    1. CHAPTER TWO Strategy and Tactics of Distributive Bargaining

    2. 2-2

    3. 2-3 The Distributive Bargaining Situation Goals of one party are in fundamental,direct conflict to another party Resources are fixed and limited Maximizing one’s own share of resources is the goal for both parties

    4. 2-4 The Distributive Bargaining Situation Situation includes: Starting points (initial offers) Target points Resistance points (walkaway) Alternative outcomes

    5. 2-5 The Distributive Bargaining Situation

    6. 2-6 The Role of Alternatives to a Negotiated Agreement Alternatives give the negotiator power to walk away from the negotiation If alternatives are attractive, negotiators can: Set their goals higher Make fewer concessions If there are no attractive alternatives: Negotiators have much less bargaining power

    7. 2-7 The Distributive Bargaining Situation

    8. 2-8 Fundamental Strategies Push for settlement near opponent’s resistance point Get the other party to change their resistance point If settlement range is negative, either: Get the other side to change their resistance point Modify your own resistance point Convince the other party that the settlement is the best possible

    9. 2-9 Keys to the Strategies The keys to implementing any of the four strategies are: Discovering the other party’s resistance point Influencing the other party’s resistance point

    10. 2-10 Tactical Tasks of Negotiators Assess outcome values and the costs of termination for the other party Manage the other party’s impressions Modify the other party’s perceptions Manipulate the actual costs of delay or termination

    11. 2-11 Assess the Other Party’s Target, Resistance Point, and Costs of Terminating Negotiations Indirectly Determine information opponent used to set: Target Resistance points Directly Opponent reveals the information

    12. 2-12 Manage the Other Party’s Impressions Screen your behavior: Say and do as little as possible Direct action to alter impressions Present facts that enhance one’s position

    13. 2-13 Modify the Other Party’s Perceptions Make outcomes appear less attractive Make the cost of obtaining goals appear higher Make demands and positions appear more or less attractive to the other party – whichever suits your needs

    14. 2-14 Manipulate the Actual Costs of Delay or Termination Plan disruptive action Raise the costs of delay to the other party Form an alliance with outsiders Involve (or threaten to involve) other parties who can influence the outcome in your favor Schedule manipulations One party is usually more vulnerable to delaying than the other

    15. 2-15 Positions Taken During Negotiations Opening offers Where will you start? Opening stance What is your attitude? Competitive? Moderate? Initial concessions Should any be made? If so, how large?

    16. 2-16 Positions Taken During Negotiations The role of concessions Without them, there is either capitulation or deadlock Patterns of concession making The pattern contains valuable information Final offers (making a commitment) “This is all I can do”

    17. 2-17 Commitments: Tactical Considerations Establishing a commitment Three properties: Finality Specificity Consequences Preventing the other party from committing prematurely Their commitment reduces your flexibility

    18. 2-18 Ways to Create a Commitment Public pronouncement Linking with an outside base Increase the prominence of demands Reinforce the threat or promise

    19. 2-19 Commitments: Tactical Considerations Ways to abandon a committed position Plan a way out Let it die silently Restate the commitment in more general terms Minimize the damage to the relationship if the other backs off

    20. 2-20 Closing the Deal Provide alternatives (2 or 3 packages) Assume the close Split the difference Exploding offers Deal sweeteners

    21. 2-21 Dealing with Typical Hardball Tactics Four main options: Ignore them Discuss them Respond in kind Co-opt the other party (befriend them)

    22. 2-22 Typical Hardball Tactics Good Cop/Bad Cop Lowball/Highball Bogey (playing up an issue of little importance) The Nibble (asking for a number of small concessions to)

    23. 2-23 Typical Hardball Tactics Chicken Intimidation Aggressive Behavior Snow Job (overwhelm the other party with information)

    24. 2-24 Summary Negotiators need to: Set a clear target and resistance points Understand and work to improve their BATNA Start with good opening offer Make appropriate concessions Manage the commitment process
