Assignment task:
There is an abundance of free websites you can use to identify background information on businesses and people. These websites contain information that can be useful in your negotiations. Remember, it is not your intent to uncover negative information that you can use against a person during negotiations, but the information is helpful to frame your understanding of a company or person. This information can also be used as a source for rapport-building and icebreakers.
There is no reason we should enter into negotiations without conducting a full online search of the person or corporation. Look for two separate entities to research. List the top ten websites to obtain background information.
Pay close attention to all aspects of information, especially other cultures, ethnic groups, and regions. Please provide the two entities and the top ten websites to obtain this background information.
