A phase-specific analysis of negotiation styles
Melanie preuss from universitat Potsdam, Potsdam Germany and per van der wijst from Tilburg University, tlburg, the netherland has daone research regarding the phase-specific analysis of negotiation styles.
Negotiations play an essential role in industrial markets because it is an essential factor for the allocation of resource between buying and selling firms. Negotiation can contribute significantly to company profitability.
This research paper investigate whether negotiators stick to one single negotiation style or whether their style differ during the negotiation process and author seek to identify different combination of phase –specific negotiation style and investigate the relationship between these combination and negotiation performance and satisfaction.
The following are research problem base for this research paper.
- Do negotiation styles vary between negotiation phases If it holds true that negotiation styles vary between negotiation phases, it is necessary to examine in a more detailed way how they are applied
- Are there distinct negotiation style patterns that depend on negotiation phases? If there are, then insights about the effects of these so-called phase-specific negotiation style patterns on negotiation performance (effectiveness and efficiency) and on negotiators’ satisfaction provide a deeper understanding about their characteristics and consequences.
- How do distinct phase-specific negotiation style patterns impact negotiation’s effectiveness and efficiency? Despite some findings about the impact of single negotiation styles and static style patterns on negotiators’ satisfaction, there are no insights as to whether distinct phase-specific patterns influence the satisfaction level., who have examined negotiation satisfaction, there is a positive relationship between the use of a coordinative negotiation behavior and the opponent’s satisfaction with the negotiation process, and they confirm the prior results of Graham and Campbell et al.
- How do distinct phase-specific negotiation style patterns impact negotiators’ satisfaction with the relationship to the counterpart? As a data collection method author conducted large online negotiation study and selected 259 students they were register online platform and explore followings. Author used unit of analysis toexploreany negotiation behavior can characterize every stage, which seems a necessary precondition to examine our research question concerning whether negotiation styles vary between negotiation phases.
After that author used stage interval approach. That is best for theoretical aspects a stage approach is mostly time-driven and defines the particular negotiation stages without relating them to negotiation behavior.
As a third author used extensive coding schemes applied to negotiation behavior, studies that code negotiation styles are rare. The frequency of the five categories assigned to the units within a phase indicated which specific negotiation style a negotiation party was predominantly using in this particular phase. In contrast, an episodic approach separates negotiation phases according to the applied negotiation behavior. We attributed one-third of the total negotiation time to both the second and the third negotiation phase
As a findings author highlighted Negotiators who applied the tough relationship builder pattern differ significantly from 0 and are thus more successful than the average negotiator in according to the sample. The diverse phase-specific patterns variable subsumes all patterns that are not included in one of the five predominant patterns and are considered in our analysis to guarantee a full design for our model estimation. Because the results have shown that the other phase-specific negotiation style patterns do not differ significantly from each other with regard to the IO, concentrate in the following on a comparison between the extreme problem solver and the tough relationship builder patterns. To examine whether phase-specific patterns have an impact on the individual negotiation outcome, the efficiency of the negotiation, and the negotiators' satisfaction, we first had to consider the interclass correlation coefficient because of our sample's dyadic structure. The results have shown that the other phase-specific negotiation style patterns do not differ significantly from each other with regard to the IO, we concentrate in the following on a comparison between the extreme problem solver and the tough relationship builder patterns.
Interestingly, the tough relationship builder performed significantly better than the average negotiator, whereas negotiators who applied the extreme problem solver pattern achieved the lowest individual negotiation outcome. It appears that the tough relationship builder succeeds in showing tough negotiation behavior during the right phase in the negotiation.
As a Conclusion Overall, our study proved that negotiators should be trained to become acquainted with different negotiation styles – beyond their preferred negotiation style –to adapt their negotiation style to the characteristics of the different negotiation phases. It seems plausible that preferred phase-specific negotiation style patterns depend on the individual’s culture, are dictated by hierarchical positions or may change under time pressure. Moreover, 29 distinct phase-specific negotiation style patterns were found, but three-quarters of negotiators used only five of them. Our second research objective was to find out how these phase-specific negotiation style patterns impact the negotiations’ effectiveness and efficiency.
In the final phase of the negotiation, practitioners should switch back to an integrating negotiation style, which once again emphasizes cooperation and thus lays a good foundation for future negotiations. We further investigated the impact of our identified phase-specific negotiation style patterns on negotiation performance and negotiation satisfaction. The extreme problem solver understands the entire negotiation as a joint task to solve and might miss the right moment to push through his own interests. Second, we only concentrated on the negotiation party’s style without considering the influence the interaction with the negotiation counterpart may have had.
It appears that the tough relationship builder succeeds in showing tough negotiation behavior during the right phase in the negotiation. For example, it would be interesting to examine how negotiators make the transition from one negotiation style to another. By analyzing negotiation styles from a phase-specific point of view, the present study succeeded in showing the relevance of the distinction among negotiation phases. It is conceivable that a certain negotiation style in one phase came in reaction to the negotiation style that the counterpart was using.
