Why you should read 3-D Negotiation
If you have read a few books on negotiation, you will find much in this book familiar. If you’re serious about the subject, however, reading it will amply reward your curiosity. Many of its negotiating techniques and approaches are familiar because the authors, David A. Lax and James K. Sebenius, reviewed and tested the existing literature on the subject. They put the best current suggestions into a larger conceptual frame that can help negotiators make better deals. This book is approachable for beginners and useful for experienced negotiators, so getAbstract recommends it to both types of readers, even if it isn’t perfect. In some parts of the book, the authors highlight negotiating issues that parties must face without giving practical guidance on how to handle them. On the whole, though, this is a useful, methodical and realistic treatment of negotiation.
