The Basic Principles of Negotiations

The negotiation process, which is the process of exchanging information, ideas and commitments between two or more people so as to reach an agreement on an issue over which they have different opinions, has four basic principles.

There are four principles of negotiation. They are the principle of concession, the principle of reciprocity, the principle of consistency, and the principle of liking.

  1. The first principle is called the Principle of Concession. This is when one side in a negotiation concedes to or gives up something in order to reach an agreement with their counterpart. 

  2. The second principle is called the Principle of Reciprocity. This is when one side in negotiation offers something in return for what they want in order to gain agreement from their counterpart. 

  3. The third principle is called the Principle of Consistency. This is when one side in a negotiation will not want to contradict themselves or their past behaviour because it would go against their beliefs or values and therefore refuse any change that would go against this belief or value. 

  4. The fourth principle is called the Principle of Liking. The principle of liking said that people are more likely to say yes if they are given an opportunity to say no. This principle is fundamental in negotiations because the person who gives the other person an option will be seen as a better option.
