Hi!

I'm looking for a verb which would fit nicely into the following context:

Negotiation in companies/Company negotiation is often not predictable and relatively rare event by which we try to reach/close/complete? some special business deal or tightly related organizational interest.

Your interventions are more than welcome. Thank you

Do you mean the issue is not predictable, or that we can't predict when it will happen?

I want to say that negotiation is actually unpredictable and frequent event-or that it is not anymore predictable or rare.

Sorry, I don't get you...  Anyway, you need a "an" : negotiation is an unpredictable etc event"

Negotiation in companies/Company negotiation is an often venturous and relatively rare event by which we try to reach/close/complete? some special business deal or tightly related organizational interest.

That's about the extend of the help I can offer here, I'm a very unskilled businesswoman!

Company negotiations are rather/relatively rare/seldom, and often venturous; they aim at striking some special business deal, or at reaching a tightly related  organizational interest.

Yet, I don't quite understand what it means  Crying [:'(]

Big Smile [:D]

It is a kind of  a definition of negotiation: Negotiation is X and Y activity whose aim is to A and B.

p.s. I hate economic issues. I've translated ten sentences of this text so far, and if I had to say what the text is about I would only be able to say that it is about negotiation. 

Thank you very much Pieanne

Just another version:

Negotiation in a commercial context is an unpredictable and relatively rare event by which we attempt to clinch a particular business deal or advance the commercial interests of the organization in some way.
