Review Of Bolles 'Text What Color Is Your Parachute?'

For this negotiation I have three types of goals in place. My substantive goals are to negotiate a contract that will bring in $5.8m (target point 3) and to also secure future contracts with Knight. With

Intimate partner violence is characterized not only by physical violence, but also sexual, emotional, and mental violence through the use of threats (Understanding Intimate Partner Violence, 2011). In Black and Blue, Anna Quindlen delves into the mind of a woman who faces intimate partner violence in her everyday life. Fran, or Beth, and her son attempt to get away from Fran’s abusive cop husband. While Black and Blue is a fiction novel, its points about intimate partner violence hold true in many cases such as the breaking of traditional gender roles, high levels of stress, alcohol overconsumption, and learned behavior.

In this memoir, the author chooses to have two narrators, himself as one, and his mother as the other. This style makes for quite an interesting story, skipping back and forth in time, from the child's life, to that of his mother. Although many time changes occur, they are quite easy to keep up with, as the two narrator's of the book, James, and his mother, alternate chapters. For this reason, it is also very easy to compare the childhood of each of the main characters. Although the chapters aren't always during the same time periods of the respective characters, they are close enough that similarities can be seen, and parallels can be drawn. This is one of my favorite parts of the novel, seeing the

From the word go, being a good negotiator is critical, if you want to further your career. An employer may ask you the question about compensation to find out if you are ready to work at the stipulated or below the going pay scale. The other reason may be targeted at boxing you to negotiate for your salary. Regardless of how the question is framed, it is important to recognize that what you say during the negotiation can greatly influence your pay and reveal something about your negotiation skills. Here are 15 tips that will help get the most out of your salary negotiation.

The Colored Junior College was established to provide an opportunity for African-Americans to receive college training. The Junior College progressed so fast that by 1931, it became a member of the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and was approved by the Southern Association of Colleges. In the summer of 1934, the Houston School Board changed the junior college to a four-year college and the name to Houston College for Negroes. When the university opened its doors in September 1947, it had 2,300 students, two schools, one division and one college - the Law School, the Pharmacy School, the Vocational Division, and the College of Arts and Sciences. Responding to the changing times, in 1973, the 63rd Legislature designated Texas Southern University as a special purpose institution for urban programming. As a result, four more academic units were added - the College of Education, the School of Public Affairs, the School of Communications and the Weekend College.

What is the general wage concern that management and employee representatives bring to the negotiating table?

It is important to find out who you are. In order to find out who you are, you must start you’re roots and if you have no roots or are unable to reach them, finding where you came from to help find yourself becomes really difficult. Also it’s hard to find yourself when you have others telling you who you are and who you are supposed to be. These two put together makes it extremely hard to find yourself. In James McBride’s memoir The Color of Water, James McBride has conflicting feelings of being biracial illustrates how important it is to know where you came from and who you are in order to move forward in your life.

In the memoir, The Color of Water, James McBride describes his life and interviews his mother. During his life, James faces many obstacles that affect him. A few people who affect his life in his memoir are his mother, stepfather, and The Chicken Man. Some of these are in positive ways and some are in negative.

and green. Blue as discussed earlier was represented as the color of the God and other religious concepts, so the major incorporation of the color blue in the reliquary chasse indicated the spiritual significance it carried. Envisioning blue on the chasse unified people to Jesus Christ. Many of the reliquary chasse of the 12th century narrated a story; this individual one narrates the crucifixion of Christ. There are several key figures engraved throughout the exterior of the chasse, however since the crucial scene of the execution are shown on the front face of the chasse, that indicates that this chasse was primarily to be seen from the front rather than the sides. If viewed from the front, the top has three figures designed on it. In the center is the God the Father and on his either sides are two unknown saints. All three figures are represented in mandorlas however in different colors. The God of Father is displayed in the blue mandorla while the saints are shown in green mandorla. Here we can interpret a sense of hierarchy because the God of Father is shown in blue, which represents a divine color, however the saints are represented in green that is a mix of blue and yellow. So, blue still exists and represents divinity, yet the mixture of blue and yellow to produce a different shade of blue signifies that the God of Father is above and more important than the saints.

My strategy for this negotiation would be to list my achievements, such as punctuality, going above and beyond expectations, as well as assisting employees in other departments. I will allow my supervisor to make the first salary offer. Depending on his offer, I will express that I want a salary that is competitive with the market. My second response would be to give a salary range that I find

I really enjoyed reading Chapter 4 where it talks about how most negotiations can’t end with both parties walking away happy at the same time. In order for both parties to walk away satisfied four obstacles must be overcome. The first obstacle, premature judgment, is a common mistake. You have to be sure to invent different options in order for everyone to walk away happy. The second objective is remembering that there is more than one possible answer. By looking at multiple options it will be easier to come to the best decision. The next objective is the assumption of a fixed pie. If one of my employees comes to me asking for a raise and I can’t give them the full amount then they may think that they are losing the situation. But I can explain to them why we can’t do the full amount and offer to meet them in the middle and provide options in the future on how we can get to their goal. The last objective is thinking that their problem is just their problem. If one of my employees has an issue it automatically becomes my problem. The last thing we as a company need is an angry employee out working for us that isn’t happy with his job.

The answer to what I want however was always limited to a particular dollar value. I would enter negotiations with either a target price given to me by a superior or with a somewhat arbitrary price reduction figure such as achieving a 10% or 20% lower price from the quoted price. While I list this as a strength, I am now aware that narrowing my focus in a negotiation to focusing purely on price also caused me to have a purely distributive approach to ‘dividing the pie.’ I failed to see other possibilities such as expanding the pie and adding value to both my company and potential suppliers. This mindset also means that my ability to create value for both parties in a deal was severely limited.

During the time when polytheistic religions were widely practiced in Europe, colors represented ideas associated with the paranormal and the spiritual. In many cases, the color blue represented safety and protection. It was believed that if someone wore or carried something blue, the bearer would be protected from evil spirits. Over time, as patriarchal societies formed, the welfare of the male child took priority over the welfare of the female child. Since male children were more important, parents surrounded their sons with blue objects. This explains the common association of males and the color blue that exists even in modern society.

Negotiation is a complex process. Fells (2009) defines negotiation as “a process where two [or more] parties with differences which they need to resolve are trying to reach an agreement through exploring for options and exchanging offers” (p.3). For most employers, salary negotiation is standard and expected. For the prospective employee, negotiating a salary and benefits package requires knowledge of negotiation tactics and an understanding of his or her desired outcome. Furthermore, effective negotiation requires the negotiating parties to adapt his or her tactics and approach to the environment (Korobkin, 2014). Negotiating salaries is unique because the stakes are

* Insist on objective criteria: It was very important that we insisted on objective criteria during the negotiation. I asked him the reasons for the hike he was asking for. I also told him the reasons why I could not offer him the hike he was expecting. I was open to him asking me questions and wanted him to be satisfied with what he was being offered. I believe that employee satisfaction is important and it is important that he did not leave the room feeling unsatisfied. I was convinced that a salary hike of around 6 2/3% was too low
