    In preparing for my Oceania negotiation I had to prepare myself to take on the role of the general sales manager for POP Productions. In doing so I read the role of the general sales manager and all the information that would be influencing and guiding my negotiation with the general manager of Windy City Theater about bringing in my Polynesian musical called Oceania. I read and analyzed this information multiple times until I had a complete understanding of the situation I was about to be submerged in and the responsibilities/duties I was obligated to fulfill. After completing this task and recognizing what my goals were I had to decide what strategy and type of negotiation I should use in order to plan appropriately and arrive at the goals assigned to me by POP Production. It was made clear that my goal was to structure a contract/deal with Windy City Theater that would outline an agreement concerning profit sharing of the box office tickets, salary amounts paid to my cast and crew, and who would be responsible for lodging/board costs. Having a lot of criteria and alternatives revolving around these three negotiable components, it created a wide range of bargaining mixes. With further research and exploration of information regarding WCT it was obvious that I did not have a clear understanding of their exact goals and priorities when it came to hosting a show in their theatre. Recognizing this blind spot and the importance to keep a positive and healthy relationship for the possibility of future business (Bugles); I decided to choose collaborative negotiation that would aim to create a settlement that fully satisfies all parties. After conceptualizing the information and present situation it had clearly outlined the necessary conditions that characterize collaborative negotiation and reinforced my theory that I was heading…

    In the realm of argumentation and debate many debaters negotiate their point of views in front of people all the time. Debates are basically distributive bargaining situations where debaters utilize selective presentation to try and win their arguments. This paper will define what a distributive bargaining situation is and secondly, this written discourse will define the technique of selective presentation. Furthermore, this paper will also discuss the definition of power, and the role power plays in negotiation. To elaborate on distributive bargaining situations and the use of selective presentation, I will use two arguments from a debate between James Carville, Jr., a liberal political commentator and professor at Tulane University, and S.E. Cupp, a republican political commentator, writer, and Ivey League socialite. The arguments originally specified by the republican commentator S.E. Cupp, stated “President Obama did not received the same microscope treatment that President Bush received from the media, congress, and the Senate;” and “raising taxes will not create more jobs, cutting taxes will create more jobs because businesses are job creators.” These two arguments will be used to show how selective presentation is applied in intellectual distributive bargaining situations.…

    To accomplish this out-of-class task, I first figured out what to buy and where to buy it. I looked up the Google maps and tried to find a right store to do the negotiation. I ruled out restaurants, supermarkets and some chain stores like Starbucks, because they offer a fixed price and they have policies on the prices. Finally I found a flower store near my house called Alice Flowers. After visiting their websites (Surprisingly, they have their own website), I decided to buy a table plant. I searched the Internet to try to find an approximate average price for table plants. I found that Amazon offers the cheapest price – around 30 dollar. The price from other online flower shop are much higher than 30, some are more than 70. Before leaving for my destination, I put 40 dollars cash in my pocket.…
