67 Fishpond - Practicing Asynchronous Negotiation

For this exercise the Sellers will act as a team and the buyers will act as a team. Each team should discuss the objectives they desire to achieve and negotiate an agreement among themselves about what will be an acceptable outcome. All members of both teams must be participants in the negotiations between the teams, but all do not have to participate at once. But more than one member of a team can particiapte at the same time (online or by telephone) if they wish.

Teams must agree within themselves before they can agree to a settlement with the other "side".

Communications can occur by Google Talk, telephone, or in person. If you add video or audio to the computer element, please let me know.

Negotiations will conclude THREE weeks from tonight (Oct 15) unless an agreement is reached earlier.

All final agreements (not within a team) must be submitted to me in writing and signed by all five individuals.

Good luck! I am very interested to see how this works!

Dear Friends,

I think I have found a way to print our "chats." Go to your gmail account.....click on the CHAT option (listed under the inbox ...on the left side of the window). This will list all of your chats...just click on the one you want..then right click and select print (or go to file-print). You can also select "show details" before you print...for an easier view (above the chat...next to your name).

Peace,
Amy
