The Distributive Bargaining Situation
• Goals of one party are in fundamental , direct conflict to another party– “Win-Lose” -- “Slicing the Pie”
• Resources are fixed and limited– “The more one gets, the less the other gets”
• Maximizing one’s own share of resources is the goal
![Page 4: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Opinions on Distributive Bargaining
1. Some people like it: -- they define “Negotiation” as distributive.
2. Others:– Avoid it at all costs– Confrontational– Destructive
• Regardless, you need to know it because:1. Some situations
require it
2. Needed when we Claim Value in “Win-Win” negotiations
3. Some like to use it against you.

Summary of Use
• We use this strategy for:– One-Time Deals: Car Purchase, Condo
• When:– Relationship is not important
• Or:– When we reach the Claiming Value stage
of other negotiation strategies

The Distributive Bargaining Situation
Need advance preparation to set a:• Target point, aspiration point
– What we would like to get
• Walk-away or resistance point– What price we will not go beyond
• Asking price or initial offer– People expect a give and take– Need to consider this activity– Danger: too high or too low

The Role of Alternatives to a Negotiated Agreement
• Alternatives = 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

Fundamental Strategies
1. Push for settlement near opponent’s resistance point
2. Get the other party to change their resistance point
3. Convince the other party that the settlement is the best possible
![Page 11: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Keys to the Strategies
The keys to implementing any of the four strategies are:1. Discovering the other party’s resistance
point
2. Influencing the other party’s resistance point
Information is valuable – target price, RP, motives, feelings, confidence…
![Page 12: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
…
• How do you influence the other party in your negotiations???
![Page 13: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tactical Tasks of Negotiators
• Assess outcome values and the costs of termination for the other party
• Manage the other party’s impressions– What they think about your offer
• Modify the other party’s perceptions– What they think about their situation
• Manipulate the actual costs of delay or termination
![Page 14: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Assess Outcome Values and the Costs of Termination for the Other
Party
• Indirectly– Determine information the opponent
used to set their:• Target point• Resistance points
• Directly– Opponent reveals the information
How?
![Page 15: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Piano…
What was the value of information in this example?
![Page 16: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Manage the Other Party’s Impressions
1. Screen your behavior:– Say and do as little as possible
2. Selective presentation:– Use a representative (realtors, car dealers, one way information)
– Snow Job/ Kitchen Sink (unrelated information, used to hide important info)
3. Direct action to alter impressions:– Present facts that enhance one’s position– “If I accept / implement your offer, these are my
costs/risks”
4. Use emotion or time to show/hide importance
![Page 17: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Modify the Other Party’s Perceptions
• Make outcomes appear less attractive– Add the extra activities, risks
• 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
![Page 18: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Manipulate the Actual Costs of Delay or Termination
• Plan disruptive action– Raise the costs of delay to the other party (coffee drinkers in
restaurant)• Form an alliance with outsiders
– Involve (or threaten to involve) other parties who can influence the outcome in your favor ( BBB or Government Regulator)
• Schedule manipulations– One party is usually more vulnerable to delay than the other– Place items where you have an advantage (beginning or
end)
As everyone has deadlines…
![Page 19: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Positions Taken During Negotiations
• Opening offer – Who?– First offer generally has
advantage…sets anchor.
• Opening stance -- what is your attitude? (competitive, moderate)– Belligerent - powerful– Matching stance - equal– ”Lets be reasonable
people who can solve the problem”
• Where will you start? (modest or exaggerated)– Exaggerated:
• Room to negotiate• Signal a lot of work to
progress/ signal need for concessions
• Error in planning by other side (they estimated wrong)
• Foolish, rejected, may damage relationship
– Moderate (expected)
![Page 20: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
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– People expect a
progression, shows willingness to cooperate
• Packaged offers (a&b for c&d)
• Final offer (making a commitment)– “This is all I can do”
• Pre-prepared final offers- Mgmt calculates offer & dictates:– Lack of two way
communication– No listening, respect or
legitimacy for other side.

Concession Patterns
![Page 22: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Guidelines for Making Concessions
![Page 23: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Commitments: Tactical Considerations
• Establishing a commitment– Three properties:
• Finality, Specificity, Consequences
• Preventing the other party from committing prematurely, why?– Their commitment reduces your flexibility– Sometimes viewed as a threat– Both parties may become stuck,
deadlocked.
![Page 24: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Commitments: Tactical Considerations
Ways to abandon a committed position:1. Plan a way out
“Given this new information, I may need to re-think my earlier position”
2. Let it die silently
3. Restate the commitment in more general terms
4. Minimize the damage to the relationship if the other backs off
5. Use technicalities: financing clause, quality discrepancy
![Page 25: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Closing the Deal
1. Provide alternatives (2 or 3 equal value options)
2. Assume the close (Start the paperwork)
3. Split the difference (Assumes both sides started with fair initial offers)
4. Exploding offers (expires in 24 hours, preventing party from developing other alternatives)
5. Deal sweeteners (bonuses, furnishings for a condo, upgrades for a car)
![Page 26: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dealing with Typical Hardball Tactics
• Four main options:– Ignore them– Discuss them– Respond in kind– Co-opt the other party (befriend them)
![Page 27: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Typical Hardball Tactics
• Good Cop/Bad Cop• Lowball/Highball• Bogey (playing up an issue of little
importance)• Chicken• Intimidation Aggressive Behavior• Snow Job (overwhelm the other party
with information)
![Page 28: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Good Cop / Bad Cop
• Police interrogation technique– One rough,
intimidating– One helpful, kind; tries
to reach a quick agreement before the other returns.
– Bad cop goes to cool off (make a phone call) and good cop negotiates a confession.
• Easy to identify• Easy to call-out –
simply state that you know what they are up to.
• Difficult for negotiators to act out. Takes a lot of energy that might be used to capture information.
![Page 29: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Low Ball / High Ball
• Start with a ridiculously low (high) opening offer.
• Idea is that the extreme offer will cause negotiator to re-evaluate their opening offer
• Risk is that opponent will quit negotiating.
• Must be communication savvy in order to return to the negotiating table after a failed extreme offer.
• Don’t counter offer, ask opponent to make a more reasonable offer. Based on fair values (ch 4)
![Page 30: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Bogey
• Focus on an issue that is not important to you. Pretend that it is critical.
• Get agreement… then later use it to
trade off for something you really want.
• Very deceptive, may be difficult to act out.
• Both sides are arguing for something that they do not really want.
• Ask probing questions to avoid getting caught: “Why do they value that issue?” List all issues. Watch out for sudden reversals in positions.
![Page 31: Strategy and Tactics of Distrtibutive Negotiation [Sav Lecture]](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5550bd4db4c905ff618b4ff1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Chicken: Two cars driving towards each other, who turns?
• A large bluff & threat
• If the union does not concede the factory will shut down.
• High stakes gamble.
• Becomes a dangerous game instead of a calculated negotiation.
• May be more attractive when circumstances are dire.

US – Iraq Relations: International Chicken
Saddam Hussein stopped UN Weapons Inspections ~ November 1, 1998
US said (commitment) if UN inspectors could not continue, the US would bomb suspected chemical plants in Iraq.
Un Envoy Shaw was waiting for Saddam’s response while US sent B52 Bombers towards Bagdad.
Shaw received a letter, translated it and learned that Iraq would comply, minutes before the missiles / bombs were to be launched.
4 weeks later, Iraq again stopped UN inspections and the US initiated a 4 day bombing attach. (follow thru)

Intimidation / Aggressive Behavior
• Forced agreement through fear, emotional ploy, anger.
• Increasing the appearance of legitimacy: written corporate forms, company policy
• Guilt: push negotiator to defend their honesty, integrity diverting attention away from real negotiating issues.
• When it occurs:– Explain that your
policy is to bargain fairly, in a respectful manner. You expect the same in return.
– Authority carries no value in negotiations, you are equals.
– It does not deserve the emotional liability.

Snow Job
• Overwhelm the other party with too much information.
• Used as distractions
• Often used by governments, in 1,000 page press releases
• On Friday afternoons
• To Counter:– Ask questions until
satisfied.
– Assign technical experts as necessary (separate meetings)
– Listen carefully to all statements and look for inconsistencies.

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
