10. BARGAINING STRATEGIES
There are two general approaches to
negotiation.
• Distributive bargaining
• Integrative bargaining
10
11. 11
DISTRIBUTIVE BARGAINING
Negotiation that seeks to divide up a fixed
amount of resources; a win–lose situation.
INTEGRATIVE BARGAINING
Negotiation that seeks one or more
settlements that can create a win–win
solution.
12. 12
EXPLANATION OF DISTRIBUTIVE
BARGAINING
• Its identifying feature is that it operates under
zero-sum conditions—that is, any gain I make
is at your expense and vice versa.
FIXED PIE
• The belief that there is only a set amount of
goods or services to be divvied up between the
parties.
14. 14
DISTRIBUTIVE BARGAINING TACTICS
Make the first offer, and make it an aggressive
one.
Anchoring bias i.e. People tend to fixate on
initial information.
Another distributive bargaining tactic is
revealing a deadline.
15. 15
EXPLANATION OF INTEGRATIVE
BARGAINING
In contrast to distributive bargaining, integrative bargaining
operates under the assumption that one or more of the
possible settlements can create a win–win solution.
In terms of intra-organizational behavior, all things being
equal, integrative bargaining is preferable to distributive
bargaining because the former builds
long-term relationships. Integrative bargaining bonds
negotiators and allows them to leave the bargaining table
feeling they have achieved a victory.
16. WAYS TO ACHIEVE MORE INTEGRATIVE
OUTCOMES
Negotiate in teams
Put more issues on the table
Focus on the underlying interests of both sides rather
than on issues
18. The Pros and Cons of Distributive Bargaining
• Some conflict resolution theorists believe that distributive bargaining is
unnecessary.
• Any conflict, they argue, may be solved cooperatively through integrative
bargaining.
• It has also been criticized because it tends to lead to destructive actions
and sometimes forces the involved parties to focus too much on their
differences
• However, in cases where the "negotiator wants to maximize the value
obtained in a single deal and when the relationship with the other party is
not important," distributive bargaining tactics may be very useful.

19. Advantages of integrative negotiation
• Integrative negotiation, on the other hand, creates a win-win situation for all
parties by focusing on the joint resolution of problems
• The integrative style’s emphasis on relationship allows parties in conflict to
maintain or develop trust.
• In addition, the shared responsibility of problem solving leads to greater
commitment to decisions
• Collaborative effort enhances the probability of successful negotiations by
discouraging groupthink and enabling parties to look at problems from
multiple perspectives.
• It can also help develop or support an organizational culture that supports
openness, diverse viewpoints, continuous questioning, and information
sharing

28. Individual Differences in Negotiation
Effectiveness
Four factors influence how effectively individuals
negotiate:
Personality,
Mood & emotions,
Gender,
Cultural negotiations
29. Personality traits in negotiation
Negotiators who are agreeable or extraverted aren’t very
successful in distributive bargaining as they are outgoing
and friendly, they tend to share more information than they
should.
So the best distributive bargainer appears to be a
disagreeable introvert, someone more interested in his or her
own outcomes.
Intelligence is a weak indicator of effectiveness
Traits do not appear to have a significantly direct effect
on the outcomes of either bargaining
30. Moods and emotions in negotiation
Emotions play an important
part in the negotiation process;
Negative emotions can cause intense
and even irrational behavior, and can
cause conflicts to escalate and
negotiations to break down.
On the other hand, positive emotions
often facilitate reaching an agreement
and help to maximize joint gains.
31. Gender differences in negotiations
Women negotiate no differently from men,
although men apparently negotiate slightly
better outcomes
Men and women with similar power bases use
the same negotiating styles
Women’s attitudes toward negotiation and their
success as negotiators are less favorable than
men’s.
Women and men take on gender stereotypes in
negotiations: tender and tough.
32. 32
Cultural Negotiations
Negotiating styles clearly vary across national
cultures
Use of question and answer methods of
negotiation were associated with negotiation
outcomes
33. 33
THIRD PARTY NEGOTIATION
Occasionally, individuals are
unable to reach direct negotiation
In such case they may turn to a
third party to help them find a
solution.
34. when should you use a third party to
negotiate on your behalf?
When the situation is either very stressful or very
emotional.
When you lack technical expertise on what you are
negotiating.
When you can’t get your ego out of the way
When your strategy is not working.
