Introduction

Alliances in business are a natural route for development, but not all contracting relationships can be categorized as alliances. For a long-term and successful business alliance, a foundation of trust, openness, and practiced negotiation skills by the involved parties is essential.
Negotiation stands at the core of every endeavor to achieve objectives, be it structuring an agreement, bargaining for goods or services, or finalizing a deal. The ultimate  aim of negotiation should be to culminate in a win/win scenario, which is a hallmark of enduring alliances
