There are few things that are simpler in definition yet broader in scope than negotiating. Every single desire demands some form of satisfaction, and every need seeks to be fulfilled. Whenever people exchange ideas with the intention of changing relationships to fulfill needs, they are negotiating. Whenever they confer for agreement, they are negotiating.
Negotiations are necessary in countless circumstances and in all area of life. Think of a typical, seemingly straightforward occurrence: a salesman tries to close a deal. That sounds simple enough, right? Better yet, basically the proposition he has made is acceptable to the prospective customer. However, there are still a number of questions that need to be answered. How much discount will the salesman give? Can the delivery date be improved in anyway? Who will store the bulk of the order – the buyer or the seller? Will the salesman agree to give the buyer additional prices consideration and protection on reorders for two additional years? Both buyer and seller have to carefully negotiate these and many other matters. The task is quite complex.
