    Introduction to Negotiation

    • Negotiation is a process where two or more parties attempt to resolve their opposing interests.
    • Negotiation occurs to share resources, create opportunities, and resolve disputes.

    Characteristics of a Negotiation Situation

    • There are two or more parties involved in a negotiation situation.
    • Negotiations involve a conflict of needs and desires between the parties, requiring them to find a solution.
    • Parties negotiate by choice, believing it will improve their outcome.
    • Give-and-take is expected in negotiations, involving modifications to initial proposals and concessions.

    Mutual Adjustment

    • Mutual adjustment is key in negotiation, where both parties modify their positions to find common ground.
    • It's a continuous process of exchanging information and making concessions.

    Value Claiming and Creation

    • Two types of interdependent situations exist: zero-sum (distributive) and non-zero-sum (integrative/mutual gains)
    • Zero-sum (distributive) situations involve claiming value, where one party gains at the expense of the other. The focus is on maximizing individual gain.
    • Non-zero-sum (integrative/mutual gains) situations focus on creating value, where both parties strive to find solutions that benefit all involved, leading to a win-win scenario.
    • Most negotiations involve a combination of claiming and creating value.

    Conflict

    • Conflict is a natural part of negotiation, but it can be destructive if not managed effectively.
    • Conflict can be productive, leading to awareness, change, and relationship strengthening.
    • Negotiations are a strategy for managing conflict productively and controlling destructive elements.

    Levels of Conflict

    • Intrapersonal (within oneself)
    • Interpersonal (between individuals)
    • Intragroup (within a group)
    • Intergroup (between groups)
    • Societal (across different societal groups)
