What is the most likely outcome when two organisations with adversarial relationship negotiate with each other?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In the scenario, the value of contract as well as the importance of purchased item justify the procurement's travel. Visiting a supplier at their HQ or operational facility may facilitate the procurement team in assessing, albeit briefly, the culture of the organisation, how busy they seem and how staff engage with each other. A visit is a good opportunity to assess supplier's capacity.

I'm no negotiation expert, but I'd bet my last dollar on a deadlocked scenario. Sounds like a recipe for a standoff and a whole lot of eye-rolling.

A win-win? That's the dream, but with adversaries? Good luck with that. Might as well flip a coin and call it a day.

I'm feeling optimistic! A win-lose outcome could happen if one organization manages to outmaneuver the other. Maybe they'll arm-wrestle for the last cookie.

Well, if they're really at odds, a lose-lose situation seems the most likely. Might as well call it a day and go grab a pizza.

I think you're right. It's probably best to just cut their losses and move on.

Yeah, I agree. It's hard to find a solution when both sides are so opposed.

Hmm, with two adversarial organizations, I'd bet on a deadlocked outcome. Shake hands and go home, I say.

I disagree, I believe it could also be a Lose lose situation if neither party is willing to compromise.

I agree with Malika, when two organisations are adversarial, they often end up Deadlocked.
