Negotiation 6 Page Paper help?

You are the lead contract negotiator
of a small company that specializes in small GPS guided guidance equipment that
can be used in most vehicles. You have been tasked with acquiring a contract
with one of divisions of the federal government that is developing driverless
convoys for moving goods and supplies.  A customer is able to easily
attach your system to a standard portable radar & laser system.  As
the lead negotiator, you are aware of the size of the U.S. government and the
strength of its negotiating power.  You are also aware of the break-even
point in which your company would need to reach in order to make a profit. Your
main goal during your negotiation session is to write a contract that enables
your company to make a profit on your product that you are selling.

Use the Internet to research similar
equipment that your company’s competitors manufacture.

Note: You may create and/or make all necessary assumptions needed for
the completion of this assignment.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper

Analyze the key approaches that your

negotiators attending the negotiation session and the government’s overall

company’s competitors produce. Indicate at least two (2) potential selling
points that your team will be able to use to overcome any objections on price
or quality of your product.

Describe the essential steps that you
would advise your negotiation team to take in opening the negotiation session
with the U.S. government negotiators.

that you would use to conduct a successful negotiation session. Justify your
response.

important for you, as a negotiator, to write the contract that represents the
interests of your company, as opposed to allowing the government’s negotiation
team to dictate the terms of the contract. Present two (2) reasons why you
would not want to allow industry members to write the contract. Justify your
response.

attributes that your negotiation team would look for during the entire
negotiation process. Specify the primary reasons why you believe these

obstacles or objections that would arise.
