blog #3 use of dual concern model

     I have used the dual concern model without even knowing I had been using the dual concern model. I have used nearly all the tactics shown in the dual concern model including accommodating, collaborative, avoiding and competitive. I have used all of these tactics on multiple different occasions. I currently work for capital hotels and investment group where I help manage some of the properties my boss owns. Through this job I have had to use all of these tactics for different things all the time.

I have used the avoiding tactic when my boss has asked for some absurd request and I know it can't be done in 2 hours and rather taking his call then I give it some time and call him back an hour or so later letting him know everything is finished. Most times I already know what he is going to tell me to do so I just get it done ahead of time and let him know like an hour or two after he calls me.

I have also used the collaborative tactic when I have had to help other managers with work on other things they are trying to accomplish. For example, my boss just bought hot point bar and they have been doing a variety of things to build the place up a little. I have collaborated with the other managers to get everything sorted out and made sure everything was ready to go for last Friday which was opening day.

       In our previous discussion, we explored the various aspects of negotiation in a job offer scenario.

When dealing with employers, individuals often need to balance their assertiveness in seeking better terms or conditions with a willingness to cooperate and maintain a positive working relationship.      I interviewed my dad about his job interview. He is a executive director of a company and he said that it was interesting negotiating his contract because part of his contract is paid through his own company. So he had to sort out some different nuances with the board and cooperate on a ...

  "Three Schools of Bargaining Ethics," as discussed in Reading 1.13, present three ethical approaches to negotiation: the ends-based school, the rules-based school, and the care-based school. The ends-based school prioritizes achieving the best outcome, even if it means bending or breaking the rules. The rules-based school emphasizes adhering to established ethical principles and norms during negotiation. The care-based school values maintaining relationships and taking a compassionate, empathetic approach. Personally, I find myself aligning with the care-based school. While the context may sometimes influence my approach, I generally prioritize relationships and ethics in negotiation because maintaining trust and goodwill is crucial for long-term success. However, the approach can vary depending on the specifics of the negotiation, with certain situations demanding a more rules-based or ends-based orientation, but my default position leans towards care-based ethics.
