Lecture 34
Preparing for negotiation
• Have wish list ready for the joint resolution of issues-might be forced
to make hard value tradeoffs
• Sort out preferences on a basis of value AND order issues on a basis
of importance
• Issues need to be carefully examined as values of them can seem to
be greater but in fact are not
• Additive scoring: assigning “part marks” to issues, tradeoff, then add
up the scores over the issues
BATNA
• Additive scoring assists with the ‘cutoff score’ which determines
acceptance cutoff on agreement
• Examining cut offs requires deep thinking as it requires analysis of
BATNA scoring on 100 point additive scale as BATNA is improved,
so is power in negotiation (because there is less to loose)
Consideration of the other side’s interests
• Before negotiating, must do homework about other sides
preferences, value tradeoffs and BATNA
• Should structure the other sides values and opportunities, which will
effect strategy for negotiation
• Notion of interpersonal comparison of preferences is an important
consideration (value of results)
