15. Bargaining Styles
People have different organizing styles –
varying from relatively stable to
personality driven clusters of behavior
and their reaction/s. These styles, when
followed in a set pattern leads to the
formation of certain specific models
known as models of negotiation.
ACHLA TYAGI 15

16. Dual Concern Model
• This was proposed by Dean G. Pruitt, Jeffery
Z. Rubin & Sung Hee Kin. This model explains
how one’s behavior while bargaining or during
conflict, is influenced by two concerns:
1.The desire to satisfy oneself.
2.The desire to satisfy the other party.
ACHLA TYAGI 16

17. Dual Concern Model
The bargaining styles associated with Dual
Concern Model stems from two personality
dimensions:
1. Assertiveness
2. Co-operation
These two concerns yield five negotiating styles:
i. Avoiding
ii. Accommodating
iii. Compromising
iv. Competing
v. Collaborating
ACHLA TYAGI 17

18. Five Factor Model
• This is also known as Big-5 Personality
Dimension, presented by Zhenzhong Ma. He
sought to determine whether personality
factors could predict an individual’s bargaining
style & whether one’s bargaining style
adequately predicts bargaining behavior?
The dimensions of personality are also
referred to as OCEAN Approach.
ACHLA TYAGI 18

19. PRAM Model
• Ross & Long developed the PRAM Model to
put win-win approach into practice. This
model guides the negotiator through four
steps of:
1.Planning for Agreement
2.Building Relationship/s
3.Reaching Agreement/s
4.Maintaining Relationship/s
ACHLA TYAGI 19

individuals who are representing their own
interests such as:

negotiating deal.
 Between a group of people engaged in decision
making process.
 Between parties representing interest other than
their own as is typically found in a business
transaction between a company & its suppliers.
ACHLA TYAGI 25

26. Types of Negotiators/ Agents

2.Non – Independent Agents
ACHLA TYAGI 26

27. The Challenge
 Bargaining is a process that includes:
1.Gathering general information
2.Learning the priorities of the other side in a
specific negotiation
3.Assessing the strengths & weakness of their
own positions.
ACHLA TYAGI 27

28. The Challenge(cont..)
 The challenge in being an agent of the
principal party who is not into negotiation, is
to make sure the principal party is aware of
how the negotiation process is progressing. If
the principal party is not a direct part of that
process, the agent must discuss the
information gathered at the negotiating table
& get direction from the principal party on
how to proceed.
