No unread replies.No replies.IntroductionIt is always wise to have a best possible alternative to a negotiable agreement (BATNA), which is the best outcome you could achieve if the negotiation fails and you must follow another course of action.25For example, say you want a salary raise of $5,000 per year, but you will accept $3,000 if it is offered. What will you do if you are unable to get the $3,000 raise? Will you settle for your current salary? Will you quit your job and try to find a higher paying job in another organization? Once you have identified your BATNA, you will be in a better position to figure out your zone of possible agreement (ZOPA) which is the area where two sides in a negotiation may find common ground26 For example, say you request your $5,000 salary raise and your boss tells you that the best offer will be $3,500. Since this figure lies within the zone that both parties find acceptable, then it is likely an agreement will be reached.Unit Learning OutcomesULO 1: Analyze the different bargaining approaches (CLO 1, 4 and 5, PLO 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6)ULO 2: Evaluate the different negotiation and dispute processes of reaching an agreementacceptable to all parties (CLO 2, 4 & 5, PLO 1, 2, 4, and 6)ULO 3: Examine the different types of conflict and determine if these conflicts are positive or negative to an organizations performance.
