INTRODUCTION

Negotiation is an interactive activity that requires a variety of skills. It is not limited to the process of making concessions, offers, and counter offers. It requires self-awareness, good questioning, listening, and conflict resolution skills, as well as an ability to understand the needs and interests of others. We have therefore included exercises that cover all of these issues.
