Blog for Class 2/15/23

 I really enjoyed the article and what we read this week for class. I thought it was interesting how Lewicki and colleagues discussed four main strategies. These are strategies we have used in negotiation class and will use. Furthermore, these are strategies we use in faucets of life. First off, the most common one in my life is "lose to win" or accommodating. As someone being in a romantic relationship for almost two years lose to win is a very common strategy. Sometimes little things like where to eat is not worth a fight. Yielding the decision and giving all power to my girlfriend is actually is a win as we will both be happy and have a great night. You also see this is friendships as well as relationships with family maybe a sibling. The next strategy is the collaborative or win-win strategy. This strategy was used during the "used car" negotiation where me and my partner both made it clear that I need a car to support "my family" and the seller would like to sell the car for a good profit. We worked together to make it a win-win situation. He sold above the break-even price, and I walked away with a car. Win-win. The last strategy is win- lose or the competitive strategy. This was used during the negotiation of the modules last week. As the Phillips plant manager I made it very clear that Crawley messed up and should pay for their mistakes but also ensure it never happens again. There was no win win or anything to help that save face for the higher ups. It was time for Crawley to own their mistakes so I implored a competitive strategy.
