Theme
In
recent times industrial purchasing and
sales executives have been working in a
very competitive and high pressure
environment. Most of them have learnt
the art of negotiations on the job. They
often discover the wasteful nature of
the negotiations in terms of time and
success rate. There are moments of
frustration due to apparently illogical
interactions. Can it be avoided?
Often
inexperienced professionals may get
carried away by smart tactics they
witness in marketplace, making them
blind to the ‘science’ part of the
negotiations. Any business decision
boils down to cost and value. Negotiated
settlement is not an exception. One can
discover that homework on costs and the
technicalities, strategic interests and
financial aspects can help one arrive at
a good decision very quickly. Naturally,
such detailed analysis may not be
required for all decisions. So, where
should it apply is another thing to
ponder over? The program brings it out
in complete details with examples and
exercises to help participants absorb
the principles and practice in a simple
manner.
Common
negotiations are about resolution of
positions of opposing interests. The
negotiators must understand the relative
positions and meeting ground. Analytical
understanding allows them to arrive at
optimum decisions very quickly improving
their personal efficiency.
No doubt,
experienced negotiators use their
tactical skills to advantage, but they
have a clear strategy protecting long
terms interest of the organization and
relationship. Negotiator has to
understand tactical posing from genuine
position; else he will fall for the
tactics. So he has to know the tactics
and their effects to counter them
effectively.
The program
tries to cover all the essentials of
science and art of negotiations to make
participants aware and appreciate
utility of the concepts in daily
practice.
