Successful Negotiations

This book provides a valuable overview of concrete negotiations in industry and business and shows ways to achieve successful negotiation breakthroughs. It brings together the aspects of negotiation preparation, negotiation execution, negotiation psychology, and negotiation success that have often been perceived separately until now. The authors provide helpful recommendations for effectively taking into account intercultural elements as well. This book is particularly interesting for employees in development, quality management, purchasing, production, marketing and sales who negotiate prices, performance characteristics of products and services and quality characteristics with customers or suppliers. In addition to the structured six-step approach, psychological and nonverbal tools are also explained in a practical and clear manner, leading negotiators to a successful negotiation conclusion.
This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Erfolgreiche Verhandlungen by Marc Helmold, Florian Hummel and Tracy Dathe published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, ein Teil von Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
