Rather than simply being an exchange of preferences about solutions, negotiations covers a wide-ranging number of topics in an environment where each party trying to influence the other. This was followed by an exploration of three issues related to how people communicate in negotiation: the use of language, nonverbal communication, and the selection of a communication channel.
