Product Description
Course Project: Negotiation Analysis Paper
Objective
The purpose of the negotiation analysis paper is to help you transfer the negotiation concepts
from the course to negotiations in your own organization. I would like you to use concepts
learned in the course to analyze a negotiation situation. The negotiation may be one that has
recently concluded or one that you are in the midst of. It may be a negotiation between
organizations or within an organization. It may be a dyadic negotiation or one with multiple
parties. It may be a situation of chronic conflict. It also may be a negotiation in which you
observed and are familiar with the parties to the negotiations in order to conduct an analysis.
Guidelines
Paper (due in Week 7) must conform to APA format and be 1315 pages in length, not including
the title page, abstract and references. Spend no more than three pages describing the situation.
Negotiation should be complex enough to challenge your analytic skills. Topic proposal due in
Week 3 (one page).
Milestones:

Best Practices
The following are the best practices in preparing this paper:

Title Page - Include who you prepared the paper for, who prepared, and date. Table of Contents List the main ideas and section of your paper and the pages in which they are located. The
illustrations should be included separately. Introduction - Use a header on your paper. This will
indicate you are introducing your paper.
The purpose of an introduction or opening:
1. Introduce the subject and why the subject is important.
2. Preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered.
3. Establish a tone of the document.
Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also, include an overview
of what you are going to cover in your paper and the importance of the material. (This should
include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer on each assignment.)
Body of Your Report - Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example: "The
negotiation between Company X and Company Y; An Analysis". Then proceed to break out the
main ideas. State the main ideas, state major points in each idea, and provide evidence. Break out
each main idea you will use in the body of your paper. Show some type of division, such as
separate sections that are labeled, separate groups of paragraphs, or headers. You would include
the information you found during your research and investigation. Summary and Conclusion Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than
the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the
body of your report. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they
affect the tourism industry. References - Follow APA Publications Manual, 6th edition in using
in-text citations and include a reference page.
Additional hints on preparing the best possible project:
4. Apply a three step process of writing (plan, write, and complete).
5. Prepare an outline of your research paper before you go forward.
6. Complete a first draft and then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any changes required.
7. Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of your report. You
could use example like graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation,
video clips, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts if applicable.
