NEW ART OF NEGOTIATING How to Close Any Deal Gerard I. Nierenberg and Henry H. Calero
You negotiate every day of your life. Whether you are asking your employer for a raise or persuading your child to do his homework, everything is a negotiation. Written by Gerard Nierenberg, the world's foremost authority on the subject, THE NEW ART OF NEGOTIATING is an updated, expanded version of the million-copy bestseller that introduced us all to the art of effective negotiation.
When The Art of Negotiating first appeared, it taught us that negotiation doesn't have to be an adversarial process that ends in victory for one party and defeat for his hapless rival. Since then, the landscape of business has changed greatly. THE NEW ART OF NEGOTIATING provides Nierenberg's effective strategies redesigned for today's world.
You will learn how to analyse your opponent's motivation, negotiate toward mutually satisfying terms, learn from your opponent's body language and much more. Throughout, the author will guide you in successfully applying his famous win-win tactics to the bargaining process.
Once, Gerard Nierenberg changed the way we think about negotiating. Now, THE NEW ART OF NEGOTIATING allows us to experience win-win success in today's business climate.
Believe it or not, there is one simple secret to success -- a positive mental attitude. Studies have shown that maintaining an upbeat outlook on life leads to success and well-being. A New Attitude will show you how to get your attitude to work for you, rather than against you. The techniques provided teach you to believe in yourself, attack your problems head-on, look for the bright side in any situation, and rely on your sense of humor.

NEW RULES OF INTERNATIONAL NEGOTIATION Building Relationships, Earning Trust, and Creating Influence Around the World Catherine Lee
Because of the fast-changing global marketplace and growing demand for cultural solutions, successfully negotiating across borders has become a key for building business and increase revenues for most major companies. Most other countries embrace negotiating as part of their everyday activity - virtually everything is negotiable.
But many business professionals lack the skills to manage an interaction, identify the other party's needs and reach an agreement that is mutually beneficial. Trying to do all that in a foreign country just makes it more difficult! The aggressive, competitive, “shoot-from-the-hip” style of many corporations is simply not appropriate to many other cultures.
It includes detailed analyses for doing business in China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Russia, India, Europe, the Eastern Bloc countries and South America.
