Thesis (M.A.) (Public Administration) --University of Limpopo, 2007. / The purpose of the research was to investigate how public school principals apply negotiation skills to resolve conflicts in schools. Semi-structured interviews were used for public school principals of Mopani District, in Limpopo Province Department of Education, to collect data. The findings were consistent with the work of other researchers that found that only a handful of public school principals had undergone training to prepare them to be effective and efficient school managers. Therefore, this study recommends that the Department of Education in Limpopo Province should provide in-service training for these public school principals, so as to enhance their management and leadership abilities.

As a result of the prevailing of international global e-commerce, e-negotiation had become a common form of individuals or enterprise's administrators everyday. In addition due to the growing of the internet and communication technology, e-negotiation had not limited the e-mail anymore. An increasing number of individuals or enterprises exploit synchronous way, such as instant messenger to conduct business over the internet. As more organizations and individuals face a choice between these technologies, we need to understand the impact of communication media on negotiation process and outcome. Otherwise, studies comparing traditional mode with CMC negotiations concentrate mainly on the criterion of multiple cues. The possibility to provide immediate feedback, which is determined by the communication mode synchronous vs. asynchronous), has not been considered so far. Therefore, the purpose of this research is based on the criterion of immediate feedback, and to explore how the e-negotiation mode impact negotiation process. Furthermore we also explore how these process impact the result of decision quality. The study shows that when negotiators use synchronous e-negotiation system, they have greater control level, higher ability of evaluation others¡¦ deception and clearer message in the process of negotiation. Furthermore, negotiators¡¦ control level, task-oriented communication, perceptions of others¡¦ deception and message clarity will positive impact decision quality.

Within today's irregular warfare environment, negotiations with insurgents are difficult because, in part, insurgents are often characterized as terrorists. Early in the Iraqi conflict, there was a perceived notion that the insurgent and terrorist were morphing into one entity. This perceived morphing has, arguably, influenced some US policy makers and senior military leaders to be very reluctant to negotiate with Iraqi Insurgents. Acknowledging such a reluctance, this thesis will focus on the role of negotiation in countering insurgencies. During the examination of historical cases of negotiations with insurgents, this thesis identifies commonalities within the case studies and tests the thesis' hypotheses. The conceptual framework utilizes several publications and articles to determine the feasibility and suitability of the information collected from case studies, to determine the role negotiations can play in countering an insurgency. The commonalities gathered from the historical case studies and analysis of the conceptual framework serves as the foundation to construct a notional negotiation strategy to counter the insurgency in Iraq. In conjunction with the information gathered from the historical case studies and literary surveys, this thesis applies a theoretical model and defined terms to act as steering mechanisms when developing a notional negotiation strategy. / US Army (USA) author.
