...Reflective Journal on negotiation Part 1 In the past four weeks, my study group members and me had took part in three negotiation simulations. The first one is that we are Newcastle local car dealer and want to sell used car to Japanese international student ( other group ).In this negotiation simulation, we keep our price first, let other group know the market price of this kind of car and let them give the price in their mind, then base on this price we give a 25% higher price with 1 year volunteer to them.In this negotiation, our strategies is Let the other party bid.( Benton, W. C ). Though in Then in the next week negotiation simulation we play a famous person Ltd versus Stephenie Meyer, and ask booksellers spread our book.At this time we tell booksellers what we want first and regard this advace as lowest line.Finally, we got much more than what we want $1.2 million as royalties and $20,000 contract signing bonus. In this negotiation simulation, the strategy we used is giving out what we want and increase the price step by step.(Clark, Ruth Colvin).But in this negotiation our group member have some problems in interaction. The price of what we want is not deal down, so in the negotiation we have some mistakes in talk with other group. We have to make good communication next time. In the week ten we made another negotiation about resort redevelopment in Hinchinbrook Island. We are Japanese developer, At first we do not make a good communication with each other group member...

...As a teacher it is your responsibility to not only present new material to the student but to teach them and to verify and monitor what information they are actually obtaining and processing. There are many forms of assessments that teachers can use to evaluate students understanding of lesson material. I will suggest a few methods that I will use in my secondary education mathematics classroom. The first strategy of monitoring I will discuss will be quizzes. There are multiple advantages for this form of testing. First, is that it easily produces recorded data. I can quickly grade multiple choice questions and record the students’ grade. Being able to record this grade will allow me to present scores to the parents when I am asked for a student’s progress. Another advantage to a quiz is the ability to assess both the entire class and each individual’s understanding on a topic. I will be able to look at the overall measurement and decide whether there is a need to review the topic or lesson, or if the class is ready to advance in the given studies. Also, by presenting multiple quizzes through the term the students and I can create a set format, which can help ease classroom anxiety. Another form of monitoring students’ progression through a lesson is homework. Homework can be one of the most effective methods for tracking mathematical progress. Assigning, collecting and grading homework can be a very timely way to gather information on how each student is progressing through...

...Journals and Scientific Documents The purpose of journals and professional papers is to inform the public on a specific subject matter. These writings relate directly to a broad spectrum dependent on the edition or publication specifics. Of professional papers, several types can provide a scope of information and credibility toward a purveyance of technical or detailed information. The structure is usually even flowing and organized with particular information segments set out about the constituency of the writing. These papers, intended for publication in special interest journals, enhance the writers research, writing, and documentation capabilities as some of the information, not being his/her own will need to be accredited as if it is not, than plagiarism will be extrapolated. Journals, usually published by or for a particular subject matter or client, are detailed and accurate. There may be a UCLA journal, National Geographic Journal, or even a mechanic’s journal. The particulars of this, geared toward a particular audience and each entry, will usually comprise two titles sharing a general viewpoint for the nonprofessional and an entry specific title for the professional. The purpose of journals is to inform a group or individual of the credible elements related to a curriculum or scientific, professional, or academic scope. The writings or information in a journal may be composed of professional papers but the opposite is not the same. ...

...Difference between journals and diaries:- The difference between a diary and a journal is that a diary is where you can write down what happened during the day and keep a record of stuff. A journal is to write your own personal feelings in, and things that happened, and how they happened. A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details that what was happened in the office, and who took whose side. It is a like a newspaper about you. A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal. You can keep a journal in anything that feels comfortable and that’s portable–a spiral notebook, a bind book you have put together with lokta paper, index cards held together with a rubber band. You can use a computer; keep a blog, although that doesn’t work as well for me. But things on the internet are simply not private, password protected or not. To keep a journal on paper, pick a time of day to write. Keep it regularly. It makes it easier. Try that you didn’t stuck to an exercise program because then it can nailed it into schedule at a certain time. Writing works the same way. First thing in the morning, last thing at night, while eating lunch at your desk. Write with a good pen that feels good and whose color you like. In the beginning, you may have to set a time limit. Three minutes is good. Just write whatever comes...

...Since the very beginning of my days as a student, I have despised literature. English has always been a subject that I dreaded. I do not loathe literature solely for my lack of writing skills, because I do enjoy reading, rather it’s the fact that I tend to lose my train of thought while writing an essay or while brainstorming an idea I want to address. I struggle with organizing my thoughts and making concise relationsHIPS[?][CONNECTIONS?] between literary texts and the assignments given by my teachers. The only time I do enjoy writing is when I can write freely in my journal. By writing in a journal, I do not worry about the grammar and organized aspect of writingCOMMA and it clears my mind.

...The Dynamics of Writing and Family “Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand." -- Bruce Fairchild Barton, advertising executive and congressman Uncle would say, "There are certain inalienable truths you must accept." So when I raged about Atheists being disqualified for holding office in Arkansas or how it's illegal to carry a bible in Singapore, he'd say, "Write it down. Let it out." I've filled four journals. On an idle Thursday, when my mind was free of frustration, I read the crumpled, yellowed pages of my black leather journal and saw a natural progression from black to color. I had precisely captured all my experiences, but in an entirely aesthetic way. From then on, every time I opened my journal, I found myself in an unfamiliar environment writing to capture a mood or scene with creative language. It was my therapeutic getaway from reality. In the summertime, every Sunday, after taking a rattling cold bus, two smoky, humid subway trains, and picking up the best peanuts on 114th street, I would arrive at Riverside Park, New York. I wrote at least one piece every time I was there and shared my work with the same old man who perused the New York Times and the same skinny college student who sunbathed in her bikini. After noting any criticism they gave, I would return home, edit and embellish each piece. ...

...NP New Contract Negotiation Name Institution A Nurse Practitioner is responsible for providing health care services to various clients who attend a medical center. A NP diagnose and treats both acute and chronic illness (Bailey et al., 2006). For one to be a qualified nurse practitioner he or she should have completed a formal education and training in the special are of practice and have a minimum of 500 hours of supervised clinical practice (American Nurses Credentialing Centre, 2006). The NP practice is increasingly being used, and its role are widely increasing. The new opportunities in this field bring with them the new challenges during contract renewal negotiations. The first tool used when negotiating for a contract renewal is the number of patients a NP would probably be attending to in a day. The NP should present the employer with the number of patients he or she expects to see now, at six months of employments and probably at one year of employment. The second point to consider is whether the position is salaried or is per hour, salary expectation differ for these two. When entering into a contract renewal negotiation, a NP should ensure that the two parties, the boss and the NP have something to offer to each other. For this case, the NP can offer services that lead to more revenue while my employer can give the NP a better contract deal. There should always be a win-win situation at the end of the contract negotiation. For instance an NP can...

...Negotiation Negotiation Plan Team D (NAC) Walden University Negotiation Plan One of the main challenges in the upcoming negotiations with the USSL is the cultural differences between our countries. In order to overcome this barrier, we have to plan our negotiation approach very careful and detailed. According to Lewicki, Saunders, and Barry (2011), “The dominant force for success in negotiation is in the planning that takes place prior to the dialogue” (Lewicki, Saunders, & Barry, 2011, p. 97). The main issues in the upcoming negotiations are: * Number of vessel used per year * Logistics support during the ocean and ground transportation * Freight cost and terms of payment * Geographic distribution over the Americas and other continents With accordance to the presented issues, the objectives in each negotiation session will be as following. Stage 1: A general agreement on the concept of operations, including reaching of consensus regarding further negotiations. Stage 2: Strategic Objectives. 1.

Structural ambiguity refers to potential variation in a party’s perception of the bargaining range and appropriate standards for agreement. Gender triggers are situational factors that make gender salient and relevant to behavior or expectations. Based on a review of field and experimental data and social psychological theory on individual difference, we explain how structural ambiguity and gender triggers make negotiations ripe for gender effects. 4 Gender often appears to...

Bazerman is the Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School in Boston. His e-mail address is mbazerman@hbs.edu. Abstract Through the decision-analytic approach to negotiations, the past quarter century has seen the development of a better dialog between the descriptive and the prescriptive, as well as a burgeoning interest in the field for both academics and practitioners. Researchers have built upon the work in behavioral decision theory, examining the ways in which negotiators may deviate from rationality. The 1990s brought a renewed interest in social factors, as work on social relationships, egocentrism, attribution and construal processes, and motivated illusions was incorporated into our understanding of negotiations.
