Negotiations

Negotiation
  • universal practice (i.e. agendas, bargaining, power persuasion)
  • how/technique – is related to culture (bargaining behavior, transaction evaluation, resolving conflict, making tradeoffs)

Bring our own experiences as negotiators to the process.
Have our own theories about success.
Becoming a better negotiator is about understanding where you come from and improve your performance.
  • Self-assessment
  • Identification of applicable skills
  • Putting ideas into practice

Awareness needed
  • Awareness of context and environment
  • Awareness of process and structure
  • Stages of development
  • Agendas and creation
  • Physical setting
  • Time resources
  • Roles
  • Sub-activities
  • Communication exchange and evaluation
  • Argumentation and persuasion and relationship making
  • Self-awareness of one’s own individual behavior
