Negotiation
Moving From Conflict to Agreement

First Edition


January 2020 | 400 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Negotiation: Moving From Conflict to Agreement helps students see how negotiation is all around them. Using every day and business examples, authors Kevin W. Rockmann, Claus W. Langfred, and Matthew A. Cronin explain how to negotiate with an emphasis on when and why to use certain tactics and approach. Focusing on the psychology of negotiation levers such as reciprocity, uncertainty, power, and alternatives, the text helps students understand all the ways they can negotiate to create value. Packed with practical advice, integrated coverage of ethics, cases, and role-playing exercises, this compelling new text takes an applied approach to negotiation, allowing students to gain confidence and experience as they practice honing their own negotiation skills.

"By focusing on the experience of negotiating, the authors break down the artificial barrier between integrative and distributive negotiation. Focusing instead on what negotiators do, that is, understanding and convincing, students will gain deep insight into the processes of negotiation and how to put that knowledge to use."

Laurie R. Weingart
Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University

"In focusing on the psychological dynamics underlying tactical choices in negotiations, the authors re-orient the study of negotiation in a way which enables readers to have a more holistic view on the negotiation process and better achieve their desired outcomes."

Lindred L. Greer
Ross School of Business, University of Michigan

The book provides good examples on negotiation levers.
