Week 9
This week we ask how can organisational change be embedded into organisations through Interest Based Negotiation (IBN)?
The Union Perspective
Case study Air New Zealand
*
Wk 1 -How sound are the underlying theories, methods and ideas on change, that managers and consultants adhere to?
Wk2 -Why is it necessary to consider complex contexts and cross-cultural dimensions in organisations during change?
Wk 3 -Why and how do employees’ experiences of participation influence their perceptions and response to change, the effectiveness of organisational change and the success of the change?
Wk 4 -How, do we make sense of change and how do we respond to organisational change across the dimensions of cognition, affect and behaviour?
Wk 5-Why is it important to include perspectives of those people (stakeholders) who might be affected by the decision in the process of planning design and implementation of change?
Wk 6-How can a third-party change agent draw on a range of processes to facilitate collaborative change and embed a collaborative culture? The heatnetwork case
Wk 7 To What Extent Is Culture Change Possible Through Coaching and Mentoring?
Wk 8 What are the leadership and negotiation factors contributing to organisational change success or failure?
Wk 9 How can organisational change be embedded into organisations through an Interest Based Negotiation (IBN) approach to internal and union relationships ?

Functions and Benefits of Conflict
1-*
The Dual Concerns Model
11.bin
1. Contending /competing
- Actors pursue own outcomes strongly, show little concern for other party obtaining their desired outcomes
2. Yielding/ capitulating
- Actors show little interest in whether they attain own outcomes, but are quite interested in whether the other party attains their outcomes
3. Inaction / avoiding
- Actors show little interest in whether they attain own outcomes, and little concern about whether the other party obtains their outcomes
1-*
Styles of Negotiation & Conflict Management
4. Problem solving/collaborating
- Actors show high concern in obtaining own outcomes, as well as high concern for the other party obtaining their outcomes
5. Compromising 50/50 concessions sharing
- Actors show moderate concern in obtaining own outcomes, as well as moderate concern for the other party obtaining their outcomes
1-*
Styles of Conflict Management
1. Identify the problem (s)
- Each person tells their story uninterrupted and summarizes
the issues from their perspective
- Collaboratively identify and define the overall problem
2. Identify interests and needs of each person
3. Brainstorm creative options for solution
4 Evaluate and select options
5. Record your agreements reached
3-*
Key Steps in the Integrative Negotiation Process
- Define the problem in a way that is mutually acceptable to both sides “how might we>>>?”
- State the problem with an eye toward practicality and comprehensiveness
- State the problem as a goal and identify the obstacles in attaining this goal
- Depersonalize the problem
- Separate the problem definition from the search for solutions
3-*
Identify and Define
the Problem
*
- Create a free flow of information
- Attempt to understand the other negotiator’s real needs
- Interests and objectives
- Emphasize the commonalties between the parties and minimize the differences
- Search for solutions that meet the goals and objectives of both sides
3-*
Principles of the Interest based /Integrative Negotiation Process
- Interests: the underlying concerns, needs, desires, or fears that motivate a negotiator
- Substantive interests relate to key issues in the negotiation
- Process interests are related to the way the dispute is settled
- Relationship interests indicate that one or both parties value their relationship
- Interests in principle: doing what is fair, right, acceptable, ethical may be shared by the parties
3-*
Understand the Problem Fully—
Identify Interests and Needs
- There is almost always more than one
- Parties can have different interests at stake
- Often stem from deeply rooted human needs or values
- Can change
- Numerous ways to surface interests
- Surfacing interests is not always easy or to one’s best advantage
3-*
Observations on Interests
- Invent options by redefining the problem set:
- Compromise
- Logroll
- Modify the pie
- Expand the pie
- Find a bridge solution
- Cut the costs for compliance
- Nonspecific compensation
- Subordination
- Generate options to the problem as a given:
- Brainstorming
- Surveys
- Electronic brainstorming
3-*
Generate Alternative Solutions
- Narrow the range of solution options
- Evaluate solutions on:
- Quality
- Objective standards SMART GOALS
- Acceptability
- Agree to evaluation criteria in advance
- Be willing to justify personal preferences
- Be alert to the influence of intangibles in selecting options
- evaluate complex options involve neutral experts in evaluation
3-*
Evaluate and Select Alternatives
- Reality check options differences in expectations and risk/time preferences
- Keep decisions tentative and conditional until a final proposal is complete
- Minimize formality, record keeping until final agreements are closed
3-*
Evaluate and Select
Alternatives
- Build Trust in the process through honest open communication
- Clear and accurate communication
- Learn and understand of the dynamics of integrative negotiation
- Air New Zealand embedded this approach throughout the organisation
- Repaired union relationships
