Summary: "Negotiation is the most important skill anyone in the business world can have today, because people must continually negotiate their jobs, responsibilities, and opportunities. Yet, very few people know strategies for maximizing their outcomes in everyday and in more formal business situations. People often needlessly throw away hundreds of thousands of dollars and sour interpersonal relationships because they do not know how to effectively negotiate. Negotiation training and research allows opportunity for managers to assess their negotiation abilities and learn practical techniques and strategies for improving their ability to negotiate effectively. Negotiation is an emerging topic in social psychology and academics in Business and Management are increasingly looking to social-psychological theory and research to help understand some of the fundamental processes occurring during negotiation. This book will serve as a comprehensive overview of the topic with original contributions from leaders in social psychology and negotiation research. All topics covered in this volume are core to the understanding of the negotiation process and include: decision-making and judgment, emotion and negotiation, motivation and game theory. These chapters will strengthen basic knowledge of the principles and theories of negotiation, as well as illustrate effective implementation of negotiation strategy and dispute resolution."--Publisher's description.
