Book SynopsisWhile negotiation has long been recognised as an activity that affects world peace it has also become a central aspect of professional life. The last two decades have witnessed the emergence of negotiation and conflict resolution as an important area of research and as an area of intense importance in professional areas such as law, government and business. This authoritative and comprehensive collection presents outstanding research on negotiation and conflict resolution that views negotiation as a multi-party decision making process. Negotiation and conflict resolution are conceptualised as a decision making activity, where the individual perceptions of each party and the interactive dynamics of multiple parties are critical elements. This collection provides an invaluable selection of the most important writing of perhaps the most dominant view of negotiation and conflict resolution, and creates an intellectual history in the process.Trade Review'Most aspects of life involve negotiation and most aspects of negotiation are covered by this excellent three-volume work.

Book SynopsisWhen it comes to persuasion, success can begin before you say a word.‘An instant classic.’ Forbes‘Utterly fascinating.’ Adam Grant, author of Originals and Give and Take‘Shockingly insightful.’ Chip Heath, co-author of Switch and Made to Stick NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn his global bestseller Influence, Professor Robert Cialdini transformed the way we think about the craft of persuasion. Now he offers revelatory new insights into the art of winning people over: it isn’t just what we say or how we say it that counts, but also what goes on in the moments before we speak.This is the world of ‘pre-suasion’, where subtle turns of phrase, seemingly insignificant visual cues, and apparently unimportant details of location can prime people to say ‘yes’ even before they are asked. And as Cialdini reveals, it’s a world you can master. If you understand the tools of pre-suasion, you will better placed to win a debate, get support for an idea or cause, promote a campaign – even persuade yourself to do something you find difficult.Drawing on the latest research, and packed with fascinating case studies, Pre-Suasion is a masterclass in enhancing your powers of influence.‘Mind-blowing.’ Management Today‘Accessible and intellectually rigorous.’ Books of the Year, The Times‘Fascinating, fluent and original.’ Tim Harford, author of The Undercover Economist Strikes BackTrade ReviewAn essential tool for anyone serious about science based business strategies.

I'll be recommending it for years and years. -- Amy Cuddy, author of PresenceAn utterly fascinating read on how the most important drivers of persuasion aren't the words we choose in the moment, but how we set the stage beforehand.

Thaler, co-author of Nudge and author of MisbehavingRobert Cialdini's Influence is, by a wide margin, the book that I recommend most often.

You can try to improve your core pitch as much as you like, but if you haven’t paid attention to background circumstances (such as the film people were watching at the time), you won’t get anywhere. -- Matthew Syed * The Times *Cialdini, author of the best-selling Influence, returns with a book that points out how setting the scene for your audience — “pre-suading” them — is as important as the message itself. -- Best Books of 2016 * Financial Times *Cialdini's classic work, Influence, added some real science to the art of sales and marketing.

Book SynopsisRejection? It's nothing to be afraid of …Maybe you avoid situations where you might be rejected. You don't apply for that dream job. You don't ask for that pay rise. You don’t ask that person on a date. But it doesn't have to be that way – the only thing standing between you and your goals … is you. Jia Jiang had allowed his fear of rejection to rule his life. But he decided to take radical action: he quit his job and spent 100 days deliberately seeking out scenarios where he would likely be rejected, from ordering donuts interlinked and iced like the Olympic rings to asking to pilot a light aircraft. And something remarkable happened; Jia not only learned how to cope with rejection but also discovered that even the most outrageous request may be granted – if you ask in the right way.In this infectiously positive book Jia shares what he learned in his 100 Days of Rejection, explaining how to turn a 'no' into a 'yes', and revealing how you too can become Rejection Proof and achieve your dreams.Trade Review[An] entertaining study of rejection in all its many manifestations. * Daily Mail *Jia's compelling and inspiring book is a wonderful example of how shifting our perspective can allow us to really see what makes us tick. -- Dan Ariely, author of Predictably IrrationalRejection Proof smashes fear in the face with a one-two punch.

They explore the shaping force of our genetic make-up on our fundamental views and the nature of the influences that family, friends and peers exert. They pinpoint the economic and political triggers that tip people from healthy disagreement to dangerous hostility, and the part played by social media in spreading entrenched opinions. And they help us to understand why outlooks that can seem so bizarre and extreme to us seem so eminently sensible to those who hold them.Above all, they show what practical and effective steps we can all take to narrow divisions, build respect for others, and create a greater degree of common understanding.____________________________________________________'Poles Apart is an extraordinary achievement: fresh, deeply authoritative, and entertaining on every page.

To me it's very simple: If you're going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.' – Donald J.

It's the most streetwise business book there is – and the ultimate read for anyone interested in making money and achieving success, and knowing the man behind the spotlight.Trade ReviewTrump makes one believe for a moment in the American dream again. * New York Times *A chatty, generous, chutzpa-filled autobiography. * New York Post *Donald Trump is a deal maker.

Industry actors and policy makers alike rely upon partnerships and alliances for developing and growing sustainable business organizations and ventures. As a result, global business leaders must be well-versed in managing and leading multidimensional human relationships and business networks – requiring skill and expertise in conducting the negotiation processes that these entail. After laying out a foundation justifying the importance of studying negotiation in a global context, this book will detail conventional and contemporary theories regarding international engagement, culture, cultural difference, and cross-cultural interaction, with particular focus on their influence on negotiation. Building on these elements, the book will provide a broad array of country-specific chapters, each describing and analyzing the negotiation culture of businesspeople in a different country around the world.

Book SynopsisWe all negotiate every day, yet few people ever learn how to negotiate. Those who do usually learn the old-school, adversarial approach that is only useful in a one-off negotiation where you will never see the other party again. However, such transactions are becoming increasingly rare because most of us deal with the same people repeatedly-our spouses and children, our friends and colleagues, our customers and bosses. We need to achieve successful results for ourselves while maintaining healthy relationships with our negotiating partners. In today's interconnected world, a win-win outcome is fast becoming the only acceptable result. This book will show you how to get that win-win. You will also learn how to: distinguish interests from positions and uncover hidden interests use negotiating alchemy to create value out of nothing appreciate the beauty of no on your way to yes force your counterpart to consider your needs frame issues to your advantage recognize when to make the first offer make and demand concessions know when to compromise and when to try for something better develop a powerful Plan B so you cannot lose manage emotions, biases, and other psychological pitfalls use common negotiating tactics and counter-tactics overcome an impasse negotiate successfully with powerful counterparts prepare for any negotiation using an eight-step template and much more!
