Negotiation makes the world go round. We as a species have been haggling,bartering and bargaining since the dawn of civilisation. Whether it was food, trade goods like wood, or something as simple as agreeing to stop bashing each other over the head for five minutes we became masters of negotiation and strode forwards as a race. Where would we be if we had selfishly hoarded all that we found? I presume not far out of the stone age (which wouldn't fair well for this blog now would it?)
The masters of negotiation.
As I was assigned the task of learning the in's and out of negotiation, I have been paying attention to the dealings at my workplace and that of one of the tutors of my course as he bravely took on all-comers to secure what he needed for his latest production, I penned what I hope to be a somewhat decent description of negotiation. (This isn't out of a dictionary it's out of my brain!)
Please see Below.
Negotiation:The art of two or more people discussing terms of mutual benefit using relevant materials be them physical or linguistically reached verbal agreements to reach an understanding or "Deal".
*Phew*
As proof to how far back negotiation goes we have uncovered evidence of it being used all the way back in biblical times, See the video below.
