What is the relationship between negotiation and curiosity?

Thanks

I think Curios person always looking for know something and discover other things, Negotiator usually looking to know his- her opposer personality and discover his- her weak points, so S-he is curious about something.

It is just an opinion

Thanks for invitation,

Duly support the great answer of Mr. Omar Saad.

Curiosity is a strong desire to know or learn about something to discover things. Negotiation is a dialogue/discussion between two or more people or parties intended to reach a beneficial outcome over one or more issues where a conflict exists.

Thanks

Negotiation is a continuous Process starting with Preparation which is the data collecting stage, also, negotiation is a tool of data collecting 

through negotiation there is a type of data update to be flexible with any new data or circumstances 

to Know about the other party and its culture , environment, context and to search about alternatives and make a continuous update is a type of curiosity 

There is a good connection.  While you are in the negotiation process you would want to know more about the person you are negotiating to be able to gain what you want and understand if the person you are sitting with and debating has rights to approve what you are asking for.

The other side is to understand the reliability of the company you are negotiating with and to know if the future would be good or not.

Directly proportional to each other.

If i were to link these actions i would take the following view in relation to business issues:

Initial curiosity - what and why is the matter an issue, curious to know what  is driving opponents interests, and potentially discovery of unknown facts and

Secondly- using this knowledge gathered in discovery to help the preparation for any subsequent negotiations

An excellent example and how it worked out.....Mars!  An entirely different planet!! Mars!  Which of course made me think: this is a great lesson on negotiation!  Now, to be fair, most things make me think about negotiation. And I am willing to use just about anything to help people better understand how they can stand up for themselves and get what they need.  But the Mars Science Laboratory Mission and Curiosity’s amazing landing genuinely reminded me of one of the biggest struggles I see people having with negotiations: accepting that there is risk and doing it anyway.

On mediation, multi-party negotiation, trade negotiations and curiosity ... judges as mediators, asking “What Difference Does a Robe Make?

Everything you ever negotiate will be risky. Sometimes that risk will feel entirely manageable, and other times it will feel overwhelming. But not negotiating because there is risk, even significant risk, isn’t a valid option.

Risk is not a good reason to keep your mouth shut and just accept what’s given to you.

But negotiating in the face of risk isn’t a haphazard exercise of closing your eyes and jumping in with both feet, either.  You hypothesize and experiment and research and prepare.

You think long and hard about your interests, and theirs. You identify different options that could work in the context of the negotiation and develop a back-up plan if the negotiation doesn’t work out. You float possible solutions and take detailed notes about how the other side reacts.

Then based on your best educated guess, you go.  You don’t wait for perfection or the impossible guarantee that it will work perfectly. 

Interesting question.. Intelligence and Curiosity... I would say that intelligence can lead to more curiosity, which can lead to more knowledge. I think both curiosity and intelligence are qualities, though. We're intelligent by accident, really, our brains just happened to be that way (or not).

Curiosity is a wondering about that which you don't know - knowing you don't have a certain type of knowledge and being interested in having it. That I think really delves in the realms of psychology - the balance of being seen as not knowing vs wanting to know.

Behaviours of self-esteem where you reject your own wishes for "logical" reasons vs believing you have every right to be curious about anything.I don't think you can accumulate knowledge or wisdom without getting into areas you don't already know about - that seems obvious - and some degree of curiosity seems like it has to be involved for you to be motivated. I mean, if you want to explore chemistry you must be interested/curious/wanting more than you have, right?But again, I feel intelligence is just a "thing", like having brown eyes. Curiosity is more an... activity.
