What is Negotiation? “is an interactive communication process that may take place whenever we want something from someone else or another person wants something from us” OR “is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching joint agreement about differing needs or ideas” OR “is a decision-making process by which two or more people agree how to allocate scarce resources”

Power in Negotiation • Power is the ability to influence another person or organization • Sources of negotiation power: • Informational • Reward • Coercive • Legitimate • Expert • Referent
Win-Win Negotiation Win-lose negotiation • Two or more parties are competing over a fixed value with the winner taking the larger share • Also known as a zero-sum or fixed-sum game (if one party gains, it is only at the expense of the other party) Win-win negotiation • Seeks to expand the value or resources available to all participants through collaborative negotiation • Also know as integrative bargaining
Win-Win Negotiation Characteristics of Win-Lose and Win-Win Negotiation
International Negotiation • Negotiations with suppliers located literally anywhere on the globe take on added complexity and challenge when the parties have different languages, customs, laws and cultures • Important considerations in negotiating a global sourcing agreement is culture shock • Requires additional planning and preparation to be successful
