The document discusses negotiation processes and strategies. It defines negotiation as a process where two or more parties exchange goods or services and attempt to agree on courses of action where there are differences in interests, goals, or beliefs. It describes distributive bargaining as seeking to divide up a fixed amount of resources in a win-lose manner, while integrative bargaining seeks to create win-win solutions. Key differences between the strategies are how they view available resources and primary motivations/interests of the parties. The negotiation process is outlined in five stages: preparation, definition of rules, clarification/justification, bargaining/problem solving, and closure/implementation.
