...Ten Persuasion Techniques The objective of negotiating is to inspire another person to do something they may not want to do. Some of the tactics of negotiation include persuasion techniques. Persuading others is the art of the process. A little friendly persuasion by Guido, the godfather's henchman, is one way of being persuasive. Encouraging the parties to talk and work things out using persuasion techniques is another. It is all in the approach. Persuasion is often used just to get reluctant participants to talk; to get reluctant adversaries to open up, consider options and discuss the situation. This dialogue is an essential step forward in any negotiation. There are many ways to be persuasive. To improve your negotiation technique, learn to use these 10 persuasion techniques, or recognize when they are being used on you. In most negotiations we assume that the prime motivators are avarice and greed. While almost always present, these motivators are not always the most persuasive techniques available to a negotiator. It is the ability to use more subtle tactics that marks the difference between negotiators. Positive Persuasion Techiques 1. Positive Reinforcement The desire to be liked is very strong in all of us. An effective persuasion technique is the use of classical reinforcement conditioning. The Pavlovian cause and effect relationship model relies on the consistent response, positive or negative, to condition the other person to react in a specific...

...COMM/215 Does the Economy Affect Our Children Education? During this study I get to understand how the economy is affecting the education and the future of the young generation, which includes our children. It also affects the consumers and freedom to spend without feeling fear of struggle in a short and long term. The economic challenges are different in all the districts and states, as strategies for collective bargaining. Our children of all ages will be affected, and they will be obligated to work to pay their own education while attending college if they if we want them to have the education our children deserve. Us, parents will have to work more to afford the costs of our children’s education, during our children are in primary and secondary schools. I learned what is the superintendents’ job and what they need to do to improve our children’s education. What strategies they will use for our benefit (the benefit of the community). The economy could recover eventually, but it could take more than four years. This Depression has happened before in Washington State. I believe that if they could recover back then we could see an improvement again. We want excellent schools for our children, and they could be provided with a good education for the children to be successful in life. According to Sims (2004) “As members of a community, we want a high-quality school system so that we can attract and develop new businesses. As citizens, we want our nation to have a world-class...

...SUMMER, 2015 INSTRUCTOR: MOLLIE ANDRAE Q 1. Which dimensions of business case for diversity are the most persuasive? Why? No matter which definition you put on work diversity, most organization if not all are acknowledging the importance of making diversity a business consideration. “Our work place is changing and diversity is no longer the exception, it is the norm now. It is good for business and when we achieve unity in diversity, everyone wins”. (Lativin, D.). Changes in the workplace are the result of various shifts in U.S. demographics. Among these are the country’s racial and ethnic makeup. People of color have reached over 100 million, according the U.S. Census Bureau. The dimensions of business case for diversity may vary from organization to organization depending on their priorities but the case for business diversity is somewhat the same across the board. The demographic shift creating a new customer base and workforce is not the only reason to implement diversity initiatives within a company’s business strategy. Increased globalization, improved financial results and employee retention are all part of a growing business case for diversity. To me, one of the most persuasive case for diversity is winning the competition for talent. The United States is the most diverse country in the world and no wonder is so economically successful and world super power as compared to other developed nations. I believe this same principle applies to business organization. Take...

...is a direct response to the technological needs of today's home buyers. HA provides the convenience of controlling lights, utilities, music, and security systems through remote access via the Internet or Smartphone. In addition to the convenience, the homeowner receives the added benefits of cost savings. Heating and cooling usually contribute to more than 50 percent of energy costs for a home (DeFeo, 2014). Unlike conventional heating and air, HA provides the opportunity to reduce the average utility bill significantly by continuously monitoring the living space and adjusting the temperatures in each room. The cost associated with lighting a home can also be positively affected by using HA systems. DeFeo (2014) states, "a single bulb can last 20 times longer when simply dimmed at 50 percent." (para. 3). And since the bulbs are not lit at full potential, less energy is used to power the light. In most cases, a bulb illuminated at 70 percent is as effective as one burning at full strength. Urgency and Culture The culture of today's society vastly differs from that of the last generation. In general, the median age for the homeowner has decreased, and the demand for convenience and cost savings have...

...Persuasive Position Paper Topic: Whether Boston should host the 2024 Olympics My Position Hosting the Olympics Games is more than simply demonstrating a passion for sports; it has a profound social and economic impact to the host city and nation. In my view, the benefits will outweigh the challenges in hosting the 2024 Boston Olympics. By standing out and being chosen by United States Olympic Committee (USOC) as the candidate city, Boston has made a significant step toward the greatest honor to transcend peace, prosperity, and humanity through this event. Memorandum Date: Mar 11, 2015 To: United States Olympic Committee From: Subject: Withdraw Boston’s 2024 Olympics Bid Hosting the 2024 Olympic Games in Boston would be a great honor and an attractive opportunity to demonstrate the United States’ competitiveness and global leadership. Despite the opportunities, hosting such a mega sporting event bears tremendous downsides, including cost overrun, economic uncertainty, and reputation risk. In addition, Boston’s credential as a host city remains dubious. Hence, I urge USOC to withdraw Boston’s 2024 Olympic bid submitted to the International Olympic Committee. Cost Overruns Notwithstanding Boston’s announcement that all funding used for infrastructure and venues needed for the Olympics will be raised from the private sector, history indicated that this promise would most likely become an empty one and consequently threaten the host’s financial health.

Jobs challenged the plan much to the surprise of Dubinsky and Weaver who were confident in their group’s competence. While Weaver had previously reported directly to Scully, shortly after this meeting, his group was moved under the responsibility of Bill Campbell, vice president for sales and marketing. A few weeks later, following a dinner with founder and CEO of Federal Express and discussion of competitor IBM’s just-in-time (JIT) distribution process, Jobs enlisted Macintosh’s director of manufacturing, Debi Coleman, to investigate JIT for their division, convinced that their plant could efficiently incorporate the distribution function.

Online marketing is considered to be broad in scope because it not only refers to marketing on the Internet, but also includes marketing done via e-mail and wireless media which together creating many advantages for the companies like cost savings and easy to access and monitor the results. Online marketing ties together the creative and technical aspects of the Internet, including Data-driven marketing and social media marketing like Facebook, Twitter and so on. Online marketing also refers to the placement of media along many different stages of the customer engagement cycle through search engine marketing (SEM), search engine optimization (SEO), banner ads on specific websites, email marketing, mobile advertising. By analyzing advantages as well as thoroughly research about trends and technological advancements of online marketing mentioned above I strongly believe that online marketing will be the future of marketing in the next few years. First of all, advantages of online marketing are that it is much cheaper than traditional one, so the budget planning for a marketing campaign is relatively smaller. Cost of traditional TV commercial will rank from 3,000,000VND to 20,000,000VND/ 10sec on VTV3, and the accumulate amount will be billions monthly. Whenever a marketing campaign was proposed to the Board Of Director, money is always a priority concern. It just so happens that Online marketing is so much cheaper...

...‘‘PERSUASIVE SPEECH OUTLINE’’ Solar power is a viable source of energy. ‘INTRODUCTION’ ATTENTION GETTER: It’s the human condition to underappreciate what we are given when we become accustomed to its presence .The everyday convenience of electricity isn’t fully appreciated until a power line goes down and you’re thrust back into the colonial times with candles and fire stoves. Unfortunately as Pakistani’s we visit the dark ages several times a day. So now I ask you to imagine a Pakistan where unlike the false promises of politicians there is actually electricity in every house, where you don’t have to hear the gyrating noise of a generator everywhere you go. A Pakistan which isn’t plunged back into the dark ages every 3 hours. BACK GROUND: With the depletion of the energy resources in the world, governments, industries and scientists are in search of cost effective and readily available energy resources that can be exploited to satisfy the increasing energy demands in the world. Solar energy has been regarded as one of the most paramount and cardinal sources of renewable energy. As per scientists, the energy received from the sun in one hour is more than the whole world’s total produced energy in a year. It would take only around 0.3% of the world's land area to supply all of our electricity needs via solar power. Pakistan is going through a very severe energy crisis right now. Though Pakistan has got a lot on its plate right now, solving this issue would eradicate dozens...
