 1. Intra-Team Negotiation

The negotiation within the team was very difficult because at times there would be a disconnect between the members of the team. Each team member had their own rankings of what was least important to most important and coming together to find the middle ground among those rankings to satisfy each team member was the most challenging for us but in the end, we had to compromise and find a middle ground. At times during the negotiations among my team, it felt as if my team members were my opponent because they are times when we are not on the same page and would butt heads.


2. Rule of Emotions

The emotions within the team based on my experience were medium because I disagreed with my group's soft approach, and I wanted to make more aggressive offers to our competitor and less settling for the things that benefit our competitor. My emotions against our competitor were high because I was eager to get the absolute best deal and the things that was ranked at the top of our list. My emotions were high because the competitor was very difficult to negotiate with and they challenged every offer that my team proposed to them which made it difficult to find a settlement.


3. Riff of labor unions

I may choose to be part of a labor union for various reasons, depending on my personal and professional priorities. Here are some common motivations for joining a labor union:

Collective Bargaining Power: By joining a union, individuals gain the collective strength of the group when negotiating with employers. This can lead to better wages, benefits, and working conditions than an individual might be able to negotiate on their own.

Job Security: Labor unions often work to protect job security by negotiating contracts that include provisions against arbitrary dismissals and layoffs. This can provide a sense of stability and protection for workers.

Wages and Benefits: Unions negotiate for competitive wages and comprehensive benefits packages, including health insurance, retirement plans, and other perks. This can enhance the overall compensation and financial well-being of union members.

Workplace Safety: Unions advocate for and enforce safety standards in the workplace, helping to ensure that working conditions are safe and healthy. This is particularly important in industries with potential hazards.

Representation: Unions provide representation and support for individual workers in case of disputes with employers. This can include assistance with grievances, disciplinary actions, and legal matters, offering a level of protection and advocacy.

Training and Development: Some unions offer opportunities for training and professional development, helping members acquire new skills and stay competitive in their respective industries.

Fair Treatment: Labor unions often strive to ensure fair and equitable treatment for all workers, irrespective of factors such as race, gender, or age. They may work to eliminate discrimination and promote a more inclusive work environment.

Voice in Decision-Making: Unionized workers typically have a say in decisions affecting their work conditions. This can lead to a more democratic and participatory workplace where employees have input into important decisions.

Solidarity: Joining a union allows individuals to be part of a community of workers who share common goals and concerns. This sense of solidarity can provide emotional support and a platform for collective action.

Legal Support: Unions often provide legal assistance to their members, offering representation and advice in case of workplace disputes, ensuring that individual workers are aware of their rights and have the resources to defend them.

Six Channels of Persuasive

  Strength Rationality: Of the six channels of persuasive channels, rationality is my strength because my way of persuading others through arguments is based on facts, evidence, and sound reasoning. I like to present rational arguments, that are more likely to be seen as credible and knowledgeable on the subject matter, which enhances my persuasiveness. Being Rational allows me to be transparent. It allows others to see the logic behind my argument and make informed decisions. This transparency builds trust and also makes me seem more reliable. Weakness Politics:  Politics often involves deeply entrenched beliefs and partisan divisions which I have no interest in taking part in. People's political views are strongly influenced by their identity and affiliation with political parties or ideologies. This can make it challenging for me to persuade someone with opposing political beliefs using rational arguments or any other channel, as they may be motivated to reject ideas that c...

Three Schools of Bargaining Ethics

 The School of Bargaining Ethics that I subscribe to the most is the Rights-based ethics because it emphasizes the importance of respecting individual rights and upholding principles of fairness and justice in negotiations. Key principles within the school of thought include: Respect for Autonomy: Negotiators should respect the autonomy and rights of all parties involved. This means not coercing or pressuring others into agreements against their will. Fairness and Equity: Bargaining should be conducted in a fair and equitable manner, ensuring that all parties have an equal opportunity to voice their concerns and interests. Legal and Moral Rights: Negotiators should adhere to both legal and moral rights, which may include property rights, human rights, and contractual rights. Rule-Based Ethics: Some proponents of rights-based ethics adhere to specific rules or codes of conduct that guide their negotiations, such as the principles of honesty, transparency, and non-discrimination.

Negotiation in a Job Offer

 A) Some things that I have discussed with an employer before I got the job: Start Date Tuition Reimbursement Bonuses and Incentives Remote work and Flexible Hours Sign-on bonuses Benefits Salary Negotiating with one's employer is a unique type of negotiation compared to other situations, such as buying a car, haggling at a flea market, or negotiating a business deal. The dynamics, considerations, and goals are distinct in the context of employer-employee negotiations. Here are some key differences: Long-term relationship: Employee-employer negotiations are typically part of a long-term relationship. Unlike one-time transactions, employment negotiations can impact your career trajectory, job satisfaction, and future opportunities within the organization. Power dynamics: Employer-employee negotiations often involve a significant power imbalance. The employer typically has more control over factors like salary, benefits, and job security. This power dynamic can make employees feel mo...
