Unilateral Vs Bilateral: Unilateral : A unilateral contract is a contract in which one party


Bargaining Mix: • The package of issues for negotiation is bargaining mix. Each item in
makes a promise to another party, but the other party does not make a promise in
the mix has its own starting, target, and resistance point.• Negotiators need to
return. A bilateral contract is a contract in which both parties make promises to each
understand what is important to them and to the other party, and they need to take
other. A unilateral contract is typically used in situations where the party making the
these priorities into account during the planning process. For example, in the condo
promise does not need the other party's promise in order to carry out the contract. For
negotiation, a secondary issue important to both parties is the closing date of the sale-

previously to close the deal or while reaching agreement .nibble tactics can be used
when you are negotiating a price for a product or service. For Example : if you are
negotiating to buy a car, you may start by offering $10,000. If the seller declines, you
may then offer $9,000. If the seller declines again, you may offer $8,000. This process of
offering lower prices until the seller agrees is known as nibbling. Snow job Tactics :The
snow job tactic occurs when negotiators overwhelm the other party with so much
information that he or she can handle. snow job tactics are used to persuade someone
to agree with a certain point of view. For Example : A person might try to convince their
friend that they should vote for a certain candidate by using snow job tactics.

Define the issues with diagrams and examples: Issues can greatly influence the choice
between distributive and integral bargaining strategies. Quota negotiation is a type of
negotiation in which parties compete for a set amount of resources, with each party
trying to maximize its share of resources. In this type of negotiation, the parties tend to
be hard-line and there is little room for compromise. The choice between distributive
and integral bargaining strategies can be influenced by the nature of the issue at hand.
For example, if the transaction is as simple as selling a commodity such as oil or wheat,
a distribution strategy may be more appropriate. In this case, the parties may only be
competing for a fixed amount of resources, leaving little room for creative problem-
solving or collaboration.
