What is Negotiation?
Negotiation involves movement from the first offer each party makes to a common position they are prepared to settle at. The most appropriate way to discover that a common solution is to negotiate by trading with the other parties.
A skilled negotiator improves their performance to the extent that they cease conceding unilaterally and become skilled in trading.
