Real World Negotiation Background: Being an international student, when I opened up a bank account I didn’t have a social security number. I wasn’t offered a credit card to start with, when I asked for one they explained me how they can only give me a secured card only. Without sufficient research of other offers and service providers I committed to a secured card worth $500. I was informed they would keep reviewing my account and payments periodically and graduate me to an unsecured card if found…

A young man and a car: A reflection on a real life negotiation In America, buying your first car is a rite of passage. From a young age, with driver’s licenses years down the road, children begin fantasizing about what car they will drive when they’re old enough. The same was true for me.

For my real life negotiation assignment, I went to Auffenberg Pre-Owned Center in Belleville. I have never bought a car before, nor witnessed anyone buy one, so this was an entirely new experience for me. I chose to negotiate for a car for two reasons. First, I can’t negotiate for something more typical – like a raise or lower rent – because of my circumstances.

There was not a real choice for the parents unless they researched on their own and use a different method of negotiation. However, the parents kept the negotiation method as explained by Fisher and Ury (2011), “the soft negotiation game emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining a relationship” (p. 9). They knew that if they were unsuccessful while defending their claims, the district could not pay Jerry’s education. However, they did not know all the rights that they had available…
