Summary of Harvard Business Essentials Guide to Negotiation

Negotiation-whether hammering out a great job offer, settling a dispute with a client, drafting a contract, or making trade-offs between business units-is both a necessary and challenging aspect of business life. In the business world, confident negotiators are always in high demand. Bringing a difficult negotiation to a successful conclusion can be one of the most exhilarating-and valuable-aspects of business today. Packed with practical advice and handy tools, Negotiation will help any manager sharpen skills and yield a sizable payoff. Contents include:



  • Preparing the necessary information before a negotiation
  • Managing multiparty negotiations
  • Assessing the position of the opposing side
  • Determining your sources of power and authority in a negotiation
  • Recognizing the barriers to agreement and how to overcome them
  • Plus, readers can access free interactive tools on the Harvard Business Essentials companion web site.

    Series Adviser: Michael Watkins

    Associate Professor Michael Watkins does research on negotiation and leadership. He is the coauthor of Right From the Start: Taking Charge in a New Leadership Role (HBS Press, 1999) and the author of Taking Charge in Your New Leadership Role: A Workbook (HBS Publishing, 2001), both of which examine how new leaders coming into senior management positions should spend their first six months on the job.
