Chapter 5 Choosing Your Strategy
Win-lose strategies: Recap • Also known as bargaining, haggling or positional bargaining • Get what you want using power • Power generates resistance as reaction • Conditions: big power difference & short-term concern • Riskier on average than win-win
POSITION A or No Deal • POSITION B or No Deal • Final Offer or No Deal • Final Offer or No Deal • Last Offer or No Deal • Last Offer or No Deal • FinalLast Offer or No Deal • FinalLast Offer or No Deal • Compromise orNo deal The bargaining process • Simple, well-known, intuitive • “TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT” (“Tioli”)
The bargaining tension • Hard party: Tries to squeeze the most possible value • Soft party: Tries to build a relationship at any cost Any combination sacrifices value: Still “take it or leave it”
Win-win strategies: Recap • Get what you want independently from power • Collaboration and communication: no resistance • Tit-for-tat: proactive, clear communication towards a value-focused process • Higher value at lower risk than win-lose Value
Negotiation: More than one • Boulwarism: negotiation strategy from 1950s • Two main steps: • Data analysis to determine maximum wage • Present “first, last and best offer” on a “take-it-or-leave it” basis
NEGOTIATION RELATIONSHIP SUBSTANCE COMMUNICATION Trust Value Process The three negotiations • Boulwarism did not consider all 3 negotiations: Unilateral approaches create a power play perception: RISKY!
NEGOTIATION RELATIONSHIP SUBSTANCE COMMUNICATION Manipulation Power differences Information asymmetry The three win-lose negotiations • Win-lose strategies treat each negotiation as a different power source
NEGOTIATION RELATIONSHIP SUBSTANCE COMMUNICATION Trust Value Process The three win-win negotiations • Win-win strategies explore all three negotiations to unlock their value potential • Independent • Simultaneous • Parallel • Interconnected
The three win-win negotiations Ultimate purpose of relationship & communication negotiation: To maximize the substance negotiation value NEGOTIATION RELATIONSHIP SUBSTANCE COMMUNICATION Trust Value Process
Focus on value • Demonstrates to the other party that there is no need for a race for power • Can be difficult in two situations: • The only thing they concentrate on is power • Easy power moves continuously present themselves
Promote the dialogue pattern • A balancing effort to reduce power differences • Reduces or eliminates unilateral moves • Every move can be a value or power move • When reciprocating value-focused moves: Reward Good Behavior
Negotiate autonomously • Mixing the 3 negotiations rewards bad behavior • Example: FARC in Colombia • The president gave away piece of land (substance) in hopes of starting a relationship + communication process • Established a negative negotiation pattern of unilateral substance demands
Avoid trading between negotiations • Separate and negotiate substance and relationship through different channels “Hard on the problem, soft on the person”
Learning reduces information asymmetry and the temptation to bargain. Promote learning • Learn as much as possible from the available data • Boulwarism failed the hardest: Did not learn what the unions’ interests really were
Proactively diagnose • Seek further information to make the best possible decision • DIAGNOSE to clarify before deciding
