Product Description<br />

<strong>Course</strong> <strong>Project</strong>: Negotiation Analysis Paper<br />

Objective<br />

The purpose of the negotiation analysis paper is to help you transfer the negotiation concepts from<br />

the course to negotiations in your own organization. I would like you to use concepts learned in the<br />

course to analyze a negotiation situation. The negotiation may be one that has recently concluded<br />

or one that you are in the midst of. It may be a negotiation between organizations or within an<br />

organization. It may be a dyadic negotiation or one with multiple parties. It may be a situation of<br />

chronic conflict. It also may be a negotiation in which you observed and are familiar with the<br />

parties to the negotiations in order to conduct an analysis.<br />

Guidelines<br />

Paper (due in Week 7) must conform to APA format and be 13–15 pages in length, not including<br />

the title page, abstract and references. Spend no more than three pages describing the situation.

Best Practices<br />

The following are the best practices in preparing this paper:<br />

Title Page - Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared, and date. Table of Contents -<br />

List the main ideas and section of your paper and the pages in which they are located. The<br />

illustrations should be included separately. Introduction - Use a header on your paper. This will<br />

indicate you are introducing your paper.<br />

The purpose of an introduction or opening:<br />

1. Introduce the subject and why the subject is important.<br />

2. Preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered.<br />

3. Establish a tone of the document.<br />

Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also, include an overview<br />

of what you are going to cover in your paper and the importance of the material. (This should<br />

include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer on each assignment.)<br />

Body of Your Report - Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example: "The<br />

negotiation between Company X and Company Y; An Analysis". Then proceed to break out the<br />

main ideas. State the main ideas, state major points in each idea, and provide evidence. Break out<br />

each main idea you will use in the body of your paper. Show some type of division, such as<br />

separate sections that are labeled, separate groups of paragraphs, or headers. You would include<br />

the information you found during your research and investigation. Summary and Conclusion -<br />

Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the<br />

original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body<br />

of your report. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect<br />

the tourism industry. References - Follow APA Publications Manual, 6th edition in using in-text<br />

citations and include a reference page.<br />

Additional hints on preparing the best possible project:<br />

4. Apply a three step process of writing (plan, write, and complete).<br />

5. Prepare an outline of your research paper before you go forward.<br />

6. Complete a first draft and then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any changes required.<br />

7. Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of your report. You<br />

could use example like graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation,<br />

video clips, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts if applicable.
