Knight Engines – Excalibur Engine Parts
Knight Engines – Excalibur Engine Parts

Issues in negotiation:

 Sale of produced units
 Price
 Branding/ advertisement
 Long term relationship leading to further sales

Both parties are interested in coming to an agreement. We (Excalibur Engines) are interested in selling these pistons but only at a price of $480 or more per piston. If an agreement can be reached we have the possibility of making a profit, branding and developing a relationship with Knights Engine Parts.

Priority of issues:

 Sale of 10000 units of pistons which would otherwise have to be sold at $100
 Price to be more than $480(excluding rush fee and insurance) and we could try till $650 (including rush fee and insurance)
 Advertising our product for attracting more customers in the long run

Underlying interest:

 To minimize the loss caused due to the Swiss deal
 To establish a long term relationship with Knights Engine
 To increase the company’s revenue and retain the shareholders

Goals:

Tangible: To sell 8,000 pistons (what Knight needed) for $650 (desired price + insurance) and want the Knights to indicate on the chassis that their engines were fitted by us (Excalibur Engines)
By this we are trying to maximize profits to $650 and minimizing loss by selling 8000 out of 10000 units produced for the government of Switzerland.

Intangible: We will try to establish both a good relationship and a reputation for fair deals, so that future business can develop.

Walkaway points and BATNA:

Walkaway point: We would walk away from the deal if the price drops below $480 and if they refuse to indicate on the chassis that their engines were fitted by us (Excalibur Engines)

BATNA: To sell more pieces at a little lesser cost thus reducing the average cost per piece. Negotiate the branding in exchange of the rush fee or the insurance cost.
One of the most important parts of the planning process is to anticipate what your opponent will do, and along those

    4. (TCO D) Your company is about to introduce a new product that will increase the fuel mileage on ANY gasoline-powered car by 25%. This is a genuine product that REALLY works and has received endorsements left and right as a tool to help America become less dependent on foreign oil. Utilizing the micropulverization capabilities of electronic frequency distribution, the GasEnhance device will take an automobile that gets 28 mpg and allow it to get 25% more mileage; that is, 35mpg. It REALLY works! Your cost to manufacture this product is $115.00 and installation (which is easy) requires about one hour, or about $60 for labor. What Kotler pricing strategy will you use, knowing that your competition has a similar product that will likely use a slightly different technology and that will be out in 120 days? Rumor has it that their product will provide 35% more mileage.(Points : 25)…

    John Deere Case Study

    • 1761 Words

    John Deere Component Works was a subdivision of John Deere and Company which dealt exclusively with the manufacturing of tractor component parts. By the mid 1980’s, JDCW found that its available excess capacity was increasing. To neutralize this problem JDCW attempted to take advantage of the efficiencies of its newly acquired automatic turning machines by bidding on parts offered from within the company. This lead to a direct bid of 275 of the 635 parts offered by John Deere and Company. Out of the possible 275 parts, JDCW was successful in the bidding of only 58 parts, which happened to be low volume parts. This became a concern for JDCW because its aim was to attain the bids that offered the higher volume parts, as to allow it to take advantage of its machine’s high volume efficiency. In reality, the problem for JDCW was not the number of bids they received, but the alarming discrepancy within its bid prices and that of its competitors. JDCW realized that something was wrong in their accounting system, and decided to review its current cost structures.…
