12 Angry Men, 1957 Movie, with Henry Fonda, Midterm Paper

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 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:
Part 1 – How would you describe his negotiations strategy?

Negotiating Techniques: From Selecting Strategies to Side-Stepping Impasses and Assumptions” from the Lewicki textbook 7thEdition required for this
course (pages 48-64).

Break, Recap What has Occurred, Express How You Feel, Make an Important Disclosure, Ask a Hypothetical Question, Ask for or Offer Empathy.
