[edit] Random Thought
As an entrepreneur and an economic subject, I believe that exchanges are not a zero-sum game. A successful exchange should produce added value for each party larger than the compensation being exchanged. Thus, negotiation is harmful in situations when the difference being negotiated is already dwarfed by the added value the party expects to extract.
