I joined “negotiation and laws seminar,” and in December, 3 and 4, our seminar joined Inter College Negotiation Competition. The purpose of this competition is that students get negotiation skill which is useful in business scenes through imaginary problem. This competition was 10th anniversary, and 19 universities including 上海交通大学 and Australia team joined it. Therefore, it seems that this year was bigger than before.
In Inter College Negotiation Competition, on the first day, we tried the arbitration problem. On the second day, we tried the negotiation problem. There are 2 types of teams, Japanese team and English team. I joined English team. The problems are here.
I would like to explain the summary of problems. In the arbitration, there are 2 disputes and each dispute has 2 issues. In the first dispute, Red corporation contracted Blue corporation in order to develop the system in a factory. However, some problems happened. Therefore, the launch day was delayed by the problems. Also, Red corporation bought “Blue tester” from Blue, but the ability was not good as Red expected.
In the second dispute, Blue and Red made contract with Brown corporation to develop the lithium-ion battery satisfying Brown. However, Red and Blue failed to supply the lithium-ion battery due to failing to procure electrolyte. Therefore, Red and Blue couldn’t get profit and cost for developing the batteries was wasteful. In both disputes, Red and Blue sued each other for asking the other party to compensate damage.
In the second day, we tried the negotiation problem. In this problem, Red and Blue was trying to make the join company to get the contract with a nation for developing the water management system.
Our seminar took a long time in order to prepare this competition, but we could not win a prize. However, I could get a good experience. Therefore, I want to make the most of this experience for next year competition.

It must have been great experience for you! All students do need negotiation ability after graduation. But we would need it when we do job hunting,too. I`m really interested in this kind of seminer in Gakushuin.
ReplyDeleteI want to have ability to remark my opinion clearly so that everyone can understand what I mean. It`s very important ability for all students, right?

This was a really fruitful opportunity. It was good you found it and participated. The result of the arbitration seems like there was no change or no "result" if each company paid compensation to the other. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYou were brave to try this in English. Good for you!

ReplyDeleteCompensation is different from dispute 1 and 2. So I think how much I can get compensation and avoid compensating is important.
