Planning Scenario
Your company manufactures DELAMIX blenders, and you are negotiating terms with a supplier of a critical component in your manufacturing process (XYZ Plastics). The chief operating officer (COO) wants you to lead the contract negotiations with XYZ Plastics; however, your planning team has no formal training in negotiation strategy planning. To assist you, the COO provided a recommended template to guide your planning effort. He asked that you review the template and prepare a discussion or narrative for each section that will outline the key components required and guide the planning process.
After reviewing the template, you decide to host a series of training sessions (one per week) designed to coach your team on the negotiation strategy planning process. Your first planning session will serve as an introduction to the planning process and outline the purpose of negotiations and the intended outcomes.

Purpose of the Negotiation (300–400 words)
