Pulchara Negotiation

IntroductionThis is paper seeks to analyze and discuss the departs of a simulated negotiation between two nations which are Pulchara and Veritas. This researcher represented Pulchara as Deputy unconnected Minister of Economic personal business to negotiate with the Diego, as the First Secretary for International Legal Affairs from Veritas on issues of allowance cause by legal injuryd to Pulcharas farmers crops caused by a chemical pesticide DS-30 leakage from a chemical plant in Veritas that had adversely affected large tracts of Pulchran farmland.After the negotiation, there is a good ground to right off watch analysis whether there is basis to sustain of the application of tools that this researcher has learned in secernate to a deeper understanding of the negotiation. The analysis therefore basically as ask reason for the working of negotiation tactics apply in the case and wells as the finding the reasons for the dissolvener having been able to stripe the frame more e ffectively than me.Using evidence of what really happened in the negotiation as well sensible references this paper allow try to revisit what happened in the preparatory phrase including the sort of preparation and what system did developed. Included also are the applications of the concept of BATNA, target point, resistance point, position, chase and positions, anchors during entry phrase. In addition, news extend to framing preferred and applied by the parties, shaping the end game after the basic suitments and whether special topics on culture, gender power, personality, communication, or other thematic issues did play in the negotiation. A expiry on the analysis made will form to end the paper.The preparatory somaAt the preparatory phase, I indispensable to eff what I wanted to have for my country and that is to yieldd by Veritas within an amount I believed that is fair sufficient within a certain predetermined range of figures. As the representative of Pulchra I ap proached this negotiation with a Calculus-based trust. I depended on a history of cordial relationship with the Veritas and hoped they will reciprocate. I entangle as if I did non have a great BATNA, because winning the election was master(prenominal) concern, and it can only happen if Diego of Veritas spills out the money. I went in with my Resistance Point at 50 jillion and Optimal point at ampere-second million.I prove my negotiation with Diego very peaceful and respectful. I ran into a trouble when I could not explain why we cannot export the damage crops in a time of emergency. I have explained to him that the crops were destroyed by the farmers according to our legislation. He argued that they could have been exported to other part of the parts of the world, and our policy states no import everyplace 4ppm.Diego stated that he can only compensate for the 300,000 mt because it went over 12ppm. I could not get him to come to 800,000mt. I became a little emphasized and exp ressed signs of disrespect when he hug druged 300,000mt for one hundred twenty-five/mt which comes at 37.5 million. Showing signs of a salesman, he offered 500000mt for 125/mt expressing that the farmers are interested in their inflated price of 125/mt, and agreeing to this agreement will build up all of us happy. He explained deal comes out at 62.5 million and endureing that congress will reimburse them will 50 million which will come out as 112.5 million, this being over their original demand of 100 million. I guess Diego knew that I do not have a good BATNA and that he knew that what is authorised to me is that I got the farmers compensatedThe use of BATNAMy BATNA (Spangler, 2003) was to walk out of the negotiation is to bring the boot of the farmers to the international courts and have Veritas pay the higher or actual amount if the Diego will not agree within my Resistance Point at 50 million and Optimal point at 100 million USD. Veritas BATNA was clear as Diego was able t o parlay on the table ways to hit the roof the pie when he has olfactory sensation that I was losing respect when he started his offer to paying 300 mt at close 37.5 million USD. Veritas spot was able to anchor on his belief that my government would be ready comme il faut to give 50 million USD from the act of legislature.The use of framingAs to the use of framing by either side it may be stated that the other sides preferred frame is the further expanding the pie as Diego saw my limited options. With his knowledge that I am interested to have that $100M as compensation of the damage for $800M, he as was brave to say that I could get the part of the amount the from my government. I know that knowing the interest behind my position (Fisher and Ury, 1981) taken is more important in negotiation.This I came to know after I have revealed the experience of a country who found it difficult to pay after they found the effort was not made to have the commitment of the responsible count ry to have at least promised some compensation. I realized telling Diego a part of my BATNA world worse than it should have been. This happened because Diego perceived that my BATNA is worse than I thought. He used power in the conflicts (Coleman, 2000).Between the two of the negotiator I feel Diego was more persuasive since he seemed to have prepared more for the negotiation up to what direct I would be anchoring the negotiation. He seemed to know my asking price. Since his country is basically admitting responsibility he was in a sense to be finding the best criteria to base this countrys liability. I found that I basically told him what is my interest and he seemed to have read it easily and thus the negotiation was not as difficult as I had expected.The main negotiationAs to the main negotiation, it may be asked What tactics were used by both sides? Was it more collaborative or warlike (or did it switch over the course of the negotiation, and how)? why were these tactics effec tive or not?In response to the questions, I guess both of us applied the collaborative approach (Weber, and Khandemian, 1997 Meiners and Miller, 2004) as I started with the negotiation by approaching this negotiation with a Calculus-based trust. Having depended on a history of cordial relationship with the Veritas and with my big hope that they will reciprocate, I in truth set the stage for a very collaborative instead of competitive one.This researcher believes that the tactics employed were effective enough because we chose to expand the pie instead of taking a hard-line position in the negotiation. I was looking forward to the election of the President of my country and who continued stay will also accompaniment my long-term in office as government official and a representative of my country on issues of international dealings like the negotiations I had.As to endgame stage of the negotiation, the following questions may be asked erst we had some agreement on the main points, o r a first agreement, how did the remaining points play up, and what brought us the negotiators to the final deal? Did we try any nibbles or other tactics in this phase? How well did they work?What has kept the negotiation proceeding well, I believe, is based on our giving overmuch importance to our relationships is friends and this has led the negotiation proceeding almost very smoothly. With Diego understanding the destruction of the farmers would be important to my country and his countrys readiness to respond to the need by ad admission of the result of the damage, the issue was more the amount of the compensation.We conducted the negotiation in a relatively peaceful and friendly milieu where we feel we could just make thing free flowing. Diego as I said has the marking of salesman since from his offer of compensating only 300,000 metric tons of the crops which had effectively raised by blood pressure because the amount of compensation would be below my walk away price of 50 m illion, he was magnanimous and friendly enough to bring it into 500,000 and thereby sending the amount of 62.5 million USD.He capped it by saying that 50 million could be coming from my countrys legislature and that would exceed the 100 million being demanded by the farmers.I guess, there is wisdom in what Diego did in jumping from 300,000 metric tons to 500,000 tons as a sign of building greater business relationship with the offer of buying the my countrys farmers products for the next five historic period. Diego again I suppose know my BATNA and he sensed that my countrys farmers have limited options where to sell the products.Although a bit satisfied, I felt I should fish for more disgraced crops. I insisted that he should compensate for the damage of at least 600,000 mt for the market price of 115/mt. I tried to cajole him into our friendship in the past and that I have to explain the farmers why I cannot compensate for more of damaged crops. They complied according to our la w and damaged crops is 800,000 mt not 500,000 mt, which you party is culpable of. He was resolute some his offer, but did bend a little by offering to buy more crops from us in the future, which came about 5 years agreement. I could not set the price of future crops with him due to shortage of timeThe relevance of culture, gender power, personality, communication, or other thematic issues in negotiationAs to whether culture, gender power, personality, communication, or other thematic issues play in this negotiation, I believe they have played a part to the extent how one negotiator feels about the other. Diegos personality was that of sales man and so was I. We felt there was better reason to agree on many things despite the conflict than walking out of the negotiation.ConclusionTo conclude, it may be stated that I felt if I was a little aggressive in the beginning and showed more of a concern about the election, and Verities has no option but to help us out with 100million. By exp ressing that it is in both Presidents interest that we win the election and dictating that there will be no compromise in the 800000mt damaged, especially from a friendly nation. Most likely my deal would have closed with much higher offer than 62.5 million. I still would not have a threat approach, by challenging them to the Nuclear charge. I feel cooperative approach is the only way to go.This experience has also proved to this researcher the importance of frame, the world-shattering role played by having BATAN, anchoring ones argument of what may deemed fair that could further expand the pie as well the greater benefit in collaborative negotiation rather a competitive one.ReferencesColeman.
