How to adopt a more collaborative approach in negotiations


Jane has been appointed as purchasing manager of Tacoma Technologies Corp. the previous purchasing manager, who recently retired, was known for his winner take-all approaches to suppliers. He continually fought for more discounts and was sceptical about any special deals that suppliers would propose. A few suppliers refused to do business Tacoma Technologies, but senior management was confident that the former purchasing manager's approach minimized the company's costs. Jane wants to try a more collaborative approach to working with suppliers. Will her approach work? How should she adopt a more collaborative approach in future negotiations with suppliers?
