English term or phrase: BATNA
Definition from TapRun.com:
Acronym for 'best alternative to negotiated agreement.' It is the next-most desirable choice a potential customer has with respect to your offering. The more alluring the BATNA, the lower your pricing power becomes. Note that 'doing nothing' can be a BATNA.

Example sentence(s):
  • BATNA is often used in negotiation tactics and should always be considered before a negotiation takes place. It is never wise to enter into a serious negotiation without knowing your BATNA. Corporate Finance Institute
  • The power of your BATNA affords you the leverage to ask for more. If you don’t get what you’re looking for, then you can turn to your best alternative. A strong BATNA is like a warm, fuzzy insurance policy. A strong alternative provides you with two possibilities. Either you reach an agreement with more favorable terms, or you simply say “no deal,” because you have a good alternative plan. Negotiation Experts
  • This type of BATNA asymmetry can occur in several varieties (e.g., no BATNA vs. strong BATNA, or deals where the incentives on each side are completely different). A negotiator’s BATNA-based power in these situations is virtually meaningless as would be any corresponding strategy based on the same. Harvard Business Review

MOTA (Mejor Opcion para Transar un Arreglo)


Definition from own experience or research:
Si queremos crear una sigla equivalente en espanol, MOTA podria ser una opcion.

Example sentence(s):
  • MOTA suele usarse como tactica para negociar, y deberia tenerse en cuenta antes de transar un arreglo. - My own suggestion 

Explanation:
Lo que no tiene mucho sentido en ingles no hay que copiarlo en espanol.
