Negotiation Mastery

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST———————————->

——There are two components to this mastery assignment: (1) a team exercise completed by you and your assigned negotiation partner, and (2) a written analysis of the exercise to be completed by each learner. 

  

Unit 2 Exercise (Team): You will be placed with a partner to discuss a negotiation that you will be facing in the future. After reading Exercise 4: Planning for Negotiations (see p. 517 of Negotiations: Readings, Exercises, and Cases, 7th ed.) and required readings for the negotiation, present your thoughts about your own negotiation preparation according to the outline in the student manual and take notes of the feedback offered by your teammate. Take notes about your teammates presentation, offer feedback, and make notes about the feedback that offered. Be prepared to complete an individual follow up paper presenting and critiquing your own and your teammates original thoughts on negotiation preparation and the feedback that was offered. 

Unit 2 Analysis (Individual Assignment): Prepare an analysis of your teammates and your own negotiation preparation with the feedback you have received and provided after you have completed the exercise, incorporating a minimum of three citations from course reading. Write this analysis from the perspective of what has been learned from the readings and how you applied these principles to the assessment.   Note: Each learner must prepare their own analysis paper; do not collaborate with the other team members on the paper.

Conclusions must be well reasoned and supported with at least 5 citations from the course readings. The analysis should be a minimum of 750 words in APA format, excluding the title page and references. Be sure to follow the guidelines outlined in the grading rubric.
