What I learnt at Wharton Business SchoolWharton - Negotiations Course
The course has two purposes.
First, develop theories to guide negotiations. (That’s the science.)
Second, develop & sharpen negotiating skills. (That’s the art.)
15
Negotiation
The process whereby two or more parties decide what to give and take in their relationship,
and through a process of mutual influence,
come to an agreed course of action.

Principled Negotiation
Focuses on WIN-WIN OUTCOMES.
With any negotiation being judged by the following criteria
1. It should be a WISE AGREEMENT

#9 - Find the ZOPA
•ZOPA = Zone Of Possible Agreement
•e.g. when a buyer’s maximum price is higher than the seller’s minimum price
•Asking questions can help you find out if there is a ZOPA
•No ZOPA / No DEAL36
#10 - Know your BATNA
