Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'negotiation' (the activity) with 'playbook' (a collection of tactics or procedures); together they straightforwardly mean a set of strategies for negotiations. This noun‑noun composition follows a regular English pattern and has clear parallels in other languages (e.g., 'manual de negociación'), so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand it.
Etymology
The phrase negotiation playbook comes from sports: a playbook is a coach's book of planned plays, and negotiation means the talks to make a deal. So a negotiation playbook is a set of plans and steps that show 'how to negotiate'.
