INTRODUCTION

The negotiator is someone who negotiates (confers with others in order to reach a settlement), a communicator (a person who communicates with others), a go-between, intercessor, intermediator, mediator (a negotiator who acts as a link between parties), a bargainer (negotiator of the terms of a transaction), a compromiser (a negotiator willing to compromise), a holdout (a negotiator who hopes to gain concessions by refusing to come to terms), a representative (a person who represents others) and a settler (a negotiator who settles disputes). Therefore, in the present essay I tried to integrate the most important aspects of a negotiator as follows: In the first Chapter I offered some definitions of the negotiation process, then I listed the types of negotiation, that are distributive (the negotiation in which things are shared between the partners) and integrative (the negotiation where partners prefer to form relationship in order to meet the targets). In Chapter 2, I

The De Janasz chapter on negotiations describes two distinct approaches to bargaining: a “distributive bargaining strategy” and an “integrative bargaining strategy.” Describe at least one key difference between these two strategies. Then, describe an actual or hypothetical situation where adapting a distributive bargaining strategy would make the most sense (and why), as well as one where adopting an integrative bargaining strategy would make the most sense (and why).…

    Getting to YES, Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In is an excellent book that discusses the best methods of negotiation. The book is divided into three sections that include defining the problem, the method to solve it, and possible scenarios that may arise when using these methods. Each section is broken down into a series of chapters that is simple to navigate and outlines each of the ideas in a way that is easy for any reader to comprehend. There are also several real life explanations for each issue that make the concepts easier to apply and understand. These ideas are reflective of a method developed by the Harvard Negotiation Project called “principled negotiation”. This method combines the two ideas of soft and hard negotiation in a way that looks at the negotiation objectively and separates the negotiator from the issue. By looking at the negotiation and separating personally from it, the best outcomes for both parties are likely to occur. To further explain, below is an outline of the principled negotiation method divided in the same manner as the text with real life applications of these methods and how they can benefit my professional life personally.…

    Some researchers have suggested that in negotiations, collaborative style is the most effective, but the truth is that it may be too overbearing for the negotiations (Brett, 1984). While collaborating, one is most often to share all the information to arrive at a satisfactory solution. However, information is rarely shared until trust is established. As a result, negotiators adopt a cautiously collaborative style in the beginning, slowly trying to find out whether the other party will share the information that it knows. This also helps build trust (Fells, 1993). If trust is not established, negotiators shift to the win-lose style of negotiation from the win-win style, there by trying to maximize their returns.…

    The first step in any negotiation process involves understanding the issue at hand. This step often takes place before the two parties enter into formal talks. Each side must come into the negotiations with a clear idea of what the conflict is and what he wants to gain from the proceedings. The next step is for each side to present his case. This involves explaining what the individual’s goal is, what he wants to gain, and what he is willing to offer up in return. Both sides must listen to each other for the negotiations to proceed successfully. The final step in the negotiation process is fulfilling the agreement. In more complex negotiations, the solution may be a more long term commitment, or a working partnership between two parties.…

    Over the past 8 weeks there has been a lot that I have learned about myself as a person with inner reflection in my negotiation style. Negotiation is a skill that I thought people have to be born with. Although people can be born better suited with negotiation skills; the skill is also a craft that can be taught and learned. People must be able to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and build off their strengths to become a better negotiator. Lewicki, Saunders and Barry (2011) state that while some people may look like born negotiators, negotiation is fundamentally a skill involving analysis and communication that everyone can learn. I think that the questionnaires that I took really amplified what I need to work on as a negotiator. Negotiation is a part of everyday life for everyone, in home life and in personal life and becoming a better negotiator can impact our lives positively in both. This paper will reflect and summarize what I learned about myself doing both questionnaires and how I plan on improving my negotiation skills using this class going forward.…
