Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, E

Integrative approach to negotiation used when the interested parties are attempting to create more of something of value to share, also known as collaborative approach or win-win. Integrative, interest-based negotiation can facilitate constructive, positive relationship and establishes contracts between parties on a foundation of goodwill. In integrative bargaining, both parties seek to 'expand the pie' by creating more value for both the buyer and the seller. Integrative negotiation 'shares the pie' and is interest rather than positional based.

In distributive bargaining, the focus is on claiming value and getting as much of the pie as parties can.

Looks like Hammad is going for the 'Visionary' approach, painting a clear picture of the future contract. Smart move, but I hope he has a backup plan in case the supplier isn't feeling inspired.

Ah, the age-old 'Push' vs 'Pull' debate. Personally, I prefer the 'Jedi Mind Trick' method - just wave your hand and say 'You will give me a 50% discount'.

The 'Collaborative' method might have been a better fit here. Negotiating a win-win outcome is key in procurement, don't you think?

I believe Hammad's approach is effective. By using the Pull method, he is encouraging the supplier to see the benefits of offering a 20% discount.

Hammad seems to have gone for the 'Pull' approach, presenting facts and figures to justify the discount. Solid negotiation strategy if you ask me!
