This would give me insight into how I would approach the different types of employment opportunities and what conditions came with them. I strategized that if Top Foods first offered permanent employment, then I would negotiate for lower rates. However, if permanent employment was only conditioned on the proving of a successful campaign, then I was going to go for a hirer pay rate. Furthermore, after hopefully learning the type of employment that Top Foods was looking for, I was going to move onto how much control my client would have in terms of the marketing plan. I strategized to start with my client’s wishes to have full control over the marketing plan, but given the unlikeliness of that happening, I was going to comeback with the idea that Top Foods could review the plan and ask for any revision to be made. Thus, letting the negotiation unfold from that point.
Ultimately, throughout the negotiation, I strategized to keep emphasizing my theory that my client had successfully created other marketing plans for Asian inspired foods in the past. I hoped to show through stressing this that Top Foods had found an asset to its company and the right person to hire for this type of work. I hoped to methodically go through each issue between the two parties and touch on each one in order to come to an agreement that would be suitable to each side. 2. How well did
Gina Blair represented a competitive-cooperative negotiation strategy which represented a middle ground, both combined in a style which was open minded but assertive. Gina had scheduled the telephone meeting between herself and Daniel Trent; therefore she had more knowledge about what was going to be discussed. As she had initiated the negotiation she had prepared well for the issues concerning her clients. She presented her negotiation in a logical structure, showing that she had prepared all the areas of concern which she intended to address. Her preparation allowed her to identify and prioritise her client’s concerns. She avoided small talk and was very direct, her approach was assertive and she projected confidence. She had a clear understanding of the issues which were of concern to her clients and had proposed
Our team approached this negotiation case in a very efficient way. Each of us had a very clearly job assignment. Two people took care of the calculation while the other two people were responsible for the negotiation. Thus we quickly built up a model and provided several options to our counterparts with different terms but same net value of the final bargaining agreement to our team.
Negotiation and Conflict Application Paper I immigrated to the United States 15 years ago in pursuit of higher education and a successful career. I discovered that I had to significantly readjust the habits engrained in me from childhood through interacting with new people and dealing with conflicts. My traditional and conservative upbringing in India provided a sheltered environment and programmed me into listening and obeying elders and avoiding conflict at all costs. It was my belief that any conflict big or small with the close ones would cause a strain in the relationships. Thus, I often avoided conflicts and accommodated the wishes of others at the cost of my own. I considered this
Therefore I included how I could sell him my product. Before I get into the negotiation I inquired beforehand. By collecting as much information before starting the negotiation, I could understand what was the needs and concerns of Sally Soprano. This knowledge makes it easier finding a mutually beneficial solution.
Negotiation occurs on a regular basis in a daily life and individuals negotiate in business occasions or outside of the workplace.

This essay will indicate that my natural preferences for different influencing tactics, comparisons between theory and practice, and a personal action plan to improve negotiation skills based on the role-play activity in my class.
1. How did you plan for the negotiation? Explain how you decided on a strategy?
Going into this negotiation as the VP of operations my goal was to primarily succeed in buying the restaurant.

In this negotiation exercise, I was assigned as the Seaborne Governor’s negotiator as part of a six member party meeting to negotiate a deal with Harborco to build and operate a deepwater port off the coast of Seaborne. The Governor on the whole was very interested in seeing this deepwater port built in Seaborne as she believes that the size of the project would provide the stimulus for a dramatic recovery in the state.
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).
Negotiation is the process of making amicable decisions between individuals or groups. In this assignment, I will discuss a negotiation that did not result in the best possible solution for all parties. This negotiation was related to my work experience where I was a realtor who was representing a buyer in negotiation of the property’s price, mortgage loan rate and terms.

Both our approaches were directed towards addressing the issues with a collaborative spirit for the greatest benefit to both sides. We agreed that both sides wanted to establish a long term a relationship with each other and were willing to give genuine consideration to each other’s particular needs and interests. This experience has enabled me to reflect on my personal approach towards negotiation, as well as analyze my strengths and potential areas for improvement as a negotiator.
Last fall, my wife and I put our home up for sale. Our motivation was simple, with the money we would get from the sale of our home we could pay off all our debt and have plenty of money left over to invest, eventually saving enough to buy a bigger home. Emboldened by the allure of liquidity I listed our home for sale and waited for the offers. Indeed the offers did come in, in fact over the next few months we were in and out of escrow three times.
To begin our analysis of conflict, it’s important to have a mutual understanding of conflict. A definition that seems to cover the ideas in this scenario well, is “an expressed struggle between at least two interdependent parties who perceive incompatible goals, scarce resources, and interference from others in achieving their goals” (Salsbury, 2016). To best address the conflicts revolving around the Dakota Access Pipeline, we chose to use “The Onion” tool, presented by Fisher et al.’s Working with Conflict; Skills and Strategies for Action. This tool provides an outline that really grasps the needs and wants of all involved stakeholders are allows for equal distribution of demands. As the name implies, The Onion tool is based off the idea
