The Opera Case Negotiation
Business Negotiations
Summary of My negotiation from the Opera-case and how I think it was different from other cases
The Opera case was a case about relationship and reputation, it made the negotiation a little bit different. We discussed the case in a more open way and were really honest to each other, we also applied many of the things we had learnt from the book and classes.
When I compared with other cases I could see how we negotiated in a less stressful way and did focus on the problem and not on positions. And I think we learnt a lot of things for the following cases that ended up more open and with a focus on the problem.

My negotiation from the Opera-case and how I think it was different from other cases
At first I though it should be like the other cases but when I started to read I understood that the deal was not really about money it was more about a relationship and reputation.
Our Negotiation
We started the negotiation with a discussion over the problem, the Opera needed a singer and Sally Soprano needed a job. Both of them have some wishes and we tried to solve them in the best way we could during the short time we had to negotiate. We started a really open negotiation as both parts really wanted to have a solution to the problem. We also talked about different requirements and solutions. I could really feel that both of us had learnt new things from the classes that we used in the negotiation as we did a more relevant discussion and listen to the other persons opinion.
We discussed the case and came to some conclusions. The Opera really wanted Sally for the role and Sally really needed a job as she was having a hard time with her career. We talked about the what salary she had got earlier for the same role, what Mrs Risingstar would have got and what the other singer, who was really inexperienced, would have got. As the negotiation was just a short time before and it takes long time to teach a new singer, did the Opera not have many

    Entering Les Florets negotiation, I had set for myself rules. Besides my will to buy the restaurant, I had some intermediary objectives to help reach my goal. First, I needed to learn more about the seller’s reasons to sell. This way I could offer her different solutions to solve the situation. Second, I needed to be flexible, despite the limit of $160,000. That meant I needed to maintain a margin in the negotiation around the price, and I decided to start with a price of $140,000, saying since I am not usually in charge of buying new restaurants, I am limited in the money I can spend. This way, I could difficultly raise my offer to $150,000 but negotiate other things, notably that the seller would stay for a few months to help train a new staff.…

    We also had one other interesting analysis of the negotiation. We had the impression each of the parties were constantly on the defense. It appeared they did not engage in a problem solving mindset for a successful negotiation. Integrative bargaining did not transpire between Katherine and Alisa until the end. Katherine and Alisa resolved this conflict in a Win-Win situation despite the fact Katherine was arguing for a win-lose situation in her favor. Unfortunately, we fear both parties would find themselves in a similar confrontation in years to…

    Recently we have participated in several integrative negotiation exercises. This kind of negotiation usually contains several negotiable issues, thus clearly understanding your preference and priority are the crucial important step which allows you to continue future trade-offs. We have been talking a lot on how to create values by developing your preference, however, I found I sometime fail to maintain my priority and always deviate from my major preference in the piratical negotiation. I want to share my experience of the case. This is a typical case of integrative negotiation which we actually have several different negotiable issues. As the role of Alphexo, during my previous preparation stage, I realized possible sales restriction and profit-sharing are the issues would bring me biggest benefits, so I decide to focus on them. I also decide to use venture leadership and I.P rights to create extra value if we could not reach the deal. At the beginning of the negotiation, I think I did a good job because I clearly expressed my preference to my partner that I highly value restriction and profit-sharing. Since both of us persisted on that, my partner then moved to the I.P rights. We spent a quite long time on negotiation of the I.P rights, and gradually, my concentration deviated from my decided priorities to this side issue. I started to stay firmly on the I.P rights, and my partner then switched back to the sales restriction and asked for my concession on restriction. I unintentionally agreed to move from 18 months/18months to 6 months/18months.…

    To conclude this protocol, some points should be mentioned. I think it was worth mentioning that Daniel and Bernhard have made a sophisticated move by offering only two options: either higher prices or a higher quantity. This has made their standpoint very clear and emphasized their main interests in the negotiation. Additionally, the private exchange of Nizama and Tim in between were very interesting and useful, when they were confronted with new information that needed some…
