  4. Why Are Interests Important? There are two main reasons why a negotiator will want to learn the other party’s underlying interests: If the two negotiators’ interests are compatible and a deal can be worked out, then discovering the shared interests forms the basis of the negotiation. If the negotiators’ interests are incompatible, discovering the other negotiator’s interests is extremely valuable strategic information. Source: Matthew P. Guasco & Peter R. Robinson, Principles of Negotiation

  5. Why Are Interests Important? No matter which approach a negotiator uses, knowing the other side’s underlying interests means a negotiator can fashion an offer that attempts to meet the other side’s interests and needs. Most negotiations take place in the context of an ongoing relationship where it is important to carry on each negotiation in a way that will help rather than hinder future relations and future negotiations.
