Dear ronald there is confusion in batna. so, i have just send the information for batna. we need to discuss about it.

what is your BATNA?
BATNA(Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement).
It is highly recommended that people develop a BATNA before engaging in a negotiation. Without taking the time to develop a BATNA, you will likely be unaware of what would happen if the negotiation fails. As a result, you may feel a strong inner pressure to reach an agreement, even if it is not in your best interests. Alternatively, you may feel overly optimistic about the proposed agreements. Your optimism may cloud your view of costs associated with the agreements.

There are seven basic steps to developing a BATNA:

List what you will do if you fail to reach an agreement
Convert the most promising options into practical choices
Select the single best option (that becomes your BATNA)
If an offer is better than your BATNA, consider improving or accepting it
If an offer is worse than your BATNA, consider rejecting it
If the other party will not improve their offer, consider exercising your BATNA

One of the determinants of your power in a negotiation is the attractiveness of your BATNA as compared to the proposals made during the discussions.

The more attractive your BATNA is, compared with the proposals you receive, the more power you have in the negotiation.
The less attractive your BATNA is compared with the proposals, the less power you have in the negotiation.

Since there is a direct relationship between negotiating power and a good BATNA, it is important to improve your BATNA whenever possible.

    Protecting yourself sometimes becomes a difficult task when you are on the opposite side from the “power”. You get become “panicky” or too accommodating, forgetting that you have something the other party wants, assets. A good way to overcome these issues is to stipulate a bottom line – what you consider the worst acceptable outcome. This is a good tool to resist pressure, especially if you have someone on your side to help reinforce that limit. On the counter side, this “help” can be costly (when it involves brokers, agents…) and, too rigid, limiting our imagination and creativity to invent other solutions that could better respond to both parties’ intentions. To overcome this “incapacitation” and to make the most of the whole negotiation process, you should know your BATNA – Best Alternative To a Negotiation Agreement. By know your BATNA (a measurement tool) that not only gives you better standards but is also more flexible then bottom line solution, it allows you to use imagination and invent other solutions that better satisfy our interests, but it may also be to uncertain, not giving you an actual limit.…

    BATNA stand for best alternative to a negotiated agreement. Your BATNA reflects how dependent you are on the other party. If you are negotiating price and delivery dates and can choose from a number of reputable suppliers, then you have a strong BATNA. If on the other hand there is only one vendor who can supply you with specific, critical material on time, then you have a weak BATNA. Under these circumstances you may be forced to concede to the vendor’s demands. At the same time, you should begin to explore ways of increasing your BATNA for future negotiations, reducing your dependency on that supplier can do this. Begin to find substitutable material or negotiate better lead times with other vendors. People try to reach an agreement to produce something better than the result of not negotiating with that person. What those results would be the true benchmark for determining whether you should accept an agreement. A strong BATNA gives you the power to walk away and say, “No deal unless we work toward a win/win scenario.”…
