Interest-Based Negotiation

Négociation raisonnée

Description

Interest-based negotiation is a method that does not aim to ensure that each party receives complete satisfaction of its claims, but rather that an agreement which all judge to be fair is adopted, without recourse to pressure tactics or special tricks, at the end of a hearing conducted with respect for those involved. It is therefore a way to look for a compromise equally removed from the expectations of each party, one that respects the basic needs of each and preserves their integrity. It is more a “no one loses” negotiation.

Target audience

Those responsible for or involved in purchasing, logistics or procurement services.
