Coming back to recruitment-related negotiations, today we were assigned the “Computron Pharmaceuticals” case. The assignment did not aim to help students get familiar with some basic concepts and tactics required in negotiation as in the “Salary Negotiation”.

I found this assignment really helpful for my job offer interviews as well as salary review in the future. Different from the role we had taken in the fist class (the candidate), in this case, we played the role of the recruiter.

If suppliers charge price P1 for all the rooms, they are only targeting one segment and quantity sold will be Y1.
