Buying a used car negotiation blog #1

     The buying a used car negotiation was a very interesting first negotiation which brought a lot of questions. When I approached the negotiation, I decided as the car buyer, I would come in with a very aggressive first offer and see how the seller would react. I low balled the deal by a thousand dollars and fortunately for me the seller went with the deal. In order for me to do this I used my optimistic aspirations to push for an aggressive first offer and push for a great deal for myself, which is in the end what occurred.

    Now following the negotiation and listening to the class speak on their negotiations. I pondered and thought whether or not my negotiation was the best tactic used. I think using an aggressive first offer can be very beneficial at times but can also lead to absolutely zero deal due to the sellers potential resistance point. Now, the person I negotiated with wasn't aware of their resistance point, leading to the deal happening. Now if they were aware, they probably wouldn't have taken such a low deal.

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.
