25 PLUS ROLE PLAYS TO TEACH NEGOTIATION (Vol. 2)
by Ira and Sandy Asherman (eds.)

If you're a management trainer or development specialist looking for role plays, this book is a must.

25 Role Plays to Teach Negotiation (Vol. 2) includes 25 new role plays and is organized into two broad sections: Internal Negotiations, covering negotiations with co-workers and External Negotiations, which focuses on negotiations with vendors and contractors.

Included on CD disk are the original 25 role plays from our first volume, the popular 25 Role Plays to Teach Negotiation (Vol. 1)

Each role play is premised on three critical concepts:

• Successful negotiation is not an adversarial process, but a collaborative framework for creative problem solving.
• The needs and interests of both negotiating parties must be addressed if there is to be a long-term solution.
• Negotiation is an ongoing process, and today's negotiation will affect the long-term relationship between the parties.

The role plays are drawn from a variety of real life corporate settings including the chemical, pharmaceutical, retail, and publishing industries to prepare you for on-the-job situations.

From a review of 25 Role Plays (Vol. 1)

"Roles are described with enough information and detail for even the most 'stage shy' participant to get into the act. By the end ... the player is guaranteed to feel strongly about his or her position and ready to argue for what is 'right'."

25 Plus Role Plays to Teach Negotiation (Vol. 2) is $99.95, plus tax and shipping.
