What is Dependence in a Negotiation

The video tutorial discusses different types of negotiation: independent, dependent, and interdependent. It explains how independence in negotiation means achieving objectives without relying on the other party, while dependence requires some level of cooperation from the other side. Interdependence involves mutual reliance, leading to a more compromising approach. The tutorial also covers power dynamics, where one-sided dependence can lead to leverage for one party. Finally, it highlights the challenges of independent negotiations, emphasizing the need for collaboration to improve outcomes.

What characterizes an independent negotiation?

• Both parties rely on each other.

• One party dominates the other.

• One party can achieve its goals without the other.

• Both parties have equal power.

In a dependent negotiation, what is true about one of the parties?

• They can achieve their goals independently.

• They require the other party's actions to succeed.

• They have more power than the other party.

• They are not interested in the negotiation.

What is interdependence in a negotiation context?

• Neither party is interested in the negotiation.

• One party relies on the other, but not vice versa.

• Both parties need each other to achieve their objectives.

• Both parties can achieve their goals independently.

What often results from one-sided dependent negotiations?

• Mutual benefit for both parties.

• One party taking advantage of the other.

• Complete negotiation failure.

• Equal power distribution.

Why might independent negotiations fail?

• Because both parties are too dependent on each other.

• Because both parties have the same objectives.

• Because neither party is willing to collaborate.

• Because one party has too much power.
