Reservation Point and
Bargaining Range (2)
Expanding the Pie
The process of adding elements to a
negotiation which help one or both sides to
gain more - a result from making negotiations
more integrative (even if they appear to be
distributive).
It is about elements that are valued differently
by each party and often they have the
characteristic that one side will gain a little,
give up nothing or suffer only a small loss in
return for a great gain to the other.
