Negotiation is the process of discussing terms to reach a mutually beneficial agreement between parties with differing interests. It involves communication, persuasion, and compromise, using strategies such as bargaining, consensus-building, and conflict resolution. Effective negotiation requires preparation, understanding of the other party’s needs, and adaptability to achieve a favorable outcome for all involved.
