This fifth negotiation that we did was unlike any other we had done for many reasons. The whole time leading up to the negotiation seemed to be a bunch of unfortunate events at my expense. Although the results that I received at the end of the negotiation weren’t as bad as they could’ve been, I still believe it to be somewhat of a failure because I know I had the potential to do better. If I had an external locus of control I would have just attributed this failure to the influences that affected me leading up to the negotiation. However, being a person with a high internal locus of control I know that my success is based on my own work. I could have been more successful in this negotiation had I been better at planning, been more careful and more …show more content…
The week of the negotiation I had an abundance of work, presentations and papers to work on. Because I am a procrastinator I usually leave work to be done till the last minute. This time I tried to manage my time wisely and even started working on them a week before they were due for a change. Unfortunately, it was more than I expected and more work piled on from other classes. I still managed to work on everything in a way in which I thought I could finish it all on time. The day before the negotiation, before my last class I finally decided to look at my role sheet and the background information for the negotiation. I typically don’t wait so long to look at my negotiation role sheet but given the circumstances this was the time I was able to start. I was sitting in the commuter’s lounge when I decided to look at my role sheet. I had read through the role

Imagine yourself going out to a neighborhood party trying to relax after a stressful week. You might want to socialize, drink, or watch television. Now try to think about the penalties that can occur when the party gets out of control such as loud outbursts, fighting, and physical behavior. Depending on the setting of the party, there could be a possible chance of violence happening. In this case, the violent actions can result to homicides, shootings, and suicides. Homicides can vary based on age, gender, race, and methods of killing the victim. Shootings are quick reactions to dealing with victim. Suicides result to choosing to kill one’s life. Overall, there are different reasons to why individuals feel the need to kill someone else. It
The book defines Locus of control a reflection of whether people attribute the causes of events to themselves or to the external environment. Neurotic people tend to hold an external locus of control, meaning that they often believe that the events that occur around them are driven by luck, chance, or fate. Less neurotic people tend to hold an internal locus of control, meaning that they believe that their own behavior dictates events (Colquitt, J. A., LePine, J. A., & Wesson, M. J. 2017).

Most of the common activities in our daily life present an opportunity to negotiate, whether or not we realise it. Meta-reflecting upon my negotiation experiences during the class and other activities have led me to identify few common themes. In this assignment, the two themes I will be discussing are (1) the importance of being clear on the strategic intent and big picture thinking, and (2) the importance of managing the negotiation process through understanding the various phases and visualising negotiation as a train journey.

Negotiation, as we’ve learned, is the process of communicating where parties can discuss problems and/or targets and attempt to solve them via dialogue in order to reach a resolution. While many individuals feel successful negotiations are due to a natural skill, the truth behind reaching a prime agreement is preparation. You need to know the issue, know yourself, and know your party. This type of preparation also includes knowing your needs and limits, understanding what the other party wants and anticipating their limits, asking the right questions, and being creative in your counteroffers.

The locus of control is a psychological concept that attempts to define how an individual perceives and interacts with the world around them. Essentially, the locus of control is attributed by the Internal and External scales by Rotter (1966) and ultimately has evolved into the multidimensional Internal, Powerful Others and Chance scales by Levenson (1981). The scores attained within these respective scales then provides information and analysis into human behavioural patterns and in particular can be used as a tool to measure their responsiveness to the notion of leadership.
Negotiation is an important strategy and plays an indispensable role for people to solve the problem in our lives. It is a good way to make both parties find acceptable solution by each parties use tactics to persuade another party to approve his or her viewpoint. The application of the advanced negotiation skills definitely not only brings success in our daily life but also improve people’s work ability. This essay will show my natural preferences for different types of influence tactics which have been utilized in in-class, the understanding of the negotiation and analyze how to use proper tactics at different situations which are based on the role-play activity in tutorial.
There are many external and internal factors that impact the planning functions of management. We must all be mindful of these factors because they could have an enormous impact on organizations productivity. The process of assessing the external and internal factors that an organization will face can be vital to the planning function of management. One must determine a set of issues and constraints and then list the assumptions that will impact the implementation of the plan. The environmental assessment develops understanding of external and internal processes that influence the organizations success rate. The purpose of the environmental assessment is to identify and analyze the key trends, forces, and phenomena having a potential impact on the formulation and implementation of strategies. In effect, the environmental assessment attempts to prepare the organization to acclimatize to environmental changes to take advantage of opportunities and to minimize the adverse effects of threats. Once the environmental assessment is complete, it is analyzed to prioritize issues, constraints and assumptions that could influence the planning function of management.
