Apply the five negotiation skills to an actual negotiaon situation.  You have inherited from your parents half of an undivded interest in a summer home with some prime acreage on a nearby lake.  Your coowner was your father's friend and partner in a number of enterprises.  For years your two families have shared this summer house on alternating weekends and holidays without any problems.  Your co-owner, however, is ready to sell the property and believes someone will buy it to redevelop it from a summer cottage to four upscale vacation homes.  You are not interested in selling, but you are willing to buy out your coowner at the current fair market value.  That value is considerably less than your cowner beleives the property is worth.  When you can't reach agreement, your co-owner simply sells his interest to a third party, who may or may not be the potential developer.

This new co-owner tries to buy you out, and when you refuse he begins to make changes to the property without consulting you.  When you complain he threatens to petition a court to force the sale of the land, which would mean both of you would lose control, which he thinks you are not willing to allow.  You decide to try to negotiate a deal so you can continue to use the pproperty as you did when you were growing up.  In order to do so, your co-owner will have to shelve any improvement plans he has for the property.

1. Assuming your Best Alternative to a Negotiating Agreement (BATNA) is letting a court sell the property, discuss how it may help you reach an agreement. Recommend other strategies that you could use to accomplish a successful negotiation.
2. Discuss your power sources and your co-owner's power sources in this negotiation, and analyze how you can strengthen your power position.
3. Propose a logical and an emotional argument to persuade your co-owner to agree to a deal.
4. Describe a nonverbal communication technique that you will use to persuade your co-owner that your proposal is a win-win proposition.
5. Describe a threat you can make that would force your co-owner to make concessions.
