October 2023 | 472 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Negotiation is much more than making a deal; it's a life skill.

Negotiation: Creating Agreements in Business and Life explores the theory and practice of negotiation while unpacking how to develop the head, heart, hand, and stomach of a successful negotiator. Authors Brad Winn and Marc Sokol frame negotiation as a dynamic, creative process that can produce lasting positive results for all parties involved.

Practical applications, role-play exercises, and cases provide students with ample opportunities to sharpen their negotiation skills to become confident, capable negotiators in the workplace and in everyday life.

This book is an excellent introductory text to the area of negotiations. Reading this book would benefit any undergraduate student.

William S. Brown
Marist College

The authors have a conversational style which I think is not only very accessible for undergraduate students, but which is also something that would appeal very much to them. I can tell by reading this textbook that the authors genuinely care about students and their learning outcomes.  Believe me, this isn’t always the case when I read a textbook!
