Target, Just Accept

The poorest outcome and the least demanding target is one that you can just accept. Beyond this level you will have to walk away. Accordingly, as part of negotiation preparation, negotiators are encouraged to define a range of objectives, including the poorest outcome that you can accept, and use that as part of their objective setting. See also Planning, Negotiation and Target, Ideal.
