Briefly define risk propensity and explain how it influences negotiator behavior.

What will be an ideal response?


Risk propensity is the extent to which a negotiator is willing to take risks. The orientation of a culture toward risk has a large effect on what is negotiated and the content of the negotiated outcome. Negotiators in risk-oriented cultures will be more willing to move early on a deal and will generally take more chances. Those in risk-avoiding cultures are more likely to seek further information and take a wait-and-see stance.
