Negotiation Strategistv1.0.0

A job candidate is negotiating a starting salary. They need to determine their BATNA (other offers or current job value) and the employer's BATNA (cost to reopen search). Calculate the pie (value created by agreement) and determine the fair split and opening number.

A procurement manager is renegotiating a long-term supply contract. The supplier has an alternative buyer (BATNA), and the company has an alternative supplier (BATNA). The skill helps calculate the surplus from continued partnership and decide whether to bundle price, volume, and delivery terms.

An investment banker advising a target company needs to evaluate an acquisition offer. They identify each party's BATNA (standalone value vs. next best buyer), calculate the synergy pie, and determine a fair split considering impatience and leverage.

A union negotiator is considering a strike threat. They must quantify the union's BATNA (strike fund and lost wages) and the company's BATNA (lost production, replacement costs). The skill assesses whether to strike, propose a virtual strike, or accept the current offer based on brinkmanship dynamics.

Two companies are forming a joint venture. Each contributes resources and has outside options. The skill helps compute the joint surplus, decide whether to bundle R&D and marketing contributions into one negotiation, and determine each partner's equitable share.
