Successful negotiation
Three criteria of successful
negotiation
1. Produce a wise agreement if agreement
is possible
2. Be efficient
3. Improve or at least not damage the
relationship between the parties
Wise agreement
Meets the legitimate interests of each
side to the extent possible
Resolves conflicting interests fairly
Is durable
Takes community interests into account
Soft negotiator
Wants to avoid personal conflict and so
makes concessions readily in order to
reach agreement
Wants an amicable resolution
Often ends up exploited and feeling bitter
Hard negotiator
Sees any situation as a contest of wills in
which the side that takes the more
extreme positions and holds out longer
fares better
Wants to win
Often ends up producing an equally hard
response which exhausts him and his
resources and harms his relationship with
the other side
Arguing over positions
1) Produces unwise agreements
2) Is inefficient
3) Endangers an ongoing relationship
4) Is even worse when there are many
parties
5) Being nice is no answer
1) Produces unwise agreements
Locking into positions and “saving face”
Any agreement reached may reflect a
mechanical splitting of difference
2) Is inefficient
Requires a large number of individual
decisions
Creates incentives that stall settlement
Starting with an extreme position, stubbornly
holding to it, deceiving the other party as to
your true views
Substance Substance
1.1. Separate the relationship from the
substance
Dealing with a substantive problem and
maintaining a good working relationship need
not be conflicting goals if the parties are
committed and psychologically prepared to treat
each separately on its own legitimate merits
Substance Substance
1.2. Deal directly with the people
problem
To deal with psychological problems, use
psychological techniques
To find your way through the jungle of
people problem, it is useful to think in
terms of three basic categories:
perception, emotion, and communication
People problems
1.2.1. Perception
Put yourself in their shoes
Don’t deduce their intentions from your fear
Don’t blame them for your problem; even if blaming is
justified, it is usually counterproductive; separate the
symptoms from the person
Discuss each other’s perceptions
Look for opportunities to act inconsistently with
their perceptions
Give them a stake in the outcome by making
sure they participate in the process
Face-saving: Make your proposals consistent
with their values
1.2.2. Emotion
First recognize and understand emotions, theirs
and yours
Make emotions explicit and acknowledge them
as legitimate
Allow the other side to let off steam
Don’t react to emotional outbursts
Adopt the rule that only one person
could get angry at a time
Use symbolic gestures
1.2.3. Communication
Three big problems: not be talking to each other;
forget to listen; misinterpret
Listen actively and acknowledge what is being
said
Speak to be understood
Reduce distracting effect
Substance Substance
2. Focus on INTEREST, Not
Positions
For a wise solution reconcile interests,
not positions
How do you identify interests?

Interests Interests
2.1. For a wise solution reconcile
interests, not positions
Interests define the problem
For every interest there usually exist
several possible positions that could
satisfy it
Behind opposed positions lie shared and
compatible interests, as well as
conflicting ones
Behind opposed positions
2.2. How do you identify interests?
Ask “Why?” – Put yourself in their shoes
Ask “Why not?” – Think about their
choice
Realize that each side has multiple
interests
The most powerful interests are basic
human needs
Make a list
2.3. Talking about interests
Make your interests come alive
Acknowledge their interests as part of the
problem
Put the problem before your answer
Look forward, not back
Be concrete but flexible
Be hard on the problem, soft on the
people
Be hard on the problem, soft on
the people
It is wise to commit yourself to your interests

3. Invent OPTIONS for Mutual Gain
The ability to invent solutions
advantageous to both is one of the most
useful assets a negotiator can have
Four major obstacles
People usually believe that they know the right answer
ZOPA = Zone of Possible Agreement
During brainstorming
After brainstorming
What decision?
Fair procedures
4.2. Negotiating with objective criteria
Frame each issue as a joint search for objective
criteria
“What’s your theory?”
Threat
Ambiguous authority
Dubious intentions
Responses to deliberate deception
Unless you have good reason to trust
somebody, don’t, making the negotiation
proceed independent of trust
Threats
Responses to psychological warfare
If you find the physical surroundings
prejudicial, do not hesitate to say so
Recognizing the tactic and bringing it up
What is your principle?

situation so that only one side can
effectively make concessions
Refusal to negotiate
Extreme demands
Escalating demands
Lock-in tactics
Hardhearted partner
A calculated delay
“Take it or leave it”
Responses to positional pressure
tactics
Recognize the tactics as a possible negotiating ploy; talk
about that, find out their interests and suggest some
options; insist on using principles
Ask for principled justification
Call it to their attention and take a break to consider
Interpret lock-ins as goal and resist on principle
Get his agreement to the principle involved and speak
directly with the “hardhearted partner”
Create a fading opportunity
Look for a face-saving way
Don’t be a victim
Is this an approach I would use in dealing with a
good friend or a member of my family?

附:常見問題
Q1: Does positional bargaining ever
make sense?
In virtually every case, the outcome will be better
for both sides with principled negotiation. The
issue is whether it is worth the extra effort
How important is it to avoid an arbitrary outcome?
How complex are the issues?
How important is it to maintain a good working
relationship?
What are the other side’s expectations, and how hard
would they be to change?
Where are you in the negotiation?
In single-issue negotiations among strangers
where the transaction costs of exploring
interests would be high and where each side is
protected by competitive opportunities, simple
haggling over positions may work fine
Q2: What if the other side believes in a
different standard or fairness?
In most negotiation there will be no one “right”
or “fairest” answer
Make an offer
Make an investment
Understanding interests
