What is negotiation?
5
Negotiation is the process of two
or more parties working together
to arrive at a mutually acceptable
resolution of one or more issues.

Negotiation is NOT
6
When your boss gives you an order and your
ONLY choice is to do what he or she says.
If an outsider is brought in to make a decision
between parties using arbitration, the parties are
legally bound to follow the arbitrator’s decision
When parties are not working together to reach
an agreement
A contest with other parties. We are not
competing with the aim of making sure we crush
the opposition

Negotiation is
7
We aiming to do the best we can for ourselves
We are less interested in the sporting aim of
competing and more interested in looking out for
ourselves
You want to do well for yourself, but not
because you want to beat someone else
Effective negotiation is held in its proper context
as a mechanism for pursuing interest.

Features in negotiation
8
• Minimum two parties
• Predetermined goals

Interest based negotiation

• Things you say you want
• Demands
• Terms and Conditions
POSITION
• The underlying motivations
• Needs and concerns
• Fear and inspirations
INTEREST

INTEREST

Ice Berg Perception
22
• Look behind
positions for
underlying interests
• Ask “why?” and
“why not?”

The purpose of negotiation
is to satisfy your interest
and the other side’s.

DEVELOPING OPTIONS
25

Developing Options
26
4 major obstacles to developing mutual gain:
• Premature judgement
• Searching for a single answer
• Assumption of a ﬁxed “pie”
• Thinking that “solving the problem is their problem.”

DEVELOPING OPTIONS
27
Instead of dividing the pie, why not enlarging the size of the pie?

What is an options?
28
• An option is a possible agreement or part of one
• An option is not a commitment
• Options are exploring what we could do.
• Explore options before making any decision will help on
satisfying mutual interest.

Brainstorming
29

Before Brainstorming
30
• Deﬁne your purpose
• Choose a few participants
• Change the environment
• Design an informal atmosphere
• Choose a facilitator

Developing options through
brainstorming
31

Brainstorming Rules
32
• No criticism
• No commitment
• Just invent ideas
Record the ideas in full view

After Brainstorming
33
• Star the most promising ideas
• Invent improvements for promising ideas
• Set up a time to evaluate ideas and decide

Inventing options enhances the
negotiators power
34
Invent options that help meet
the interest of both sides
Do not evaluate during the
brainstorming - evaluate after the
brainstorming

*It is the best you can do WITHOUT THEM.

Should I reveal my BATNA?
36
If you have a strong one, it is worth revealing it to
your opponent.
If you have a weak one, however, it is better to keep
that detail hidden.

"The reason you negotiate is to produce
something better than the results you
can obtain without negotiating.”
— Roger Fisher & William Ury
When a proposal is better than your BATNA: ACCEPT IT!
When a proposal is worse than your BATNA: REJECT IT!

Standards: The Power of
Objective Criteria
39
Objective criteria are factual pieces of
information, independent of the parties in the
negotiation, that are relevant to what should or
should not be agreed to in that negotiation

Human response to fairness
40

Three basic points when
discussing objective criteria
41
• Frame each issue as a joint search for objective criteria
• Reason and be open to reason as to which standards are
most appropriate and how they should be applied
• Never yield to pressure, only principle

Example of Objective Criteria
42
• Market value
• Precedent
• Scientiﬁc judgement
• Professional standards
• Efﬁciency
• Costs
• Moral standards
• Equal treatment
• Tradition
• Reciprocity
