Journal Entry 3 Alpha – Beta Exercise Beta Group BACKGROUND The name of this negotiation exercise is ALPHA-BETA. The goal of this negotiation is to stay within character and gain as much information from the other side as possible. The uncertainties confronted were how to lead the negotiation as a Betan. The skills that we will try to exhibit are trying to embody the style and culture of the Betans. Our opponents, Alpha Inc., were prepared with their demands. They seemed to have researched our culture and were not susceptible to them. We did not reach a settlement, our goal was to remain in character and gather as much information as possible. ANALYSIS Our BATNA for this simulation was 4 different models, 250 units to be …show more content…
The face saving behavior that was displayed was when we offered to pay for a limo and hotel for Alpha so that we have more time. POST NEGOTIATION REFLECTION In this negotiation, we learned that it is important to research your opponent, to understand their culture, not only of their country or backgrounds, but also their company culture. When we are able to understand our opponent’s way of thinking about business and doing business we can then understand how to approach a negotiation situation with them. In this exercise, we learned that it is difficult for us to adjust when it involves breaking or acting in a way opposite of what we are accustomed to. We also learned that although my classmates live in the same country as we do, their upbringings may have similarities to their origin country and will therefore help them to communicate and adjust to that country’s norms and standards. We were surprised how we were able to stay in character although it was hard and it was surprising how people responded when they were unaware of your intentions and strategies. If we had to do this exercise again, what we can do is do more research on our opponents so that we would have an idea of what to expect in the negotiation table. LAST ENTRY By taking this course, we have learned the different types of negotiations and the strategies to be used in
Throughout the lecture and my prior knowledge, I identified that the influence tactics are obviously relevant to negotiation and they can be utilized in a variety of ways in negotiation. Looking back the activity, it enabled me to have a better understanding of these important techniques and skills as certain tactics my opponents and I may use were examined at the negotiating table.
The nursing metaparadigm concepts described by Fawcett (as cited in McEwen & Willis, 2011), are a primary phenomena of interest to a discipline, which identifies globally by ways in which, nursing can deal with those phenomena in a distinctive and applicable manner. The functional aspects of the meta-paradigm according to Kim (as cited in McEwen & Willis, 2011), involve a combination of intellectual and
1. The researchers found a significant difference between the two groups (control and treatment) for change in mobility of the women with osteoarthritis (OA) over 12 weeks with the results of F(1, 22) = 9.619, p = 0.005. Discuss each aspect of these results.
An example given is the concept of date rape, which the intent of rape which does not have different meanings, but it is to distinguish the serious types of rape within the category of rape behavior that is not rape. A proof described is the young star of “The Wonder Years,” Fred Savage who at the time was sixteen years old experienced a case with sexual harassment by a former staffer of the show, Monique Long, who claimed that Savage repeatedly asked her to have an affair with him and touched her by her holding her hand. Another case involved was with Jason Harvey who was another actor who had harassed the same woman for two years on the show as a costume designer and at one instance touching her in a sexual way. These proofs show that sexual harassment can be interpreted into many ways.
2. Which of the following values from Table 1 tells us about variability of the scores in a distribution?
Prepare responses to the questions below after viewing the Negotiation Strategy and Tactics Tutorial in this week's lecture. In drafting your answers to the questions, make sure that you apply course concepts in your answers.
1. Discuss the stages in the negotiation process and how culturally-based valuesystems influence these stages. Specifically, address the following:
5. Often there are other parties to a negotiation that can add great complexity to the process. Define the following terms: Negotiating Dyad; Agent; Constituency; Bystander; Audience. What are some of the reasons that an individual might engage the services of an agent to represent him/her in a negotiation? (Discuss at least three) What are the three distinct relationships that an Agent has to maintain in the negotiation process?
Negotiation is viewed differently across various cultures. While many Americans view the process of negotiation as competitive, the Asian community is more likely to view negotiation as a means of information sharing (Lewicki, Barry, & Saunders, 2010). I have found that many Americans generally view the negotiation process as being a distributive process and can be assertive when it comes to negotiation. Some cultures view negotiation as either distributive or integrative. There are several different managerial perspectives in how culture can influence negotiation.
How does culture affect behavior during negotiation in general and the different stages involved? Critically evaluate this link and assess its importance for international managers. Throughout your answer, refer to at least two contrasting cultures of your choice, and cite relevant theories and examples from international
An effective business negotiation is very significant in achieving a successful business relationship. As the businesses expand globally, so do the conflicts between the interacting parties. These conflicts only get amplified if the interacting parties are from different cultural background. An individual 's cultural background plays a big role in his perception, which affects his judgment, motivation and behavior at the bargaining table. The perception of an individual is the manifestation of the deeper held values and beliefs he has grown up with. In short, culture affects the whole negotiating process. A better
This report will be assessing the strategies and approaches taken in three different negotiation exercises. There will be a particular focus on preparation of strategies, reflection of events, self development and application of strategies for future exercises. Each negotiation was completed in a group environment and the application of strategies differed based on attendance of different group members.

After went through all the learning material and learning journals each week, I learned many useful skills that deal with the conflict, and during negotiations. I found that negotiators have a good overall quality, pre-negotiation should be finishing up their grooming, dress should be clean formal, solemn. The first impression is very important to contact the negotiations, and conversation to create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere of the talks as well. Negotiations at the beginning of an important task is to find out each other 's ins and outs, so to carefully listen to each other talk, carefully observe each other manners facial expressions, and provide appropriate responses, both to understand the other 's intentions, but also show respect and courtesy.
The negotiation skills workshop gave me both theoretical and pragmatic skills in negotiation. Beginning with informal multilateral negotiation in groups was a good way to start and break the ice among participants. The theoretical part on political
