Case 3 Harborco
Preparation Memo 3: Harborco
My Interests and Goals My role in this negotiation is to be the representative from the Federal Department of Coastal Resource (DCR). My agency will be crucial in providing Harboco with Federal funding to help them build their proposed deep-water port off the coast of Seaborne. My agency has placed two priorities will be to ensure federal funds are used for Harborco’s construction project and to ensure that the environment will be maintained and repaired. I am also interested in guaranteeing compensation to nearby ports, having a reasonable diverse industry mix, and allow Harborco to freely staff their deep-water port. The DCR has a dual mandate to provide federal funding and protect the environment. …show more content…
Our agency would prefer that this project improve the environment since it would help win political credibility. Consequently, the DCR will not accept any offer that will harm the environment; we do understand the financial burden these requirements would be placed onto Harborco if they are expected to improve environment from its current state. We will accept any actions that will help maintain and repair any damage this project will undergo Our secondary objectives, compensation to other ports, industry mix, and employment distribution, are not as important as our agency’s primary objectives. Our agency will accept any decisions that will help increase the economic viability of this project. We will use these points as leverage to logroll with the other parties to reach an agreement. For this negotiation, my main targets will be to provide a loan of $1 billion, and for Harborco to improve the environment. Our secondary targets will be to have minimal compensation of $300 million to other ports, have a diverse mix of “clean/dirty” industries, and to have no union employment distribution. My resistance points would be to offer a loan of $2 billion dollars and for Harborco to maintain and fix any damage. My resistance points for my agency’s secondary objectives would be to accept compensation of $450 million, only having clean industry, and having a union quota of
