Fundamental Model of Negotiation - https://youtu.be/PKz4pDm1e90 LESSON NOTES ============ Kenneth Thomas & Ralph Kilmann developed a model: the Thamas-Kilmann Conflict Modes Inventory. It identifies five modes of conflict. And, since negotiation is simply conflict that plays by a set of rules (a process), these conflict modes translate into five negotiating strategies. We can understand the negotiation strategies by considering two dimensions: 1. Concern for outcome - Assertiveness 2. Concern for relationship - Cooperation The Five Negotiating Strategies are: 1. Competing 2. Accommodating 3. Avoiding 4. Compromising 5. Collaborating (for win-win) RECOMMENDED EXERCISE ====================== 1. Most of us have a default (preferred) mode, which we tend to over-use. What is your favorite negotiating strategy? (1 MC CPD Point) 2. Think about times when you may have used your default strategy inappropriately. What was the impact? Which strategy could you have used, to better effect in each case? (2 MC CPD Points) 3. Think about any negotiations (formal or informal) that are ahead of you. For each one, think through which of the five negotiating strategies will be right for the situation? (2 MC CPD Points) 4. Extend your consideration of these situations by planning out how you will enact that strategy. (2 MC CPD Points) If you need to, revisit our videos on: .
