Book Description
Life is a series of negotiations—from who will make the morning coffee to the landing of a multi-million-dollar contract. Each successful negotiation is a victory, but how is success measured? And after a negotiation is completed, what are the implications for the future? In The Savvy Negotiator, William Morrison addresses these questions in the context of two simple, but profound, ideas: (1) We negotiate to set the ground rules for a future relationship; (2) We negotiate to satisfy our needs. In other words, a negotiation is not simply a transaction, but an opportunity to develop a dynamic relationship; whatever the outcome, there will be future effects. If a negotiation is not designed to provide some benefit to the negotiator, there is no reason to engage. Morrison develops these themes against the backdrop of a general evolution in negotiation theory and practice—from an antagonistic WIN/LOSE approach to the more collaborative WIN/WIN approach. Through dozens of engaging examples, from business and other areas (such as home and car buying), he demonstrates the eight key concepts that underlie any negotiation, and offers many practical strategies for conducting successful and satisfying negotiations in virtually any situation. Along the way, he highlights such timely issues as the role of ethics in negotiation and the impact of the Internet on communication dynamics.

Book Description
The authors had each spent years working on career development and mentoring in their specific fields and then, over a decade ago, joined forces to offer negotiation training for those in the health sciences. David Kupfer, as chair of the world-renowned University of Pittsburgh Department of Psychiatry, had worked with younger scientists for years. The questions these scientists asked were often about their scientific hypotheses, how best to frame their research questions, how to understand the outcomes of their studies, and how best to present those outcomes, both in person and in writing. However, just as often their questions involved career concerns. What should a young female resident do about timing her next pregnancy when she feels the biological clock ticking but wants to take on a particularly demanding set of rotations because they seem essential to her career goals? How should a young faculty member who has just received his first research grant begin to gracefully establish his independence from the chief of his laboratory, who still sees him as someone to boss around? When Andrea Kupfer Schneider, a Harvard-trained negotiation professor for over 20 years, started helping her father with these conversations, they both noticed a startling gap: unlike their business and law school peers, academics generally receive no training in negotiation skills. This made no sense to Kupfer and Schneider: studies show that young scientists often fall off their career paths because they weren't satisfied- but that the lack of satisfaction generally is less about science than it is about interpersonal challenges and workplace communication. The negotiation trainings they devised resulted in participants feeling more confident in asking for what they need to be successful. Even when they don't get what they need, they say, now they can step back, analyze what happened, diagnose the situation, and strategize about how to improve for the next negotiation. In short, knowing more about negotiation has given them confidence that their skills can improve over time. As they completed their studies and negotiated in their workplaces, graduates of these early trainings asked for more advanced training, and the authors have been busy with tutorials, trainings, and lectures in medical schools and other university venues. Over what is now more than a decade of helping academics and scientists learn about negotiation, the authors have received many requests for a book that presents a framework for mastering negotiation skills and provides a pathway to improving such skills over time through practice and experience. The authors initially thought of writing a book for early career academics in medicine, but after much discussion-with colleagues, with former students, and others-they shifted to creating something more broadly applicable to different contexts and different life stages. They recognize that no one book can be all things to all people, but aim to address a wide audience of professionals at varying stages in their careers. They hope that in reading this book you will learn about negotiation styles and effectiveness, increase your self-understanding through the assessment tools in the appendices, think about how you would handle the challenges posed in the scenarios, and, most important, start to practice your negotiation skills. Becoming an effective negotiator is a journey, and they look forward to hearing about yours.

Book Description
"A must-read for lawyers, business people, and other professionals wanting helpful negotiation advice." -Robert Mnookin, author of Bargaining with the Devil: When to Negotiate, When to Fight "As social creatures, we are always trying to influence each other. Russell Korobkin’s book lays out five techniques that anyone can use to ensure you get what you want and leave enough on the table so others win, too. The book moves quickly, is full of examples, and provides step-by-step actionable instructions to help you negotiate anything. Everyone needs this book." -Paul J. Zak, author of Trust Factor: The Science of Creating High-Performance Companies From leading negotiation expert Russell Korobkin comes this revelatory guide that distills the keys to bargaining into five simple-yet-sophisticated tools that anyone can master. The Five Tool Negotiator stands apart in a category saturated with breezy, self-help volumes as a compulsively readable and highly researched must-have for anyone looking to improve their bargaining skills. Nationally renowned UCLA law professor Russell Korobkin distills insights drawn from his decades of studying and teaching the keys to successful negotiations into five simple-yet-sophisticated strategies: Bargaining Zone Analysis * Persuasion * Deal Design * Power * and Fairness Norms. Incorporating lively anecdotes and fascinating social science experiments, Korobkin brings to life concepts from the disparate fields of psychology, economics, and game theory. Designed for use at both the flea market and in the C-suite, this game-changing, universal approach provides a formula that a savvy reader can implement immediately: · Tool #1, Bargaining Zone Analysis, enables you to identify the range of agreements that will benefit both parties. · Tool #2, Persuasion, convinces your counterpart that reaching an agreement will benefit them more than they otherwise would have recognized, making them willing to give you more. · Tool #3, Deal Design, structures the agreement in ways that increase its value to both parties. · Tool #4, Power, forces your counterpart to agree to terms relatively more desirable to you. · Tool #5, Fairness Norms, enables you to seal a bargain that both parties can feel good about. From negotiating the price of a used car to closing a multimillion-dollar merger, Korobkin meticulously explains how to answer the following questions that arise in every negotiation: Should you make the first offer or let the other side go first? What makes some proposals seem more fair than others? How do you decide whether to accept an offer, reject it, or make a counteroffer? When should you propose an unusual agreement structure? What steps can you take to make a bluff believable? Readers will come away with a roadmap to becoming a truly complete negotiator, able to understand bargaining as both a strategic and social activity. Intuitively accessible and reassuringly persuasive, The Five Tool Negotiator promises to be a classic in the art of bargaining strategy.
