2 Quarter One: Assignment 2 Question 1 Distributive bargaining operates under the assumption of a predetermined quantity of negotiable resources, where one side aims to secure a much larger portion than the other. Both parties want to get the most favorable outcome for themselves. Question 2 The rationality method utilizes rational and logical information to appeal to the opposing party's logical reasoning. The ingratiation method involves presenting oneself as nice to the other party to enhance their receptiveness and willingness to accept your ideas. Coalition building involves the negotiator establishing an alliance with others when they perceive a lack of sufficient bargaining power, enhancing their influence through collective strength. Quid pro quo is a negotiation approach that operates on the principle of reciprocity, where one party agrees to provide a favor or benefit in exchange for receiving a blessing or benefit in return. Upward appeal is a strategic approach that entails seeking the endorsement or backing of someone in a higher position. The assertiveness method entails adopting a strong and persuasive approach to advocate for your views, persistently presenting them until others are persuaded that your ideas are a superior choice. Implementing sanctions is a forceful strategy that leverages authority to attain the intended outcome. Question 3 Hardball tactics are employed to compel the opposing side to yield. To adequately prepare for such a negotiation, it is essential to possess a comprehensive understanding of various negotiating strategies, encompassing both advantageous and disadvantageous approaches. An effective strategy for countering aggressive negotiation is to proactively establish
3 a friendly rapport with the opposing side before the negotiations. Individuals are less inclined to exploit someone whom they perceive as a friend. Another strategy for countering aggressive methods is to pretend to be uninformed or to show comprehension. Suppose the opposing party perceives that their intimidation tactics are ineffective due to your lack of understanding. In that case, they can choose to cease their efforts while in a favorable position. Question 4 The identification of value, the desired target, and resistance points, as well as the establishment of the opening offer, collectively shape the parameters of the negotiation and significantly influence its final outcome. Each of them plays a crucial part in determining the overall outcome of the agreement, whether it succeeds or fails.
