The four horsemen of power at the bargaining table
Abstract
This paper aims to identify and discuss four major sources of power in negotiations: alternatives, information, status and social capital. Each of these sources of power can enhance a negotiator's likelihood of obtaining their ideal outcome because power allows negotiators to be more confident and proactive, and it shields them from the bargaining tactics of their opponents.
