NEGOTIATION MODELS Negotiation is basically a process of communication by which two or more persons seek to advance their individual interests through joint action. The parties to a negotiation are sitting at the bargaining table because at least one side has decided that it can improve its situation in some way if both sides agree on a specific joint act, such as establishing a strategic alliance to produce cell phones, making a sales agreement to buy computer components, or transferring for a fee one party’s communication technology to the other. Obviously, the other side is sitting at the same table because it too thinks that it has a chance to improve its own situation if it strikes a deal under the right conditions

Your company’s product development division in Houston, Texas, has located a small manufacturer in Hungary that claims it can supply components at 35 percent less than what you are now paying your Dallas supplier, with whom you have had a relationship for over ten years Your boss is pushing you to fly to Budapest to negotiate a long-term supply contract with the Hungarians You don’t know anything about Hungary and are worried about how to handle the Dallas supplier when you get back Or, your company and a Chinese enterprise have established a joint venture to manufacture and sell high-grade machine tools in China and Southeast Asia The venture has clear mutual benefits, but you both have become cautious about sharing information Your Chinese partner is withholding information about customer problems with products and requests for new product features In response, your engineers have slowed the transfer of technology badly needed by the enterprise Both of you are also fighting about advertising expenses Your company wants to spend heavily on advertising, but the Chinese oppose additional advertising as unnecessary On top of that, during your last visit to China, you met the new provincial governor, who took you aside at a cocktail party and suggested that the joint venture would have an easier time with provincial authorities if you sold a portion of your interest to one of his cronies Or, your company has begun construction on a resort hotel in Egypt near the pyramids after securing the necessary land from the government Your company is financing the deal with a combination of its own money and loans from two London banks So far the project has spent $15 million in 298 THE GLOBAL NEGOTIATOR United Kingdom Millington, A I., and B T Bayliss

of group organization and for well-nigh every type of passing or permanent relation between individuals and groups, up to and including states—a frame-work highly adjustable, a frame-work which almost never accurately indicates real working relations, but which affords a rough indication around which such relations vary, an occasional guide in cases of doubt, and a norm of final appeal when the relations cease in fact to work.” Karl Llewellyn, “What NOTES 303 Price Contract?
