Starting point
• Don’t Bargain Over Positions
Arguing over positions produces unwise outcomes
Arguing over positions is inefficient
Arguing over positions endangers an ongoing relationship
When there are many parties, positional bargaining is even
worse
Being nice is no answer
There is an alternative…

9. INTERESTS: OPTIONS ALTERNATIVES CRITERIA COMUNICATION RELATIONSHIP COMMITMENTS
Principle 1. Interests
The purpose of a negotiation is to satisfy your interest and the other party´s
interests
. POSITIONS
• “WHAT YOU SAY YOU
WANT” (DEMANDS, TERMS
AND CONDITIONS, etc.)
• A position is a way to satisfy
interest, a mean to an end.
INTERESTS
• UNDERLYING MOTIVATIONS,
NEEDS AND CONCERNS,
FEARS AND ASPIRATIONS
• The WHY we want
something
Negotiate the WHY….not the WHAT

Focusing on positions can lead to sub-optimal agreements
Position B Positions A and B are too far
away for a mutually
beneficial agreement

Cooperative negotiations
Fisher and Ury define negotiations as “Back and forth

shared and some interests are opposed.

12. Cooperative negotiation: Negotiating is not Compromising
The purpose of a negotiation is to
satisfy your interest and the other
parties interests
Joint problem solving: Both
parties share the problem of trying
to find an agreement that both can
live with
Finding a good agreement, that
does not leave potential joint gains
on the table
13. Principle 1. Interests preparation
UNDERTANDING Your interests:
• Why do I want what I want? Am I sure?
• My needs, concerns, goals, hopes and fears
• Have I assigned priorities to what is really important for me?
• Prepare yourself to communicate your interests clearly
UNDERSTANDING Their interests
• Make sure you understand the interests of the other side
• Ask why? What is the purpose?
• Their needs, concerns, goals, hopes and fears
• Focus on interest throughout the negotiation: please, help me
to understand your main concerns?
• Put yourself on the other persons shoes, see what drives them

Principle 2. Options
The range of possibities among which parties can reach an
agreement
Create options to satisfy interests.
An agreement is better if it incorporates many options

21. BATNA. An example. 1
In the first scenario, let's say that you are a buyer who
goes to a supplier to purchase some badly needed parts to
complete a project.
The supplier senses your urgency; his eyes begin to gleam
with anticipation. You want the lowest price possible
while he wants the higher price.
You have no fallback position. You are both on the same
boat but the supplier is holding the oars, so guess who
decides where the boat makes land?

22. BATNA. An example. 2
On the other hand, say you go to the meeting prepared. Before
arranging the meet, you set up talks with 2 other suppliers who
are ready and able to handle all your needs.
When you meet with the first supplier in this second scenario,
you can calmly sit back in your chair, and allow the supplier to
finish his spiel.
Now, watch how the supplier´s attitude changes when he
realizes his competitors willingness to solve your problem. You
have BATNA! The talks suddenly become more amenable.
