BATNA was developed by negotiation researchers Roger Fisher and William Ury of the Harvard Program on Negotiation (PON), in their series of books on principled negotiation that started with Getting to YES (1981), equivalent to the game theory concept of a disagreement point from bargaining problems pioneered by Nobel Laureate John Forbes Nash decades earlier.
The first edition of the book was published in 1981. [1] By 1987, the book had been adopted in several U.S. school districts to help students understand "non-adversarial bargaining". [5] In 1991, the book was issued in a second edition with Bruce Patton, an editor of the first edition, listed as a co-author. [2]
Distributive negotiations, or compromises, are conducted by putting forward a position and making concessions to achieve an agreement. The degree to which the negotiating parties trust each other to implement the negotiated solution is a major factor in determining the success of a negotiation.
The more value they have created, the easier this will be, [16] but research suggests that parties default very easily into positional bargaining when they try to finalize details of agreements. [17] Parties should divide value by finding objective criteria that all parties can use to justify their “fair share” of the value created.
Cooperative bargaining is a process in which two people decide how to share a surplus that they can jointly generate. In many cases, the surplus created by the two players can be shared in many ways, forcing the players to negotiate which division of payoffs to choose.
Strategic Negotiations: A Theory of Change in Labor-Management Relations, a 1994 Harvard Business School Press publication, is a book on negotiation by the authors; Richard E. Walton, Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, and Robert McKersie. [1] The book explains concepts and strategies of negotiation to the reader.
Suppose a zero-sum game has a payoff matrix M where element M i,j is the payoff obtained when the minimizing player chooses pure strategy i and the maximizing player chooses pure strategy j (i.e. the player trying to minimize the payoff chooses the row and the player trying to maximize the payoff chooses the column).
Rubinstein bargaining has become pervasive in the literature because it has many desirable qualities: It has all the aforementioned requirements, which are thought to accurately simulate real-world bargaining. There is a unique solution. The solution is pretty clean, which wasn't necessarily expected given the game is infinite.
