7. Analyzing and understanding the other party’s goals, issues, and resistance points.
8. Setting one’s own targets and opening bids.
9. Assessing the social context of negotiation
10. Presenting the issues to the other party: substance and process.
Include the following:
- An introduction explaining the importance of planning goals and strategies during the negotiation process and a description of the difference between goals and strategies.
