The first two videos I watched regarding negotiation were a YouTube
video entitled “William
Ury: Negotiation for Sustainable Agreements” and a video from Ted.com “William Ury: The walk from
“no” to “yes.”” These two videos were very similar. In fact some of the
things that he said were exactly the same. The first video is just a YouTube
and it was very long and very boring. The Ted.com video he says the same things
just leaves out certain details and his presentation is better. In the
beginning of the YouTube video he introduces negotiation by talking about
international conflict and different problems. In the Ted.com video he uses a
funny anecdote about a family and a wise lady to introduce negotiations (just
to give you a idea of the differences in the videos). In both videos he goes
through differences between different groups of people and shows how they
negotiate and solve different conflicts. Both videos are very informative and
use concepts that were taught in the book “Getting to Yes: Negotiating
agreement without giving in,” which he William Ury actually co-authored.
The last video I watch was another YouTube video called “How to Negotiate so Everyone
Wins, Especially You!” An attorney who is also an expert negotiator who
trained hundreds of people created this video. This video is actually a lecture
that was done at Case Western Reserve University School of Law. This is also a
long video but it is easy to watch. He begins with a funny story also that
grabs the attention of the audience then once he grabs the attention of the
audience he goes right into negotiation by introducing a game, which allows him
to explain his concepts. He discusses a number of concepts in this video, but
the main concept he discusses is trying to establish a win win or a mutual gain
environment while negotiating.
