Solution Preview

Six common mistakes lead to an impasse in negotiation. The first mistake is when one party neglects the other side's problem, which results from a lack of understanding. Other mistakes include when there is an overemphasis on price, and when parties take positions over interests. Impasses can occur when parties focus too heavily on common ground instead of recognizing differences. By doing so, the parties may miss valuable opportunities to find creative resolutions to key differences. Another mistake is neglecting the best alternative to a negotiated agreement, and adjusting the perceptions of parties throughout the negotiation process.
