NEGOTIATION
1. What is your thinking style preference form – monarchic, hierarchic, oligarchic, and
anarchic – and what is your thinking style scope – internal, external?
There are several types of possibilities and thinking styles that a person applies for
performing a negotiation. The several types of thoughtful styles are hierarchic, oligarchic,
monarchic and anarchic. In the style of the Monarchy the thinking and the primary focus
of the person should have a specific objective, and unless the person achieves the target
or the objective, that person does not have any objective or aim. In the Hierarchic
thinking type the person performs different activities at the same moment. This style of
thinking aids a person to behave in a genuine, rational and prearranged way. Another type
of thinking is oligarchic that relates to those persons who are disordered, edgy and having
objectives that are contradictory (Lewicki Barry and Saunders 2016). In the style of
Anarchic the pattern of thinking of a person usually considers the procedure of
contemplation with an unmanageable and haphazard way with some precise instruction
for solving the problems. This Anarchic way or method is being preferred by me for
carrying out a negotiation. This way of thinking helps me in liking tasks, projects and
various types of situation where there is improved flexibility of provisions which is made
by me that can be easily applied in the new way or the method, and therefore anything
can be tried by me whenever and wherever it is needed. This way helps me to take a
chance for various tactics concerning difficulties that creates problems to comprehend for
other persons (Goldberg et al 2014). This method of thinking supports me to use a process
which is not resistant and same for addressing the difficulty. There also arises confusion
in the circumstances where the way of thinking allows me to perform better. The thinking
method has two way of possibilities. One the internal scope and the other one is the

external scope. The internal scope says the person who attend this type of scope always
prefer for doing a job in a separate way. These type of person can be easily considered as
the introvert and performs in a lonely environment (Ting‐Toomey 2015). These persons
carry inventive problems, critically desirable and inner concentration. The other type of
possibility is the external scope. For this type of possibility the persons who attend this
method shall be cooperating and should do the job in a crew with other people restfully
and effortlessly. I always prefer the type of external scope. This is because in this type of
scope there is a relation to responsibilities, state of affairs and ventures that allows me to
work along with other persons with the opportunity of interrelating with other persons at
various level of progression (Rojot 2016). This happens due to the reasons that I prefer to
work in an association as I have contended entirely and extraverted in a group.
2. Are your thinking style preferences – form and scope – optimal for conducting this
negotiation? Explain your answer.
In the present problem, I am assigned as an agent with the responsibility of an
organisation for carrying out a negotiation of selling an asset(Fatima Kraus and Wooldridge
2014). Various types of approaches can be accessed that are essential to carry out the
negotiation of a sale, and the ways or methods of such negotiation needs a casual
approach that is not prearranged concerning the state of affairs. It must be guaranteed that
regarding the sale of the asset that is sold based on terms that should be for the side or
favour of the client. For establishment of good position in front of the client in a contract
of sale. I must be cooperating along with other persons and the involvement with other
persons should be there in socially calm and relaxed manner (Hargie 2016). In the case if

the external scope is followed it will be very helpful in conducting the sale of negotiation
very accurately.
3. What adjustments (if any) could you make to adapt to a more optimal thinking style for
this negotiation?
There are few adjustments which are essential for incorporating the way of thinking. In
the given case I choose to conduct negotiation in an anarchic way of thinking. In the
provided case, there is the presence of flexible tactics that comes into use for solving the
difficulties. In regard to the way of negotiation concerning the sale of the asset that has a
value, there should be a plan for dealing with the sale. This can be useful or can be
applied for Monarchic type of thinking. As a result it is essential to merge the monarchic
and anarchic way of thinking (Mircică 2014). By practising this method, I can easily afford
a specific and fixed strategy, and therefore I can flexibly act in need.
4. What is your client’s BATNA? What is your client’s reservation value?

accessed by my client as follows:

problem for searching the buyer of that particular property.
