  5. Negotiation Ability to Invent Options

  6. What is Inventing Multiple Options • Students orally give examples of negotiation with multiple Options • Car Sale Negotiation • Salary Negotiation • Union-Management Negotiation • Expanding the pie or using multiple options leads to win-win solutions

  7. Factors affecting Ability to Invent Options Fixed Pie Perceptions Ability to Invent Options Negotiation Outcome Pre-mature judgments Search for a single answer

  8. Erroneous belief that negotiators’ interests are directly opposed – gain for party A => loss for party B E.g., married couple vacation plan (ski lodge or luxury hotel) Ability to invent options Fixed pie perception Negotiation Outcome What is Fixed Pie?

  9. Ability to invent options Fixed pie perception Negotiation Outcome • Studies supporting the link: • When people believe that the gain made by one party is a loss for the other party, they are less likely to expand the pie • E.g., salary / car sales negotiation

  10. Time pressure Premature judgments Ability to invent options Studies supporting the link: • Premature judgments=commit to a course of action & find it difficult to change that course even if change could yield mutually beneficial outcomes • Time pressure increases premature judgments, prevents use of new information

  11. Ability to invent options Search for single answer Negotiation Outcome • Studies supporting the link: • When negotiators translate their interests into different constellations of offers where each offer is equivalent to other offers, then they are better able to conceive of different types of outcomes that would be equally acceptable and have improved outcomes

  12. What affects the ability to invent options? • Fixed pie perceptions • Belief that gain for one is loss for other results in poorer joint outcomes • Time pressure • Leads to commitment to a course of action or not reacting to new information resulting in poor outcomes • Search for a single answer • Having multiple equivalent offers results in better outcomes

  13. What’s next: How BATNA affects Negotiation Ability to Invent Options Negotiation Type of Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement BATNA

  14. What are BATNAs • BATNA=best alternative to negotiated agreement • The alternative that negotiators can turn to if no agreement is reached in negotiation • Students orally give examples of BATNAs in • Car Sale Negotiation • Salary Negotiation • Union-Management Negotiation

  15. Negotiation Outcome Type of BATNA Anchor point Studies supporting the link: Negotiators agree to outcomes close to the value of their BATNAs bec. BATNAs give an anchor point

  16. Mid lecture point : Three more factors affecting negotiation Type of Relationship between parties Type of Emotions Negotiation Perceptions of Parties

  17. Type of Relationship b/w parties Negotiation Outcome Negotiation Process Studies supporting the link: 1. Friends are less competitive with each other than they are with strangers 2. Friends are more willing to compromise & fail to invent options for mutual gain than are strangers

  18. Type of emotions Negotiation Outcome Negotiation Process Studies supporting the link: 1. Happy negotiations are more cooperative & identify options for greater mutual gain 2. Negotiators are less demanding and concede more with opponents who are angry

  19. Perceptions of negotiating parties Negotiation Outcome Negotiation Process Studies supporting the link: 1. Negotiators perceive concessions made by opponents as benefiting opponents and therefore devalue those concessions

  20. Perceptions of negotiating parties Negotiation Outcome Negotiation Process Studies supporting the link: 2. When negotiators evaluate proposals not knowing that opponents made those proposals, they are more likely to perceive such proposals positively

  21. How the three factors affect negotiation • Type of Relationship between parties • Friends are more conceding, less competitive, often resulting in less optimal mutually beneficial outcomes • Type of Emotions • Happy people are more cooperative and identify mutually beneficial outcomes • Perceptions of Parties • People ‘devalue’ offers proposed by the ‘other party’

  22. And finally…. How bargaining style affects negotiation Type of Relationship between parties Type of Emotions Negotiation Perceptions of Parties Ability to Invent Options Type of BATNA Bargaining Style

  23. Two Personality Dimensions affecting negotiation Extraversion Agreeableness Negotiation Process & Outcomes

  24. What is extraversion & agreeableness • Extraversion • talkativeness • assertiveness • positive affect • Agreeableness • cooperative • generous

  25. Extraversion & Agreeableness Negotiation Outcome Negotiation Process • Studies supporting the link: • Friendly, gregarious styles.. • Less likely to claim resources at table • Were more susceptible to anchoring effects due to other party’s extreme first offers and therefore, • Obtained worse outcomes

  26. Recap Type of Relationship between parties Type of Emotions Negotiation Perceptions of Parties Ability to Invent Options Type of BATNA Bargaining Style

  27. What’s next…. • Apply what you learned from reading/lecture • Plan for Ugli-Orange Negotiation Exercise • Critical thinking and argumentation via role definition • Relevance for group decision making exercise • Do Ugli-Orange Exercise • Complete questionnaire on what happened in the negotiation exercise • Group Discussion on learning from Exercise
