Be sure there are newspaper articles or other resources that sufficiently document both sides of the conflict. Remember that when generating alternative solutions, the parties to a negotiation must both actively participate in the conflict resolution, so make sure you are able to identify documentation related to the efforts of negotiation coming from both sides the conflict. Watch for emotions, personality, and bias that may result in a party’s inability or unwillingness to listen or accept alternative solutions to a problem.

After sufficiently researching the conflict you will need to choose one side of the conflict you would like to represent. You will then need to create an Integrative Negotiation Planning Strategy for the party you are representing based on the facts of the conflict identified.

After you have completed your Integrative Negotiation Planning Strategy, summarize the conflict and proposed alternate solution. Be sure to describe the conflict.
