COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR RICHARD BELL BSL 4160-09A, NEGOTIATION/CONFLICT RESOLUTION CONSULTING ON NEGOTIATION: TEACHING BUSINESS STUDENTS The problem specified in the article is that the author has found that many college students lack the skill in how to negotiate their salary when asked during a job interview or after being hired. If they do know how to negotiate the author often finds that they did not do a very good job with the getting a salary they deserved. The author's recommended solution is listed below: No other factor has had such a direct impact on the success of my consulting business than that of providing resources on salary negotiation. For this reason, I added an activity to my professional business communication class that deals with salary negotiation. What began as a 20-minute discussion in one class is now permanently integrated into the interview exercise and takes three 75-minute class periods. The following is a SWOT Analysis for this case is as follows: After looking at the SWOT Analysis for this article, I find that the author while providing a realistic perspective to her class since was in the "real" world and gives back to her students valuable information need to negotiate a salary they perceive they are worth. I still think that the exercise is somewhat objective in the particular fact the situation...

...Successful negotiation requires compromise from both sides. Both parties should gain certain things, and both parties should lose something. You must be prepared to give up something in which you believe you are entitled. You cannot expect to defeat your opponent or "win" a negotiation via either the energy of your negotiating proficiencies or the forcing coerce of your logic. This is not to say that good negotiating skill is irrelevant. In majority cases, a range of possible results exists. Probably the most critical characteristic of world class negotiators is their ability to understand what it is that all parties to the negotiation want. The ability to see past the 'demands' of your counterparties and really understanding why it is that they are negotiating with you is an essential element that will help you to understand what common ground exists between parties. As we know, negotiation must not be mixed up with persuasion and identifying a winner. Negotiation is finding a solution which is acceptable to all sides involved. Therefore all these skills are essential to successfully negotiate towards a win-win situation for all parties involved. Continuously develop your skills. Not unlike world class performers in professional sport, world class negotiators spend significant time analyzing the way that they negotiate - particularly under pressure. It is only once you have built an understanding of your own weaknesses & strengths that you can implement measures to improve...

...Negotiations Analysis Negotiation Analysis Paper Ivania Castaneda HR595- Keller School of Management March 2013 Introduction Buying a home is a complicated and time consuming process. The purchase of a home is just one of many examples of negotiations that happen in everyday life. It is one of the few places in life where some form of negotiation is the rule rather than the exception. Not all people are effective negotiators. It takes a keen understanding of the process in order to be good at it. This class has provided tools via the review of key concepts and methodology to allow even the not so adept negotiator to be better at negotiating. By informing yourself, preparing, and keeping an objective mind frame we can all use the tools taught in class to become more successful next time a negotiation situation arises. My paper will focus on integrative bargaining. Integrative bargaining (also called "interest-based bargaining," "win-win bargaining") is a negotiation strategy in which parties collaborate to find a "win-win" solution to their situation. This strategy focuses on developing mutually beneficial agreements based on the interests of both parties. This negotiation approach is important because it usually results in more of a positive outcome in contrast to distributive bargaining. The first step in integrative bargaining is identifying each side's interests. Although distributive bargaining is frequently seen as the opposite of integrative bargaining, the two...

The school board has created a plan for the students as the school is not large enough to accommodate each and every one of them. They have hired experts to redraw school boundaries to be submitted for the following year. Upsetting many students as they will not be able to stay at their present school, several parents have voiced opinions based upon the school district proposed plan. Most of the parents are concerned about the quality of education their children will receive, increased travel time, crossing economic and cultural boundaries, affect on property values, and social effects on children. With the following reasons against the proposed plan, I will address all of the stakeholders and their concerns. This paper will also discuss a developed plan to address stakeholders’ concerns as well as the negotiation strategy used to support the school board’s need to redraw the boundaries with the concerns of the stakeholders. Lastly, the paper will explain how ethics and culture affect the decisions. There are many stakeholders in this situation with the students being redrawn from their current school. The students, school officials, staff, teachers, school district,...

...Negotiation Exercise 2 PM598 – Contract and Procurement Management 12/10/2011 The negotiation experience that I would like to discuss occurred between the T-Mobile customer support group and me. The negotiation was concerning the switch of my mobile cell phone plan from one mobile carrier to another. The switch would allow me to take advantage of a corporate discount provided by my employer. The contract with T-Mobile was ending and I called to advise that I would not be renewing the contract and I would like to port my telephone number to another mobile carrier. T-Mobile was advised that the second line on the contract was to be terminated and it would not be ported to Verizon. The contract negotiation consists of planning, conducting the negotiation and documenting the negotiation and forming the contract. The first step of the negotiation consisted of planning the steps to verify the existence of a contacting with T-Mobile and to see if there is a contract end date. Communicate and conduct the negotiation instructions for the contract end, confirm the contract for termination fees and line porting fees. Confirm a verbal contract with T-Mobile that indicates contract end date and the early termination fees. T-Mobile confirmed that the lines could be ported or terminated. I advised that I wanted to port the primary telephone line to Verizon and terminate the second telephone line on the account. T-Mobile confirmed that there would be not early termination...

...NFL Referee Lockout Gerardo Coronado Professor Hinderacker Negotiation The NFL (National Football League) has currently locked-out the NFL Referees’ Association from officiating football games until they can negotiate and agree on a new collective bargaining agreement. The dispute is of course concerning money and both parties wanting more than their fair share of the pie. Both parties are and have not been able to see eye to eye, which is making the negotiations even tougher. This paper will provide a brief background of the dispute and will also analyze the negotiation from each participant’s side over the span of the ongoing ten-month negotiation. The NFL Referees’ Association attempted to contact the NFL in March of 2010 to begin negotiations, but the NFL offices never responded to those attempts. Negotiations between both parties officially began in October of 2011. Seven months before the Referees’ collective bargaining agreement expired on May 31st 2012. Negotiations between the two groups are currently still at a stand still. According to Mike Arnold, the lead negotiator for the NFL Referees’ Association, “their (NFL’s) view seems to be, ‘if this thing’s going to settle, it’s going to settle on our terms’”(Waldron). Arnold also stated, “They locked us out. We’ve been serious, made major concessions, and have been willing to negotiate. But all they’ve told us is to take it or leave it.” He also added, “It takes two sides to negotiate. We’re prepared, we’re ready...

...The purpose of this forum is for you to have the opportunity to role-play an actual negotiation session with the goal of developing a collective bargaining agreement. The specific topic to be negotiated is related to employee safety. In this forum, the instructor will divide the class into two teams. One team will represent management and the other will represent labor. Note: The groups will be switched in Module Five for a similar activity to give students a chance to represent each side. First, watch the accompanying video to get each side’s perspective on the issue. Your instructor has provided a rough framework of a collective bargaining agreement in the resources section for this module that provides some detail on the issue and how the agreement is currently worded. This will serve as the starting point for your negotiations. After watching the video, each team should immediately research the topic and use the discussion board to collaboratively craft the language in the agreement to favor their position. This initial language must be posted by Thursday of this week at the latest. Then, teams should begin using the discussion board forum as a negotiating platform and role-play a dialogue with the opposing side in order to come to an agreement on the specific language required in the agreement. The object is to rewrite the agreement with wording that addresses the issue in a way that each side is satisfied with the gains and concessions. The collective agreement...
