Negotiation is a method by which people settle differences. It is a process by which compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument and dispute. Negotiation skills are qualities that:

Allow two or more parties to reach a compromise
These are often soft skills and include abilities such as communication, persuasion, planning, strategizing & cooperating
Understanding these skills is the first step to becoming a stronger negotiator
In any disagreement, individuals understandably aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position (or perhaps an organization they represent)
However, the principles of fairness, seeking mutual benefit and maintaining a relationship are the keys to a successful outcome

Negotiation has to go through many steps. Though it seems a simple process but it includes following stages:

Preparation
Discussion
Clarification of goals
Negotiate towards a Win-Win outcome
Agreement
Implementation of a course of action

To resolve any problem one needs to follow the negotiation process. Negotiation is used in various situations .The following are a few of them.
