This document defines conflict and negotiation. It states that conflict is a process that begins when one party perceives a negative effect from another party. There are three types of conflict - task, relationship, and process - with low levels of task and process conflict being functional. Negotiation is defined as a way to resolve disputes through communication to jointly settle conflicts and achieve a win-win outcome. The document contrasts distributive bargaining which focuses on positions with integrative bargaining which expands opportunities through a focus on interests. It outlines a five stage negotiation process and some common barriers to negotiation like die-hard bargains and lack of trust.
