...and Personality in Negotiation Communication and Personality in Negotiation Negotiations occur on a daily basis in every part of life. Negotiation occurs in business, non-profit organizations, government branches, legal proceedings among nations, and in personal situations such as marriage, divorce, parenting, and everyday life (Wikipedia, 2012). Negotiations have fundamental characteristics and strategies to promote a successful negotiation. The negotiation process involves two or more parties that try to gain an advantage over the other party when each party reaches an agreement. A simple compromise is the sole outcome of a negotiation. Some major differences between two competing philosophies of negotiation There is negotiation by negation, where one side wins everything and the other loses all and creative negotiation where both sides win. Negotiation by negation is also seen as bargaining. Bargaining or haggling is a form of negotiation where the buyer and seller dispute terms or conditions on how the exact nature of a transaction will take place. The final result in this style of negotiation ends in a win lose situation for each party. Negotiation by negation involves the idea only one of the negotiating parties can be the winner. In the creative negotiation approach the ultimate goal is for parties to find a mutual beneficial solution through the negotiation. It can be difficult to reach a solution if the parties involved in the negotiation focus more on getting...

...this problem, however, with negotiation skills training. Such training is beyond the scope of this site; however, many good texts on negotiation are available (summaries of several can be found at http://www.colorado.edu/conflict) and a few particularly useful excerpts are summarized in this online training program. In general, it is useful to know and understand the difference between integrative (or win-win) negotiation strategies and distributive (or win-lose) strategies. Win-win strategies are most useful when it is possible to develop a solution to a problem in which both (or all) sides win, or at least come out ahead of where they would, were the conflict to continue. When this is possible, following the rules of principled negotiation is usually the best approach. When the situation is unavoidably win-lose, however, as it often is (at least in part) in intractable conflicts, then principled negotiation is unlikely to work. In that case, either distributive negotiation (which is much more adversarial) or a needs-based approach (such as analytical problem solving) is more likely to yield success. Do you feel that someone is continually taking advantage of you? Do you seem to have to fight your corner aggressively, or ally with others, to win the resources you need? Or do you struggle to get what you want from people whose help you need, but over whom you have little direct authority? If so, you may need to brush up your win-win negotiation skills. There are different...

...China: Business Do’s and Don’ts Introduction In business, knowing traditions and customs of host countries is paramount when beginning or carrying out negotiations. I find one of our most consistent and influential competitors and business allies to be China. China has for many years been a major contributor in the role of technology. Chinese technology and manufacturers are a huge part of the international trading system in America. In this paper I will discuss cultural differences, negotiation tactics, traditional and non-traditional customs, and attempt to explain effective methods of communication in the business sector of Chinese culture. I will begin by comparing and contrasting the cultures of China and America, and continue, by implementing ideas for effective communication and ways of successfully conducting business with China. China has recently had an economic spike, and was reported in an article in the Huffington Post as doing better now than ever before: “China is still faced with many daunting challenges ranging from corruption to regional income gaps and environmental degradation. But China is indeed better than at any time in its modern history. The country is now the world's largest laboratory for economic, social and political experimentation. There is every reason to believe that China, which has a continuously adaptive political system, will reach its objective of becoming the world's largest economy in a decade's time -- with all the implications...

...Should Follow During a Negotiation "A negotiation is an interactive communication process that may take place whenever we want something from someone else, or another person wants something from us” (Shell, p. 6). In order to have a successful negotiation, there are some guidelines that should be followed in the negotiation of the procurement of the Corporate Transfer Services (CTS). These guidelines include, but are not limited to, setting mutual guidelines and ground rules, ensuring all involved parties are aware of the negotiation process, ensuring all involved parties agree upon a safe, neutral location, free from outside disturbances to hold the negotiation, ensuring every involved party has presented all of their issues, interests, their position (where they stand on the issues) and their intention, ensuring all involved parties provide alternative solutions to the issues at hand and ensuring that a neutral party is taking notes or meeting minutes. Some critical things to remember in any negotiation are to avoid the appearance of being uninformed or overly aggressive and to be careful not to over-negotiate. It’s very important to know when to cut off the discussion. In addition, integrative bargaining should be used, if at all possible, to determine if there is a way for all involved parties to maximize their interests, instead of making a simple 50/50 split. Be sure to separate the issues from the people, regardless of the style of negotiation that each party chooses...

...Managing Negotiation Introduction From reaching an agreement with a large client to bargaining for a higher starting salary, the ability to negotiate effectively is a critical component of success in business. One fundamental aspect of a negotiation is if it will be approached as distributive bargaining or as an integrative negotiation. Distributive bargaining is a competitive, zero-sum negotiation in which there are a limited amount of resources available, while integrative negotiation takes place when “the parties’ goals are not seen as mutually exclusive and in which the focus is on making it possible for both sides to achieve their objectives” (Nelson and Quick 2009). For example, a dispute over land would necessitate distributive bargaining, whereas a partnership between two firms to buy and sell a product could be made through integrative negotiation. The process of two or more parties reaching a joint decision is influenced by a variety of factors. In analyzing business negotiation, we will first give an overview of past scholarly research on the topic, and then explore more current mental models of negotiation. We will also examine the possible hurdles to reaching agreements posed by cross cultural differences, particularly between American and Chinese business people. Finally, we discuss the relative importance of BATNAs (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) and contributions in the bargaining process. History of Negotiation Research In the 1960’s...

...Introduction This report analyzes the cross-cultural negotiations happening between Australia and China through organizational business transactions. With today’s modern trades, negotiators aim to attain a “win-win” situation between one another under a rational and wholesome environment. It is a necessity for multinational corporations to have a cross-cultural based management. Differences of cultures across the globe would induce large organizations to embrace themselves with a variety of counter strategies, as it can majorly impact the firm’s performances if left unattended. Hofstede (1983) established that the differences between each nation create diversity, which exist in various aspects mainly: Power distance, uncertainty avoidance, Individualism, masculinity and long term versus short-term orientation. These factors implement the approaches from which a nation converse with the other healthily creating little to no conflict. ‘Why China plays hardball’ article presents the different business cultures which are dealt between Australia and China. Through analyzing the article, we may compare the issues of culture between the nations. Cultural biases Ethnocentrism is an assumption that one’s way is the best way of doing and all other possibilities are not relevant under no matter whatever conditions applied (Deresky & Christopher 2012). Within this article, it implements the hard facts of global corporations joining the Chinese market in creating a term of collaborative...
