Abstract Good preparation is the key to success in negotiation. It has been suggested that 80% of a negotiation's outcome is determined by the skills of the parties in preparing for it. During preparation, two key questions should be addressed: What are one's own objectives and what are the needs of the other side? Negotiators are most successful when they operate in the context of understanding their own short- and long-term objectives, strategies and ethical standards. Knowing your long-term objectives allows you to be creative and flexible. As one goes into a negotiation, the short-term objective is to get a deal. One should have prepared by specifying the outcomes that are desired from the negotiation, and these outcomes are compatible with and contribute to one's long-term objectives.
