Game, Set, Match: Winning the Negotiations Game

Negotiation is a part of everyone's life, yet few people have been formally schooled in successful negotiating techniques. This guide teaches successful techniques for the entire negotiations process-from the initial planning stages, through opening negotiations, mid-game, end-game and follow-up-and gives advice and strategies for each step of the process. With information about data collection, achieving a win-win outcome, and discussions of legal and ethical issues, this book provides thorough preparation for negotiations in professional or personal settings.
