Negotiation
Topic
Negotiation is a dialogue between two or more parties aimed at resolving points of difference, gaining individual or collective advantages, or crafting outcomes to satisfy various interests. It is a core method of conflict resolution and dealmaking where parties seek to reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Successful negotiation involves understanding the needs and wants of all involved parties to maximize the chances of a beneficial outcome.
