Module 4 Discussion  

When Negotiations Fail: BATNA

In negotiations, an acceptable outcome is not always reached. Having a strong BATNA defined during your preparations for negotiation is a must. The stronger your BATNA, the more you can potentially ask for in your negotiation. There’s no shame in walking away from the table if your BATNA is a better deal than the negotiations can provide for you; in fact – it is often the right thing to do in such cases.

For this discussion, please summarize the role and purpose of a BATNA, and explain how one is chosen (in 500-750 words). What would be an example of a BATNA in a workplace conflict situation? Be as specific as you can in your response, using peer-reviewed sources to support your summary.

Module 4 Reflective Discussion  

Reflections On Course Concepts

For this discussion, please take some time to reflect upon two specific concepts you learned in this course. What are the specific concepts? What insight or ideas did you gain from learning each of these concepts? Were there aspects of the concepts that you would challenge? How (specifically) will you use this new wisdom in your current or future career?

In order to earn maximum credit, the comment should be more than your opinion, and more than a quick “off the top of your head” response. Be sure to support your statements with peer-reviewed sources; cite sources properly both within the text of the post and also at the end of the post in a formal reference list. The response must be a minimum of 500-750 words.

After responding to the Reflective Discussion above, please complete an anonymous Course Evaluation Survey. Instructors are not able to view course evaluation reports until after the grade submission period is over. Thank you for your feedback.
