Negotiation
Recently I began a negotiation with respect to buying some tickets on Craigslist -- sorry, I don't have one relating to work right now. The parties were myself and the seller. The goal was for me to get two tickets at the lowest possible price. I did not need to attend the sporting event; it was entirely optional, so that was one of the interests that I had. I also needed to contain the cost because I do not have the means to just pay any price. The seller's interest was to extract value from a perishable good. The seller has tickets for which money has been paid, and it was the desire of the seller to sell those tickets for more than was paid. There was a relatively limited supply of these tickets on Craigslist, but there was enough to create at least a somewhat competitive market.
I opened the negotiation by expressing interest in the product, and...
The seller came back with an offer, and I responded with a counteroffer. The counteroffer was accepted. The process took about an hour. Then, we worked out the final details.

Negotiations for 2007 Kia Optima in Fair Condition I entered into negotiations with my father for the purchase of his 2007 Kia Optima to be used by my son, Adam. My father was aware that I would be using this negotiation to fulfill a requirement for this class, but it was also a true negotiation for the purchase of the car. From the research that I did, a buyer from a
Negotiation A Few Days in the Sun We are all familiar with the process of negotiation: We have each been engaging in negotiations since we were young children asking to stay up just five more minutes before going to bed. However, despite the fact that by the time that we are adults we have each engaged in probably thousands of negotiations, few people have ever stopped to analyze exactly what goes on
Another surprising feature of our negotiations was the lack of back-and-forth collaboration and dialogue. In short, we did not engage in integrative bargaining or dynamic negotiation. I simply spat out my asking price based on what I had expected to receive based on the BATNA. Forgetting the condition of the engine and the other possible features my partner valued when he did spend time looking under the hood, I failed
Negotiation Police Labor Conflict in Boston: Summer 2004 This report aims to discuss a recent negotiation that occurred in the city of Boston in June of 2004. As the 2004 election comes to a close and as of this writing we still have no official winner for the office of President of the United States. The Democratic Party is patiently awaiting the results of the vote from the state of Ohio. But
Negotiation skills are important for various situations in life. Acquiring these skills early in life greatly reduces the chance that one will be taken advantage of by unscrupulous individuals. Negotiation skills can be used in the business environment as well as everyday life. For these reasons there is great value placed on having negotiations skills. The purpose of this discussion is to explain the use of negotiations in the context
Negotiation Planning The negotiation involved where to go on a one-month vacation with my partner. She wanted to go somewhere warm, with beaches, and stay in a resort. I wanted to go to a European city and do a lot of cultural activities. We need to purchase our plane tickets and book accommodations soon, which is why a negotiation is in order. To plan for this negotiation, I prepared a set of web
