The purpose of choosing this case study is based on the fact that in many life situations one is always a student of the situation requiring analysis of the
other players’ personal agenda, negotiations tactics, priorities, hidden motives, values, ethics, degree of risk taking and prejudices. As a student of such, our
degree of success is highly dependent on our ability to observe, process and understand these dynamics in order to adjust our negotiations approach to “get
what we want” in that situation.
Therefore, as practice relating to the above, it is required that you submit a paper on the subject of the following:
12 Angry Men, 1957 Movie, with Henry Fonda, dealing with a 12 person jury charged with deciding the guilt or innocence of a young man charged with
murdering his father.
It is required that you rent, purchase, borrow or obtain this movie and watch it whatever number of times (Note: The movie is posted within the course, itself.)
required for you to construct a paper that responds to the following requirements. In additon, the movie is incorporated into the course content-see the
course HOME PAGE:
Page 1 – Cover Title Page
Page 2 – Table of Contents (Including page numbers)
Page 3 – Prepare a Brief list explaination (in sentence form) of the major case issues that need to be considered by the jury for their conclusion.
Pages 4-11 (A minimum of 8-pages): Jury Member No. 8, Character played by Henry Fonda. Address the following four (4) parts in a minimum of eight (8)
pages:
Part 1 – How would you describe his negotiations strategy?
Instructions for parts 2, 3, 4 & 5:
There are at least forty (40) Negotiations techniques defined and discussed in the course text.
Therefore, as preparation, in addition to watching and analyzing the above referenced movie, you will need to read and study Reading No.1.5 titled “Effective
Negotiating Techniques: From Selecting Strategies to Side-Stepping Impasses and Assumptions” from the Lewicki textbook 7thEdition required for this
course (pages 48-64).
Within reading 1.5, there are many negotiation techniques, Therefore I have selected the following eighteen (18) negotiation techniques reviewed in Reading
1.5: Forbearance, Silence, Surprise, Fait Accompli, Reversal, Probing/testing, Setting Limits, Association, Disassociation, Blanket, Bracketing, Salami, Take a
Break, Recap What has Occurred, Express How You Feel, Make an Important Disclosure, Ask a Hypothetical Question, Ask for or Offer Empathy.
Create ten (10) separate sub-headings for the following topical negotiation techniques. (Sub-headings 1-5 are for the instructor selected negotiation
techniques., subheadings 6-10 are for the student selected negotiation techniques) See PARTS 2 & 3 for detail.
Part 2 – The Instructor has elected five (5) required negotiation techniques (SALAMI, REVERSAL, SILENCE, FORBEARNCE, SETTING LIIMITS) from the list
above that Juror No. 8 used during this movie. Clearly describe the circumstance where in the movie he used such technique(s) and properly cite when this
occurred. Then describe what happened in the movie and the result from its use.
Part 3 – From the remaining thirteen (13) negotiation techniques that the Instructor selected, YOU (the student) are to select five (5) and clearly describe the
circumstance where in the movie Juror #8 used such technique(s). Then describe what happened and the result from its use and properly cite when this
occurred.
Part 4 – In a separate heading, Identify at least two (2) compromises Juror #8 had made. Explain and properly cite what and when they happened in the
movie, the circumstances and the effective result of each.
Part 5 – Pages 12-18 (A minimum of 7-pages): From YOUR five (5) selected techniques from the list, above, of the thirteen (13) selected Negotiations
Techniques that Juror No. 8 used, compose a minimum of 7-pages to complete parts (a) and (b) below. Be certain to use headings for each technique that
you chose:
(5a) (Separate sub-heading) For each of these five (5) techniques which you selected, write a detailed explanation of the circumstances of how your use of
these techniques could be applied in your personal and business life. (Make sure you have separate headings for each of these five (5) sections) (5b)
(Separate sub-heading) For each of the five (5) chosen techniques, write and explain the result you would hope to achieve by use of that technique.(NOTE:

learned in theory and research from the readings and weekly course material. Your analysis should include an integration of readings, theory, and concepts
as appropriate.
