Negotiating Electronically How it is different How you should do it
Face-to-face versus electronic:Reduced information Face-to-Face • Body language • Facial expressions • Tone of voice • Voice inflections • Spontaneous choice of words • Transparent emotion Rich communication Email, Twitter, Networks • Lost nonverbal cues • Lost micro expressions • Print, photo or symbol delivery • Monotone • Asynchronous delivery allows editing • Calculated emotion Lean communication
Effects of Information Technology • Reduced “turn taking” reduces trust • Anonymity increases sinister attributions • Parties make more assumptions • Distance increases counter-normative behavior • Lost cues reduce status and power effects • Email only communication produces more impasses
Enhancing technology-mediated negotiations • Initial face-to-face experience • Initial teleconference/video conference • Non—task-related contact increases rapport • Humor increases trust and satisfaction
The goal of A Negotiation… …is not to reach an agreement. It’s to reach a good agreement.
