Investigation - Answer-first step in negotiation, the information gathering stage. First
place is to begin with yourself, what do you want? what do you not want?
Determine your BATNA - Answer-"best alternative to a negotiated agreement." thinking
through this is important to helping you decide whether to accept an offer you receive
during the negotiation. You need to know what your alternatives are, but also thinking
about the goals of the other party...what are their alternatives.
Presentation - Answer-In this phase, you assemble the information you've gathered in a
way that supports your position. You can present facts that show what you've
contributed to the organization in the past (or in a previous position), which in turn
demonstrates your value.
Bargaining - Answer-Phase where each party discusses their goals and seeks to get an
agreement. A natural part of this process is making concessions, namely, giving up one
thing to get something else in return.
Closure - Answer-At the close of a negotiation, you and the other party have either
come to an agreement on the terms, or one party has decided that the final offer is
unacceptable and therefore must be walked away from. At this point most assume their
best offer has been made and there's nothing left to do; but the savviest see the
rejection as an opportunity to learn.
Distributive view - Answer-The traditional fixed-pie approach to negotiation strategies,
negotiators see the situation as a pie that they have to divide between them. Each tries
to get more of the pie and "win."
Integrative approach - Answer-Both parties look for ways to integrate their goals under a
larger umbrella. That is, they look for ways to expand the pie, so that each party gets
more. This is also called a win-win approach.
