In the social sciences, bargaining or haggling is a type of negotiation in which the buyer and seller of a good or service debate the price and exact nature of a transaction. If the bargaining produces agreement on terms, the transaction takes place. Bargaining is an alternative pricing strategy to fixed prices. Optimally, if it costs retailers nothing to engage in and allow bargaining, they can deduce buyers' willingness to spend. Bargaining allows for capturing more consumer surplus as it allows price discrimination, a process whereby a seller can charge a higher price to a more eager buyer (due to his or her having more disposable income or simply by being more eager). Haggling has largely disappeared in parts of the world where the cost to haggle exceeds the gain to retailers for most common retail items. However, for expensive goods such as automobiles sold to uninformed buyers, bargaining can remain commonplace. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_science&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw1pOXfpzM-5iWSuBCEE_0Wr https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negotiation&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw2K4mEmSZnM1IOrlvmdyMw9 https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyer&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw0f-UVucHYyi4eiCdHD1AGz https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seller&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw1TSshO_cqCp237jttQ41Nh https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goods_and_services&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw2954TVi8JMOK7EWQJSThPv https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goods_and_services&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw2954TVi8JMOK7EWQJSThPv https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw06Pelkxk0N5Db7YEuVFAsj https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_transaction&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw2IZU_15aBV0wSH-Auw-vVx https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pricing_strategy&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389818000&usg=AOvVaw1DBQ_hnzEgdRSQNQkupIlu https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pricing_strategy&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389819000&usg=AOvVaw0uiF9GijqZ_eSRKED3kO7c https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_price&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389819000&usg=AOvVaw2jipDp_TFB9fI8c5aP34J9 https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willingness_to_pay&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389819000&usg=AOvVaw3ic3XSe6tcRnZNQBOr8Deq https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_surplus&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389819000&usg=AOvVaw2kTXRyWFr3QrkWpDRXlHyZ https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_discrimination&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389819000&usg=AOvVaw1RUKTvX7PG0F1BN0LAuokY https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389819000&usg=AOvVaw3PYs9zjeSXtc5KP6ry2uEj In North America and Europe, bargaining is restricted to expensive or one-of-a-kind items (automobiles, antiques, jewelry, art, real estate, trade sales of businesses) and informal sales settings such as flea markets and garage sales. In other regions of the world, bargaining may be the norm, even for small commercial transactions. In Indonesia and elsewhere in Asia, locals haggle for goods and services everywhere from street markets to hotels. Even children learn to haggle from a young age. Participating in that tradition can make foreigners feel accepted. On the other hand, in Thailand, haggling seems to be softer than the other countries due to Thai culture, in which people tend to be humble and avoiding an argument. However, haggling for food items is strongly discouraged in Southeast Asia and is considered an insult, because food is seen as a common necessity that is not to be treated as a tradable good. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389901000&usg=AOvVaw0XYjLTbRdbkbCFxVSebmnw https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437389901000&usg=AOvVaw2J9-YyyfW1Y2dpVuFsLs5_ In almost all large complex business negotiations, a certain amount of bargaining takes place. One simplified 'western' way to decide when it's time to bargain is to break negotiation into two stages: creating value and claiming value. Claiming value is another phrase for bargaining. Many cultures take offense when they perceive the other side as having started bargaining too soon. This offense is usually as a result of their wanting to first create value for longer before they bargain together. The Chinese culture, by contrast, places a much higher value on taking time to build a business relationship before starting to create value or bargain. Not understanding when to start bargaining has ruined many an otherwise positive business negotiation. In areas where bargaining at the retail level is common, the option to bargain often depends on the presence of the store's owner. A chain store managed by clerks is more likely to use fixed pricing than an independent store managed by an owner or one of the owner's trusted employees. The store's ambiance may also be used to signal whether or not bargaining is appropriate. For instance, a comfortable and air-conditioned store with posted prices usually does not allow bargaining, but a stall in a bazaar or marketplace may. Supermarkets and other chain stores almost never allow bargaining. However, the importance of ambiance may depend on the cultural commitment to bargaining. In Israel, prices on day-to-day items (clothing, toiletries) may be negotiable even in a Western-style store manned by a clerk. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bazaar&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437390176000&usg=AOvVaw33jyyqzVGOG9kHtE2cGUXv https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketplace&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437390176000&usg=AOvVaw2_qAy74yi_UHsP6FJ0ZnLd https://www.google.com/url?q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermarket&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1630437390176000&usg=AOvVaw0sO4er3KkAd-d18VjfyaAA QUESTIONS 1) What is bargaining? 2) Why is bargaining no so common anymore? 3) How common is bargaining in North America? 4) Why can’t you bargain for food in Southeast Asia? 5) Why can bargaining among cultures be difficult? 6) How do you know if bargaining is appropriate?
