president and a prime minister taking part

In order to draw that line companies should look at three different aspects. First, the international laws about gifts and bribes must be carefully analysed. Second, companies should gather information in regard to what is permitted by the local culture. Last but not least, companies must look carefully at their CSR strategy in order to see which kind of gifts there are ready to accept in order to be in line with their core values.

Negtiation is a strategic process of reconciling differences in interest and coming to a mutual resolution through cooperation that is percieved fair for both of involved parties (Fells 2012). The negotiation that was analysed in the “Enterprise Agreement Negotiation Report,” demonstrates that negotiation is not an easy process nor its orderly, since it is the activity and not the segment that determines the phase of a negotiation.

Negotiating is something that has been around since the beginning of mankind. We all start off negotiating as little kids, even for little things such as candy and toys. When we grow up, negotiating becomes sort of the norm. We negotiate consciously and subconsciously every single day. When you think about it, negotiation takes up most of our lives. We are always trying to see what we can get as a benefit without giving up much. It always comes down to the pie, how big is the pie and who can get the biggest slice. As we become adults with careers, there are ever some that become flat our ‘Negotiators’. This means that all they do for a living is negotiate. They are master negotiators and are praised for being so. When it comes to negotiation, persuasion is also within that talent. You have to be able to get what you want from people without them feeling like they are being taken advantage of and that they are also getting just as big a piece of the pie as you are getting, although in reality they are not.
