Identifying your Case Study

For the course project, you will develop a plan to undertake a complex negotiation. You will select a negotiation scenario and have it approved by your course instructor. The negotiation may be one of the following:

· A negotiation event that you either anticipate occurring or have previously experienced (e.g., a home sale or purchase or a business partnership)

· A role (an agent or a representative) you might imagine playing in a complex negotiation being reported in the news (e.g., a hostage situation, an Internet sales tax controversy, a merger between two companies, a rezoning dispute, or a change in the favored-nation status)

A central factor in topic selection should be the five-week nature of the final project. In other words, you should select a negotiation scenario that may be adequately completed within the given timeframe. Accordingly, it might be beneficial to select a negotiation that is already started or even already completed and use the course project case study as a way to relive and reevaluate what did happen, what could have happened, and what should have happened given your growing proficiency with strategic negotiation.

Seek approval and assistance from your instructor early in Week 1 to determine whether your idea for the final project seems suitable. With or without instructor approval of your general idea early in the week, you should anticipate that feedback to the Week 1 final project might require you to substantively revise the project scenario to meet assignment expectations before proceeding with the Week 3 and Week 5 assignments, which are the major portions of the project. For example, if the project as detailed in the Week 1 paper suggests that a more complex negotiation scenario is required or that a less complex scenario would be beneficial, you should be prepared to make those adjustments before moving on to the Week 3 section of the project.

To assist you in planning for the final project, the following table provides a high-level overview of the final project deliverables during the course. Note that the Week 3 and Week 5 deliverables are major projects and will likely require research and work prior to the actual week the respective deliverables are due, to satisfactorily complete the assignments.

Your deliverable for Week 1 of the course project constitutes a negotiation plan overview and an initial analysis of key topics in the negotiation.

Identifying Your Case Study

Tasks:

Describing the Negotiation Scenario

· Describe the negotiation scenario. For example, if the negotiation is about a house, provide brief details about the home or the other primary resources over which the parties are negotiating.

· Include a statement of purpose for the negotiation and its expected outcome.

· Explain why this negotiation is important for you and what you hope the outcome to be.

Identifying Participants and Stakeholders

Identify all the participants and key stakeholders in the negotiation.

· Who will be directly involved in the discussions?

· Who might not be directly involved in the discussions but will have a stake in or influence on the proceedings?

Preparing for the Negotiation

Evaluate the important topics and sources needed to adequately prepare for and conduct the negotiation. For example, if you are negotiating a car purchase, a home purchase, or a merger:

· What is the important information you need to know?

· What resources will you use to gain that knowledge?

Generally, evaluation of topics and sources should include four or five resources and one or two pages of analysis.

Project Assignment Responses and Formatting Each week during this course there is key Project assignment due on Day 7 of each week. Assignments should be formatted to ensure you complete all parts and provide a logical organization and structure to enable the instructor to follow your logic and thought process.

Secondly, external research and supporting examples are expected in your responses (not the course lecture, not just your opinions, or the course textbook).   As you respond the Project Assignment make sure to reference external credible sources –as this strengthens your work. The greater the number of creditable external sources the stronger is your work. Supporting external sources cited at the end in the reference section per APA guidelines.    By adhering to these practices, you enhance your work: demonstrate your knowledge in a substantive way and impact your grade earned. This you can do in four important ways:   1) Use the appropriate words linked to the topics for the assignment and week 2) Address directly each part of the assignment in expanded detail 3) Make use of supporting information from the case study and external sources — (through academic credible articles and web sites) 4) 3 + different credible sources for each section. 5) Format your assignment responses per APA guidelines.    Format guidelines and best practices to achieve the above: a) Title page: Include- Assignment title, Student name, Course Name and Week, School Name, Name of Instructor b) Make use of subheadings for each part of the assignment. This can be achieved by stated key words from the question. d) Intext cite where information is used from sources. c) Reference section: Sources need to be cited as per APA guidelines.

Use of Creditable Sources Required： Project Assignment Responses

This information credible sources requirement supports the Project Assignment details and rubric. 

To earn the maximum, score in each section, that demonstrates knowledge of the topics:   A)  "exceeding the expectations" = 3 + different credible sources intext cited for each section per the rubric. B)  Sufficiently supports = use of 2 different intext cited sources per section. C)  Weakly supported credible sources used = 1 intext cited source D)  Lacked credible sources = No sources intext cited 1.    Research needs to go beyond the course textbook or course lecture notes. 2.    Sources published, authored, and less than 6 years old. 3.    APA guidelines must be applied to intext cite information where used in the response.

Example 1: A response has no intext citations but does have a reference section will be penalized in each section and graded as “Lacked credible sources” – as this demonstrates lack of APA application and potential plagiarism – as information was obtained from sources but no credit given to the authors.   Example 2, the scope section can be written simply as a scope statement. However, to use information from credible sources to support the response: information can be used from sources that support scope importance, what it is, how it benefits a project, negative effects if no scope is developed.
