  1. The authors of ‘Getting to Yes’ (Fisher/ Ury/ Patton, 1991) are also the founders of the so-called ‘Harvard Negotiation Project’ which stands for interest-based/principled negotiations. I have chosen to use the term ‘Harvard Negotiation Project’ in this study to reflect the whole idea and not just to focus on one aspect of it.

Those are situations where single issues are negotiated and the actors will never again negotiate. Such situations are highly unlikely in the rather small but complex network markets.

Nevertheless this objection highlights that any concept for efficient negotiations must be based on values, but it obviously depends on the individual situation in the negotiation how that is handled.
