A good negotiator invests time in understanding the needs of the individuals in a negotiation. Is this statement true?

  1. Yes, because individuals' needs always unify with their own organisation's needs and wants
  2. No, because negotiator should attempt to satisfy the needs of the other organisation only
  3. No, because satisfying individual needs will lead to conflict of interest and unethical practices
  4. Yes, because individual needs largely influence the outcomes of the negotiation

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Skilled negotiators seek to understand the needs of the other parties, as well as their own. In doing so, it allows them to determine a strategy that their own needs are met.

In the commercial negotiation, procurement team does not negotiate with organisation, they negotiate with individuals. It is therefore important to recognise that there are two levels of needs:
The organisation - What the organisation wants to achieve. This is generally well stated and understood
The individual - what is in it for the individual? This is generally not stated, rarely discussed, but very motivational. It is vitally important therefore that time is invested in understanding the needs of the individual
Skilled negotiators are aware of the needs that occur at both levels, and develop creative options and strategies that attempt to satisfy these needs.

  4. Commercial negotiation objectives should be driven by just the instincts of procurement

Answer(s): B
