The objective of this week’s topic is to make sure you have an appreciation of the Role of the Project Manager in Commercial Negotiation. Try to ask yourself the questions that were in the slides in this week’s lecture: 1. In what way, would our approach to the Negotiation Interaction Process vary because of the Economic Logic, or the Strategic Logic, or the Tactical/Pragmatic Logic? 2. In what way, would the Governance ‘Hard’ features impact on our approach to the Negotiation Interaction Process and Negotiation? 3. In what way, would the Governance ‘Soft’ features impact on our approach to the Negotiation Interaction Process and Negotiation? 4. In what way, would the Accountability and Transparency features of Governance impact on our approach to the Negotiation Interaction Process and Negotiation? 5. In what way, would our approach to the Negotiation Interaction Process and Negotiation Methods vary because of the Tame, Messy, Wickedness, or Complexity of the project? 6. Is the Johari-Oriented Cynefin Typology of Project Awareness a meaningful model that can be applied to Commercial Project Negotiation and Communication with Project and Commercial Participants? At an overall level: 7. What role does the project manager have in the negotiation process? |
