3. 3 A Decision-Analytic Approach to Negotiations Raiffa’s decision-analytic approach to negotiations (1982; 2001). Three key sets of information determine the structure of the negotiation game
Each party’s alternative to a negotiated agreement – Best alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA)
Each party’s set of interests
The relative importance of each party’s interests
Again think about the splitting $5000 game. If both Mark and you are rational and negotiation is allowed, what are the possible outcomes?
What is the range of your preference?
What is the possibly acceptable split that Mark will likely to accept?
4. 4 Claiming Value in Negotiation
5. 5 Claiming Value in Negotiation
6. 6 Creating Value in Negotiation The case of the Sinai Peninsula negotiation between Egypt and Israel (p138)
Intuitive: behind the facial issue there are some interests for negotiating parties. The purpose of solving the issue is to benefit both sides’ interests. If these interests can be identified, it is possible to find a better way to reach the agreement without worrying too much about the difficult issue.
7. 7 Creating Value in Negotiation
8. 8 An Extended Example: The Case of El-Tek The case of El-Tek
Selling Z-25 to whom? AD vs. MD
AD’s concern: Losing market competitive advantage if the material is sold to a rival company
9. 9 An Extended Example: The Case of El-Tek Three underlying issues
Transfer price
AD’s competitor protection
El-Tek’s competitor protection
El-Tek’s benefit = AD’s benefit + MD’s benefit
Reality: without careful coordination and systematical value creating, El-Tek’s benefit may not be optimized.
Need to adopt the effective techniques to avoid stalled negotiation caused by needless arguments over conflicting predictions about uncertain future.
10. 10 An Extended Example: The Case of El-Tek Claiming value
Creating value by identifying additional issues
Creating value through bets
Avoid overvaluing
Ways in which contingent contracts cam improve the outcomes
Bets build on differences to joint value
Bets help manage biases
Bets diagnose disingenuous parties
Bets establish incentives for contractual performance
Using risk, temporal, and other differences to create value
Gathering information to create value in negotiation
Build trust and share information
Ask questions
Strategically disclose information
Make multiple offers simultaneously
Search for post-settlement settlements
11. 11 Negotiation with Multiple Criteria Pareto Efficiency and Pareto Frontier
An example of negotiation with the exchange of two goods.
12. 12 Pareto efficiency Pareto efficiency, or Pareto optimality, is an important notion in neoclassical economics with broad applications in game theory, engineering and the social sciences.
Given a set of alternative allocations and a set of individuals, a movement from one allocation to another that can make at least one individual better off, without making any other individual worse off, is called a Pareto improvement or Pareto optimization.
An allocation of resources is Pareto efficient or Pareto optimal when no further Pareto improvements can be made.
For a given system, the Pareto Frontier is the set of parameterizations (allocations) that are all Pareto efficient. Finding Pareto Frontiers is particularly useful in engineering.
13. 13 The Exchange of Beer vs. Bread Alice has a half dozen bottles of beer ($1 each bottle) and Bob possesses 6 loaves of bread ($0.8 dollar each). Alice wants some bread and Bob wants some bear. They exchange their possessions.
How will this be done?
