3. NEGOTIATION
 The term NEGOTIATION may be defined as the transfer of a negotiable
instrument by one person to another so as to constitute the transferee the
holder of the instrument. This term is defined Section 14 of the Negotiable
instrument Act which read as,
“When A PROMISSORY NOTE, BILL OF EXCHANGE OR CHEQUE IS
TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON SO AS TO CONSTITUTE THAT
PERSON THE HOLDER THEREFORE, THE INSTRUMENT IS SAID TO
BE NEGOTIATED.”
 The analysis of this section reveals that the negotiation takes place when
the following two conditions are satisfied:
• The negotiable instrument is transferred from one person to another.
• The transfer is made in such a manner so as to make the transferee the
holder of the negotiable instrument.

5. TYPES OF NEGOTIATION
 There are two types of negotiation.
 Integrative negotiation
 Distributive negotiation

6. •
DISTRIBUTIVE NEGOTIATION
The term distributive means; there is a giving out; or the scattering of things.
Hence, this type of negotiation is often referred to as 'The Fixed Pie'.. A
distributive negotiation usually involves people who have never had a previous
interactive relationship, nor are they likely to do so again in the near future.
Simple everyday examples would be buying a car or a house.
•
INTEGRATIVE NEGOTIATION
•
Integrative negotiation, also known as principled negotiation, cooperative
bargaining or win-win negotiation is a type or style of negotiation in which the
parties cooperate to achieve a satisfactory result for both.
Integrative negotiation the parties adopt an attitude aimed at solving the
problem and seek a favorable outcome for both.
Hence the goal of integrative negotiation is to create as much value as
possible for oneself and for the other party, for example, through the stock
exchange where each party makes concessions, makes or gives up some that
values therefore little or no return for something he values greatly.
Integrative negotiation usually occurs in negotiations where there are several
things to negotiate, for example, in creating a society in which each partner
can bring different resources, but complementary to those of other partners.

7. PRINCIPLES OF NEGOTIATION
•
There are minimum two parties involved in the negotiation process. There exists
some common interest, either in the subject matter of the negotiation or in the
negotiating context that puts or keeps the parties in contact.
•
Though the parties have the same degree of interest, they initially start with
different opinions and objectives which hinder the outcome in general.
•
In the beginning, parties consider that negotiation is a better way of trying to
solve their differences.
•
Each party is under an impression that there is a possibility of persuading the
other party to modify their original position, as initially parties feel that they shall
maintain their opening position and persuade the other to change.
•
During the process, the ideal outcome proves unattainable but parties retain
their hope of an acceptable final agreement.
•
Each party has some influence or power – real or assumed – over the other’s
ability to act.
•
The process of negotiation is that of interaction between people – usually this is
direct and verbal interchange.

8. SKILLS REQUIRED FOR
NEGOTIATION
Negotiation is a skill that anyone can learn and practice. The
necessary skills required for successful negotiations can be listed
as:
• The ability to define a range of objectives
yet is flexible about some of them.
• The ability to explore the possibilities of
a wide range of options.
• The ability to be well prepared.
• The ability to listen to and question other parties.
• The ability to set priorities.

9. TEAM NEGOTIATION
Due to globalization and growing business trends,
negotiation in the form of teams is becoming widely
adopted. Teams can effectively collaborate to break down
a COMPLEx negotiation. There is more knowledge and
wisdom dispersed in a team than in a single mind. Writing,
listening, and talking, are specific roles team members
must satisfy. The capacity base of a team reduces the
amount of blunder, and increases familiarity in a
negotiation.

10. ROLE OF EMOTION IN NEGOTAITION
POSITIVE ROLE IN NEGOTIATION
Positive emotions include joy, exhilaration, or relief. Yet, these positive
emotions can derail your thinking. It is possible to be "too happy" in a negotiation .
EFFECT IN NEGOTIATION
• Negotiators who are in a positive mood tend to enjoy the interaction more, show
less contentious behavior, use less aggressive tactics and more cooperative
strategies.
• Its drawbacks is distorts perception of self performance, such that performance is
judged to be relatively better than it actually is.

11.  NEGATIVE ROLE IN NEGOTIATION
•
•
•
Negative emotions such as anger, jealousy, fear, remorse, and guilt.
Negative emotions can cloud your thinking.
Anger and other negative emotions can be barriers to an agreement
EFFECT IN NEGOTAIATION
• Negotiations, anger disrupts the process by reducing the level of trust, clouding
parties' judgment, narrowing parties' focus of attention and changing their central
goal from reaching agreement to retaliating against the other side
• Angry negotiators pay less attention to opponent’s interests and are less accurate
in judging their interests
• It can sometimes be beneficial: legitimately expressed anger can be an effective
way to show one's commitment, sincerity, and needs
