| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why is teaming important | Most negotiations are complex; need other expertise We think differently than our partners do |
| Teaming can help with? | Dealing with multiple complex issues |
| Teaming pitfalls | coordination and pooling of knowledge impasse more likely |
| Common knowledge effect | Teams seldom effectively pool individual knowledge. Instead, they tend to discuss information that all members/many members know (shared information) at the expense of discussing information that one member/few members know (unshared information). |
| Why does common knowledge happen | Mutual enhancement: we like people who think like us; who share our attitudes Uncertainty makes us look to others and follow the “norm” |
| Common knowledge interventions | Search for unique info Caution agianst making decision beforehand (confirmartion bias) Records facts that justify decision Decide on decision criteria and then evaluate options |
| Team negotiation findings | Teams are often better at maximizing joint value but… They more often reach impasses Being in a group can make individuals more competitive Group polarization effects which can lead to extreme first offers |
| Select team on basis | Skills & Abilities Motivation Diversity |
| Team Coordination issues | Infor Sharing- need to determine what unique infor we need Interaction Process- how do we comminicate |
| Coordination Remedies | Add time Clear and Explicit team goals & objectives Develop systematic ways of examining problems |
| Multiparty negotiation definition | Multi part negotiation is a process in which three or more persons or teams, with their own interests, decide how to resolve their conflicting preferences among issues. |
| Challenges of multiparty negotiations | Dealing with coalitions-> possible coalitions build exponentially with more parties Formulating trade offs-> circular logrolling |
| Distribution rules | Equity=proportional to inputs (how god wanted) Equality = everyone gets the same (communist cucks) Needs = those who need the most get the most (xxtra communist) |
| Why to use equity | Promotes contribution and performance God wants it |
| Why to use equality | Quick and easy Promotes cooperation and equal status |
| Why to distribute fairly | Used in relationships, promotes harmony but also neediness |
| Keys for distributing fairly | -identify distributions w/o knowning your share -engage in perspective taking (role play ((kinky)) -Identify objective sources and criteria |
| Trust def | accepting vulnerability based upon a belief in the expectation that another will behave as anticipated |
| Trust tips | -Build Rapport -Communicate an intent to cooperate -Gain public commitments -Signal interdependence |
| Process tips | -Build agenda -Assign: Faciliatator, time keeper, recorder, devils advocate -Discuss grround rules -Discuss how decisions will be made (majority, consensus, unanimity) |
| Majority decision | Easiest, however it can leave people out and may negatively impact implementation, vote can be swayed by powerful minority |
| Unanimity | everyone agrees, can be time consuming and not always feasible |
| Consensus | involve joint problem solving, groups memebers often more satisfied and committed |
| Coalitions are likely to form when | Decisions are made by majority rule, such as at the executive committees of the partners or in boards of directors |
| How to strengthen coalition | Emphasize cost of not joining build interpersonal relationships Select coaltion members for their reputatiion for honoring commitments prpose an allocation structure commensurate with the distribution of power or resources |

| Rights based approaches | Who is right in this conflict, are there standards that can be applied Searching for an objective view |
| rights based strategies | legal standards- precedents, legal guides problem- which precedents are relevant Social standards- distributive justice, procedural justice Problem- can we ever view objectively |
| Rights based approach benefits | Interests based approach exhausted Your claim has moral standing that 3rd party would back up Effective claiming |
| Power based approaches | Ability to force other side to accept your claim in the dispute Ability to coerce or to inflict harm |
| Power and effective threates | 1. Magnitude of harm 2. Probability of being carried out |
| Use power when | -outcome more important than relationship -need for speed of implementation -previous efforts have failed |
| Costs of power approach | -can be viewed as aggresive -may create enemies, even when idea is adopted -lack of buy in -short term results, long term pain |
| Interest basis for resolution | -negotiation -mediation |
| Rights basis for resolution | -arbitration -court |
| Power basis for resolution | -dismissal/quit -bankruptcyu -strike |
| 3 types of third parties | mediator arbrirator agent |
| How can mediators help | -provide a controlled setting in which parties can vent their emotions -control the procedure so that each disputnt has a voice -Engage the disputants in searching for acceptable settlements -Motivate the parties to resolve the dispute |
