Abstract
Is ethical negotiating not only "the right thing to do," but also effective in achieving desired outcomes? Various ethical criteria (the Golden Rule, Universalism, Utilitarianism, Distributive Justice) are used to evaluate ten commonly used negotiation tactics (lies, puffery, deception, weakening the opponent, strengthening one''s own position, nondisclosure, information exploitation, change of mind, distraction, and maximization). Some negotiating ploys are unqualifiedly unethical; some are inherently ethical; some are contingently ethical. Unethical bargaining can reap onetime benefits, but in the long run it damages relationships, sullies reputations, and actually closes the door on many potentially fruitful transactions.
