“People faced with upcoming negotiations often seek advice. Invariably, many if not most of their questions have a tactical slant: … Should I make the first contact? … Make the first offer? Start high? Concede slowly? Settle the easy issues first? Act conciliatory, though, threatening, or as a joint problem-solver? Arrange for a hard-hearted partner? Look for self-serving rationales or objective principles? …”
(from W. Breslin, J. Rubin, Negotiation Theory and Practice)
