Strategies and stratagems of negotiation

Negotiation is a dynamic process through two or more persons are discussing about some problems in order to reach a satisfactory agreement on common interest. The techniques of negotiation represent procedures, methods used by negotiators to approach the process. In this process, it is important to know how to handle the problems that appear in the negotiation in achieving the desired result. For winning the negotiation, the person who applies to the discussion needs to anticipate the steps that are taken by his partner and what kind of situation might call for his skills as a negotiator. The act of negotiation has four phases: preparation- identification of interest, debate- direct communication, proposal-suggestion in finding a solution and bargaining-obtaining a result.
