ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Getting to Yes," by Roger Fisher and William Ury, presents a method for principled negotiation applicable in various situations. The book argues against positional bargaining and instead advocates for a focus on interests, not positions, while emphasizing the importance of separating the people from the problem. It also encourages negotiators to invent options for mutual gain and insist on using objective criteria. The authors offer techniques to navigate challenging situations, like dealing with more powerful parties, or facing negotiators who use dirty tactics. The book introduces the concept of B.A.T.N.A, the best alternative to a negotiated agreement, as a powerful tool. Ultimately, it aims to guide readers toward wise agreements that are reached efficiently and amicably.
