Explanation
BATNA stands for Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement. Developed by Roger Fisher and William Ury in 'Getting to Yes,' BATNA represents the most advantageous course of action a party can take if negotiations break down and no deal is reached. Knowing your BATNA gives you a clear fallback position and negotiating power - if the proposed agreement is worse than your BATNA, you walk away. ZOPA (Zone of Possible Agreement) is the range where a deal can occur; PON refers to the Program on Negotiation; Bias is a cognitive distortion, not a negotiation strategy.
