Assignment:
Preparing for Negotiations and Distributive Bargaining
After completing the required background readings, answer the following questions:
1. Calling to mind a workplace conflict that was negotiated (or researching an organizational conflict), what specific preparations can you identify? (It is OK to use the same conflict from Case 1 here, and expand upon it using the new questions below).
2. What else could have/should have been done to best prepare?
3. How did the bargaining play out? (Be as specific as possible.)
4. What was the outcome for each side? What was achieved, and/or what was left unresolved on the table?
5. What specific changes could you recommend to improve the process of resolving this conflict?
