Negotiation Simulations

  1. 2-person, buyer-seller game first used by H.H. Kelley is still useful.  It requires about 15 minutes of preparation and usually results in about 30 minutes of interaction.  The results can be compared to those listed in Exhibit 4.4 of Global Negotiation: The New Rules, page 85.  This also ties directly to slides #55-61 of the PowerPoint presentation above.  The products and currencies can be adjusted to fit your own context. 
  2. 6-person, buyer-seller game, Bolter Turbines Inc. has been used with thousands of executives around the world.  Feel free to adapt the materials for your particular contexts.  A PowerPoint presentation is included. 
  3. 6-person, buyer-seller game, General Medical MRIs is a spin-off of the Bolter Turbines game. It includes some “cultural materials” and can be used directly with the briefings on negotiation styles in 50 countries.  Also, included is a PowerPoint presentation.  Finally, this is the same simulation that provides the context for the Video Materials above.
