3. Differentiate
methods of project
negotiation, conflict
management, and
stakeholder
engagement across
projects consisting of
differing technology
standards and asset
lifecycles.
I have identified that disputes, claims, variations as well as arbitration generally
raise number of issues and challenges. It is found that unresolved conflict, claims
as well as variations generally create negative impact on the leader and
employee’s relationship of the organization which generally erode trust,
decreased performance as well as productivity.
It is found that the disputes, claims as well as arbitrations can be avoided by
taking proper important steps. It is found that conflict, disputes as well as
arbitrations are generally resolved by talking with the staffs, by identifying
agreements as well as by prioritizing the various areas of conflict.
If we don’t be able to avoid dispute, claims as well as arbitration then it
generally can create impact on the performance of the organization and further
can create huge impact on the relations of the customers with the leaders.
Yes, I have identified that World view of the researcher generally create huge
impact. In addition to this, it is properly analyzed that the entire research has
been properly validated.
Moreover, I have identified that the information as well as sources that are
provided to the researchers in order to collect proper data and information and
as result with the help of the information proper information as well ads data
can be achieved successfully. Moreover, it is found that the provided sources of
information as well as data are not only important for the research but also for
the commercial negotiation.
The various types of assumptions that are generally made within the research
are very much reasonable and they are generally helpful in collecting proper
information as well as data that are generally associated with the research. The
results that are generally achieved from the true and false hypothesis are very
much valuable as well as important for the concept of commercial negotiation.

4. Explain and apply
methods of
identifying and
reconciling
inconsistent and
conflicting objectives
and drivers that
develop, maintain,
mange relationships
and communication
with key
stakeholders.
I have identified that the methods of identifying as well as recon inconsistent
and conflicting objectives and drivers that develop, maintain, mange
relationships and communication with key stakeholders needs to be properly
explained. The drivers mainly include identification of stakeholders, engagement
of the stakeholders, mapping expectations of the customers, classification of the
levels of communication as well as engagement of the stakeholders within the
procedure of decision making.

Reflection
I have analyzed that the ideas that I have achieved from chapter 5 are generally helpful in structuring my thoughts as well as views around the commercial
project negotiation. It is found that in the earlier week the topic mainly reflects on the Commercial Conflict Resolution whereas in this week proper focus is
on the Disputes, Claims and Variations. From this week, proper information as well as knowledge is gained about the commercial conflict resolution.
