Overview
Think about a time when you were involved in a negotiation process—specifically, one where you were the person who ended up being persuaded to do a particular thing (e.g., buying a car, choosing to eat at a particular restaurant, becoming a student at the University of Phoenix, watching a certain movie, etc.).
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
- In the instance you thought of, what factors were most important in persuading you to act?
- What role did reason, or factual argument, play in persuading you?
- What role did emotion play in persuading you?
- How might using an AI tool to draft or plan a persuasive message reduce, distort, or remove emotional elements, and what influence do you think that would have on the effectiveness of your message in a business context?
- Should there be any restrictions on the ways you’re allowed to communicate with others for business communications (e.g., the tone in which you communicate with someone or the kinds of information to share)? Why or why not?
