· Read Chapter 8: “Interpersonal Negotiation” in Interpersonal Conflict.
In this chapter, Hocker & Wilmot discuss several different assumptions regarding negotiation. According to the authors, it is important to realize that you engage in negotiation in a variety of situations, often without fully recognizing that we are in the midst of negotiating with others. They argue that, in order to be more successful negotiators, you must first assess the power dynamics in negotiations and, if possible, seek to equalize power. They also describe the differences between competitive and collaborative negotiation and the possible outcomes of each. Finally, the authors explore the stages of negotiation and how an understanding of these stages can lead to negotiation success or failure.
· As you read this chapter, begin to identify several negotiation situations that you have experienced recently but may not have called them negotiation. Also consider the ways in which you use either competitive or collaborative negotiation in those (and other) situations.
· There are at least two primary perspectives on negotiation that may be understood according to their topic, relationship, identity, and process: Collaborative negotiation and Competitive negotiation.
