Useful But Takes Work
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book provides a framework for negotiation. It seems to be in line with the Harvard "Getting to Yes" model. The implementation requires some effot, but seems to reflect the latest thinking on the subject. I highly recommend this book for anybody who wishes to negotiate from a framework rather than winging it. Some of the material is obscure and somewhat mechanical in the interaction process it describes. But with effort, it can be incorporated into your business knowledge.
