Negotiating for Success: Essential Strategies and Skills

Van Rye Publishing, LLC

We all negotiate on a daily basis. We negotiate with our spouses, children, parents, and friends. We negotiate when we rent an apartment, buy a car, purchase a house, and apply for a job. Your ability to negotiate might even be the most important factor in your career advancement. Negotiation is also the key to business success. No organization can survive without contracts that produce profits. At a strategic level, businesses are concerned with value creation and achieving competitive advantage. But the success of high-level business strategies depends on contracts made with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. Contracting capability—the ability to negotiate and perform successful contracts—is the most important function in any organization. This book is designed to help you achieve success in your personal negotiations and in your business transactions. The book is unique in two ways. First, the book not only covers negotiation concepts, but also provides practical actions you can take in future negotiations. This includes a Negotiation Planning Checklist and a completed example of the checklist for your use in future negotiations. The book also includes (1) a tool you can use to assess your negotiation style; (2) examples of “decision trees,” which are useful in calculating your alternatives if your negotiation is unsuccessful; (3) a three-part strategy for increasing your power during negotiations; (4) a practical plan for analyzing your negotiations based on your reservation price, stretch goal, most-likely target, and zone of potential agreement; (5) clear guidelines on ethical standards that apply to negotiations; (6) factors to consider when deciding whether you should negotiate through an agent; (7) psychological tools you can use in negotiations—and traps to avoid when the other side uses them; (8) key elements of contract law that arise during negotiations; and (9) a checklist of factors to use when you evaluate your performance as a negotiator. Second, the book is unique in its holistic approach to the negotiation process. Other books often focus narrowly either on negotiation or on contract law. Furthermore, the books on negotiation tend to focus on what happens at the bargaining table without addressing the performance of an agreement. These books make the mistaken assumption that success is determined by evaluating the negotiation rather than evaluating performance of the agreement. Similarly, the books on contract law tend to focus on the legal requirements for a contract to be valid, thus giving short shrift to the negotiation process that precedes the contract and to the performance that follows. In the real world, the contracting process is not divided into independent phases. What happens during a negotiation has a profound impact on the contract and on the performance that follows. The contract’s legal content should reflect the realities of what happened at the bargaining table and the performance that is to follow. This book, in contrast to others, covers the entire negotiation process in chronological order beginning with your decision to negotiate and continuing through the evaluation of your performance as a negotiator. A business executive in one of the negotiation seminars the author teaches as a University of Michigan professor summarized negotiation as follows: “Life is negotiation!” No one ever stated it better. As a mother with young children and as a company leader, the executive realized that negotiations are pervasive in our personal and business lives. With its emphasis on practical action, and with its chronological, holistic approach, this book provides a roadmap you can use when navigating through your life as a negotiator.

Negotiating for Success: Essential Strategies and Skills (Russian Edition)

Todos nós negociamos diariamente. Nós negociamos com nossos cônjuges, filhos, pais e amigos. Negociamos quando alugamos um apartamento, compramos um carro, uma casa e até mesmo quando nos candidatamos a um novo emprego. Sua capacidade de negociar pode até ser o fator mais importante na progressão da sua carreira. A negociação também é a chave para o sucesso do negócio. Nenhuma organização pode sobreviver sem contratos que geram lucros. A um nível estratégico, as empresas estão preocupadas com a criação de valor e em alcançar uma vantagem competitiva. Mas o sucesso das estratégias de negócios de alto nível depende de contratos fechados com fornecedores, clientes e outras partes interessadas. A capacidade de contratação—a capacidade de negociar e executar contratos bem sucedidos—é a função mais importante em qualquer organização. Este livro foi desenvolvido para ajudá-lo a alcançar o sucesso em suas negociações pessoais e transações de negócios. O livro é único em duas maneiras. Primeiro, o livro não só abrange os conceitos de negociação, como também oferece ações práticas que você pode aplicar em futuras negociações. Isso inclui uma Lista de Verificação de Planejamento de Negociação e um exemplo completo da lista de verificação para o seu uso em futuras negociações. O livro também inclui (1) uma ferramenta que você pode usar para avaliar o seu estilo de negociação; (2) exemplos de “árvores de decisão”, que são úteis para calcular suas alternativas se sua negociação não for bem sucedida; (3) uma estratégia de três partes para aumentar o seu poder durante as negociações; (4) um plano prático para analisar suas negociações com base no seu preço de reserva, meta de expansão, alvo mais provável e zona do potencial acordo; (5) orientações claras sobre os padrões éticos que se aplicam às negociações; (6) os fatores que devem ser considerados ao decidir se você deve negociar através de um agente; (7) ferramentas psicológicas que podem ser usadas durante as negociações—e armadilhas que devem ser evitadas quando você estiver do outro lado; (8) elementos fundamentais do direito de contratos que surgem durante as negociações; e (9) uma lista de fatores para usar quando você avaliar seu desempenho como negociador. Segundo, o livro é único em sua abordagem holística para com o processo de negociação. Muitas vezes, outros livros se concentram apenas na negociação ou no direito dos contratos. Além disso, os livros de negociação tendem a focar no que acontece na mesa de negociação sem abordar o desempenho de um acordo. Estes livros fazem uma suposição equivocada de que o sucesso é determinado pela avaliação da negociação, em vez de avaliar o desempenho do acordo. Da mesma forma, os livros sobre direito de contratos tendem a focar nos requisitos jurídicos para um contrato ser válido, dando pouca atenção ao processo de negociação que precede o contrato e ao desempenho que se segue. No mundo real, o processo de contratação não é dividido em fases independentes. O que acontece durante uma negociação tem um impacto grande no contrato e desempenho que se segue. O conteúdo jurídico do contrato deve refletir a realidade do que aconteceu na mesa de negociação e o desempenho que vem a seguir. Este livro, diferente de outros, cobre todo o processo de negociação em ordem cronológica, começando com a sua decisão de negociar e continuando através da avaliação do seu desempenho como negociador.

A Short Guide to Contract Risk (Short Guides to Business Risk)

Savvy managers no longer look at contracting processes and documents reactively but use them proactively to reach their business goals and minimize their risks. To succeed, these managers need a framework and A Short Guide to Contract Risk provides this. The foundation of identifying and managing contract risk is what the authors call Contract Literacy: a set of skills relevant for all who deal with contracts in their everyday business environment, ranging from general managers and CEOs to sales, procurement and project professionals and risk managers. Contracts play a major role in business success. Contracts govern companies' deals and relationships with their suppliers and customers. They impact future rights, cash flows, costs, earnings, and risks. A company's contract portfolio may be subject to greater losses than anyone realizes. Still the greatest risk in business is not taking any risks. Equipped with the concepts described in this book, business and risk managers can start to see contracts differently and to use them to find and achieve the right balance for business success and problem prevention. What makes this short guide from the authors of the acclaimed Proactive Law for Managers especially valuable, if not unique, is its down-to-earth managerial/legal approach. Using lean contracting, visualization and the tools introduced in this book, managers and lawyers can achieve legally sound contracts that function as managerial tools for well thought-out, realistic risk allocation in business deals and relationships.
