Case-study: price negotiation between Amazon and whole foods

Abstract

This project illustrates the key strategic issues involved in price negotiations and discusses the main concepts and ideas to analyze such situations. In particular, this report presents a casestudy of a price negotiation to be used in Masters Programs and executive education workshops, as well as an analysis of the case-study. The case-study is based on a real-life price negotiation which happened in the context of an acquisition process between a global online retailer (the acquirer, Amazon.com, renamed Borneo) and a natural and biological certified grocery store (the target, Whole Foods Market, renamed Fit Veggies). The report is organized as follows: we start by briefly describing the negotiation between Amazon and Whole Foods. We then present the case-study, particularly the general and confidential instructions for both parties. Finally, we conduct a case review introducing the main ideas for analysis of a price negotiation
