Overcoming Barriers to Integrative Negotiation

Follow the instructions to complete this assignment:

1. Think about a negotiation in which you are currently engaged. Are you considering buying or selling a house or a large consumer good? Are you in negotiations with your boss or organization regarding work assignments, flexible scheduling, salary, growth opportunities, or other work-related issues? Are you in ongoing negotiations with a teenage son or daughter or another family member about boundaries and expectations? Pick something that is real and that is challenging to you.
2. Now, consider how effective you felt the last time you negotiated with this individual or the last time you negotiated a similar issue. What barriers are preventing you from engaging in an integrative negotiation process with this person? Look back at Chapter 12 and consider the various barriers discussed. Is the other party dealing with a genuine impasse? Is he or she refusing to negotiate with you? Is he or she a hard bargainer or playing dirty tricks? Whatever the situation, evaluate the barrier, return to the negotiation, and apply the specific strategy that may help you overcome the barrier to achieving a positive outcome. Even if the outcome is not successful for you, learn what you can from the experience for the next time you negotiate.
