Robert is negotiating a contract for selling transformers that are manufactured by his company. He prefers to reach a deal, but feels he must maximize the difference between his return on the deal and that of the other party.  Based on this information, identify Robert’s motivational orientation.

Erica and Tino are both Simon alums; they recently reacquainted at Meliora Weekend, and their discussions eventually centered on a potential business deal. Erica is the founder and CEO of ABC Analytics, Inc. (ABC). Tino is the founder and CEO of Global Design Ltd. (GDL). Coincidentally, ABC and GDL each own 3 constrictor flange tool and die machines (“constrictors”) and 3 robotic assembly resonators (“resonators”). Though Erica doesn’t know it, Tino wants to reconfigure his company’s product line and needs constrictors more than resonators. Likewise, Tino doesn’t know that Erica is reconfiguring her company’s product line and needs resonators more than constrictors. For Tino, a constrictor now is worth 4 utils (a util being a uniform measure of utility) and a resonator is worth 1 util.  For Erica, a resonator now is worth 4 utils and a constrictor is worth 1 util. Erica and Tino decided to discuss a potential deal regarding trades of constrictors for resonators. Assume that the parties will only engage in trades that make themselves better off and that the only available issues in this negotiation are resonators/constrictors. What can we say about Tino’s options?

You have been involved (for the past 6 months) in a time-consuming and sometimes acrimonious negotiation with a potential joint venture partner. A joint venture could provide significant value to both parties. However, the parties have tried everything, but they have become bogged down in the many issues that involve creation and management of a joint venture. Specifically, the parties have not been able to articulate terms for the joint venture that both parties believe will make them better off than the status quo. Finally, just yesterday, there was a breakthrough!  Your counterpart suggested that a more finely focused discussion would be a better approach than the mind-numbing free association that seemed to plague the parties’ negotiation sessions. In this connection, your counterpart suggested that his lawyer “just create sequential drafts of an all-encompassing joint venture agreement” as a focal point for review and comments.    Choose the best response to this suggestion below:
