Abstract

For the past two decades, negotiation research has established a first‐mover advantage based on the anchoring and adjustment heuristic. Negotiation scholars have argued that first offers serve as anchors that affect both counteroffers and settlement prices. Consequently, management education—including negotiation articles, books, courses, and seminars—often recommends that negotiators move first to “anchor” their counterparts. Nonetheless, a growing body of recent research contradicts this general advice and points to a second‐mover advantage in specific cases. Interestingly, this contradiction was termed the “practitioner‐researcher paradox,” as practitioners and negotiation experts appeared to understand the benefits of moving second in negotiations, which scholars—up until recently—generally have overlooked. The current article offers a solution to this paradox by proposing three key factors that might explain the conditions and circumstances of first‐ versus second‐mover advantage in negotiations. These three factors are central in negotiation research and practice: information, power, and strategy. Given the centrality of first offers in negotiations, the solution to this paradox is crucial for negotiation scholars, businesspeople, managers, and anyone else who finds themselves in a negotiation.
出价还是不出价?这就是问题所在!谈判中的先发优势与后发优势
在过去的二十年里,谈判研究已经建立了基于锚定和调整启发式的先发优势。谈判学者认为,首次报价是影响还价和结算价格的锚。因此,管理教育——包括谈判文章、书籍、课程和研讨会——通常建议谈判者首先“锚定”他们的对手。尽管如此,最近越来越多的研究与这一一般建议相矛盾,并指出在特定情况下具有后发优势。有趣的是,这种矛盾被称为“从业者-研究者悖论”,因为从业者和谈判专家似乎理解在谈判中屈居第二的好处,而直到最近,学者们普遍忽视了这一点。本文提出了三个关键因素,可以解释谈判中先发优势与后发优势的条件和情况,从而解决了这一矛盾。这三个因素是谈判研究和实践的核心:信息、权力和战略。考虑到首次报价在谈判中的中心地位,解决这一悖论对谈判学者、商人、经理和其他任何参与谈判的人来说都至关重要。
