INSIGHT

Pareto Optimality and Superiority

  • Pareto optimal solutions represent the best possible outcome, where any change leads to a decline in at least one aspect.
  • Pareto superior solutions improve certain aspects without worsening others, making them ideal in negotiations.
ADVICE

Winning Negotiations

  • Win negotiations by caring less than the other party, as excessive desire allows them to leverage higher prices.
  • If outmatched in a negotiation, turn it from a short-term interaction into a long-term one.
ANECDOTE

Home Renovation Negotiation

  • Home renovations are a prime example of high-cost, low-information, single-move games where cheating is probable.
  • Turn such scenarios into multi-move games by staging payments or leveraging reputation and reviews.
