Pepulator Pricing

It took us one round to figure out that we needed to collude with the other team so that both teams could maximize profits. Both teams agreed to set their price at $30.

Strange Chips

I was paired with Bill on this one. Bill's department created a computer chip that my department passed on developing because we didn't think it could be done. My goal was to get Bill to agree to hand over the chip manufacturing in return for a portion of sales. I knew that my department would be the only department capable of mass producing the chip, and in the end if Bill did not agree to allow me to produce the chips, than the decision would be left to the CEO.........and of course he/she would want to mass produce them.

I flatly refused any of his offers because they were simply too high and because of his arrogant, condescending attitude he took with me.

67 Fishpond Lane

Scott and I were the sellers of 67 Fishpond Lane. We were negotiating to sell the house to Laura Ellen & Nicky. Dawn was the “fly on the wall.”

Scott and I did a thorough job “selling” the positive attributes of the house. Laura Ellen asked the appropriate questions about the condition of the house, warranty, etc.
We did the majority of the negotiation via Google chat, however, we completed it in person prior to class. We agreed on a price that was both acceptable to the buyers and provided a very nice profit for us.

Redwood Senior Center

Cast members:
Laura-Facilitator

Nicky- Representative for Coalitions

Dawn- Director of the Senior Center

Bill -Town Council Member

Me - AAA Representative - Area Agency on Aging

This negotiation centered around a meeting called to discuss the possibility of the local senior center allowing other groups to share their meeting facilities. In return for sharing meeting space, the city council will grant a property tax waiver to the senior city.

Keeping the Senior Center Name - AAA Rep, Coalition Rep, & Center Director all wanted to keep the center name intact.
Agreement Reached: the councilman suggested a compromise, add “community” to the center name.

Amount to charge groups for use of facility - Agreement was finally reached to charge non profits a nominal fee that would cover actual expenses plus 5% to be put into a repair fund.

Designating a certain area of the facility as “Seniors Only” -
It was very important to the AAA REP (my role) for there to be a designated senior space. This would allow me to continue my federal grant applications to bring additional money & actives dedicated to senior programs.

The meeting went well and all parties seemed satisfied.

The World Bank

The instructions confused me. Scott seemed to understand them completely and felt he knew exactly what to do. Since I did not clearly understand the rules and Scott was adamant he understood, I gave all control to Scott.

The game started and I basically just watched. After watching for about 20 minutes, I figured out that if both sides of the game refused to attack, that both sides would beat the bank.
