"At last, a negotiation book that provides an integrated, big-picture view of what to do and what to avoid at the bargaining table based on the latest research findings!

This unique book weaves together a wide range of disciplines in its study of negotiation and discusses distributive negotiation, win-win negotiation, developing a negotiating style, creativity and problem solving, and cross-cultural negotiation.
