60. (p. 2) What are the three reasons negotiations occur?
Negotiations occur for several reasons: (1) to agree on how to share or divide a limited resource, such as land, or property, or time; (2) to create something new that neither party could do on his or her own, or (3) to resolve a problem or dispute between the parties.
70. (p. 15) Describe the strategies and tactics a negotiator would employ in a distributive bargaining situation.
In distributive situations negotiators are motivated to win the competition and beat the other party, or gain the largest piece of the fixed resource that they can. In order to achieve these objectives, negotiators usually employ "win-lose" strategies and tactics. This approach to negotiation—called distributive bargaining—accepts the fact that there can only be one winner given the situation, and pursues a course of action to be that winner. The purpose of the negotiation is to claim value—that is, to do whatever is necessary to claim the reward, gain the lion's share, or gain the largest piece possible.
71. (p. 16) Why should negotiators be versatile in their comfort and use of both value claiming and value creating strategic approaches?
Not only must negotiators be able to recognize which strategy is most appropriate, but they must be able to use both approaches with equal versatility. There is no single "best", "preferred" or "right" way to negotiate; the choice of negotiation strategy requires adaptation to the situation, as we will explain more fully in the next section on conflict. Moreover, if most negotiation issues/problems have claiming and creating values components, then negotiators must be able to use both approaches in the same deliberation.
78. (p. 23) Where would you likely to find the concept of "yielding" on the dual concerns model?
Yielding (also called accommodating or obliging) is the strategy in the upper left-hand corner. Actors pursuing the yielding strategy show little interest or concern
