The Wired Negotiator: Using Technology in Negotiation

By — on / Teaching Negotiation

The Wired Negotiator

Everyone negotiates every day. How we negotiate is changing dramatically due to the use of various technological tools. People need not fear this change. Rather, they should understand the different technology at their disposal, grasp the pros and cons, and determine how to select the best medium to suit their needs, negotiation style, and approach. Check out this TED Talk of PON faculty Dr. Joshua N. Weiss on how to use technology effectively in negotiation:

Teaching students to use technology as an integral part of their negotiations will better equip them to negotiate effectively in the modern world. Having students conduct a negotiation over email can be an insightful way for students to experience how technology can impact negotiation strategy. Fie’s Agent is a two party negotiation simulation from the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center (TNRC) designed to be conducted over email.

Fie’s Agent – Featured Negotiation Simulation

This two-party integrative e-mail negotiation is between a soccer star and her long-term representative over the terms of a potential new agency contract. This simulation is a good vehicle for discussing the dynamics of negotiating via e-mail versus face-to-face or through other media. It highlights issues regarding the principal-agent relationship, contract drafting, integrative and distributive bargaining, and the challenges in balancing substance, process, and relationship concerns.
