Negotiation: The Grand Palace Theater

Improved Essays
1. Goals/Objectives for the negotiation
My main objective is to maximize to overall profit for POP Productions, this should be at least $300,000 because I have a potential deal with The Grand Palace Theater that is worth that amount.
I will be able to maximize the profit for POP if I’m able to successfully negotiate different components. The first one is how are we sharing the profits, I need to get at least 30% of the profits but my goal is to get at least 40-45%. The second negotiation point is to decide who is paying for room and board for the cast and crew, ideally we would share this expense 50/50, but WCT would probably want to pay lease since the pay for the operations of the theater. The final big component to negotiate is the salary of the cast, I want to get this number as high as possible to keep the cast happy and motivated.

I’m also interested in a long term relationship with WTC, together we need to find a deal that works for both of us so we can work together in future productions, during this deal we can also negotiate the show “Bugles” for the summer and lock in a longer relationship with this deal.
I also want to maintain the good reputation that both the company and the Oceania! show have built, POP is one of top Broadway show producers and Oceania! has been a hit show, I want to book quality theaters in the biggest US markets to maintain the reputation and increase expectation for future shows.
My reputation in the company may also be hurt if I don’t reach an agreement, it’s important to bring the show to Chicago as it is one of the top cities in the country, it would also hurt my reputation and my overall bonus if I let one week of the calendar without any revenue for the company.

    It is difficult to change our decisions and cooperate with someone’s opinion. A successful negotiator always conveys an attitude of cooperation and collaboration. I plan to instill this quality to become a cooperative negotiator. On the contrary we might deviate from the main objective if we are too cooperative while negotiating. In this case, I had to compromise on additional benefits when my goal was to negotiate on obtaining $240,000 for the contract.…

    This November marks the year of a presidential election, and the president of the United States is widely acknowledged as the most powerful person in the world. However, I posit that the Congress is the true power behind the governing body that is the United States. The president is a figurehead and the deciding signature to all legislation passed by Congress. Congress is a complex governing body, and it currently struggles to get bills passed. Yet, the people of the United States still vote for representatives with the hope that these officials will uphold the interests and goals of the larger population.…

    The pricier studios are usually found in the larger areas associated with the music industry, like New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, or Atlanta. Smaller areas, such as Montgomery, Birmingham, and Mobile tend to stay under $100 per hour, but usually cost more than $50 per hour, depending on the quality of the studio. Around Montgomery, the least expensive professional studio that advertises regularly offers digital recording services for as little as $50 per hour. The Cage will offer studio time at a very reasonable $25 per hour, with blocks of time available for negotiable package prices. Our goal here is to focus on the musician or customer without them having to worry about watching the clock or paying more than they can afford.…
