Bargaining for Advantage

Bargaining for Advantage

by G. Richard Shell

star4.5

Shell argues that effective negotiators start by knowing their own bargaining style, then use six foundations: style, goals, standards, relationships, interests, and leverage. He explicitly built the book as a negotiation complement to social-psychology research, telling readers that the goal is informed self-awareness rather than a single universal tactic.
