Book Description

Adams Media Business Books, June 1998
Business people negotiate every day-whether it's settling on a price, ironing out the terms of a contract, or just getting everyone to agree on a meeting time. Creative Negotiating gives you the negotiating techniques you need for every situation you'll face-from the simplest to the most difficult.

Author Stephen Kozicki breaks the negotiating process into four easy-to-follow steps- investigation, presentation, bargaining, and agreement-and shows you how to negotiate your way successfully through all four stages. His proven strategy is based on flexibility, careful planning, and four basic principles:

* There are no rules
* Everything is negotiable
* Always ask for a better deal
* Learn how to say no

With dozens of real-world examples, illustrations, and diagrams, Creative Negotiating shows that you don't have to be manipulative or play tough to be a master negotiator. Learning to negotiate can be easy and fun, and before long you'll have the other side in the palm of your hand!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, September 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Negotiating: Proven Techniques for Getting What You Want from Any Negotiation (Paperback)
The cover promises "proven techniques", yet I didn't find much in the way of techniques here. The "Columbus Technique" is inspired by Christopher's negotiations with Queen Isabella, yet these are not described, except that they were long. The book's organization is difficult to follow. Much of "agreement phase" chapter contained material that seems better placed in the "bargaining phase" chapter. The chapter on creativity contained topics like "why negotiate?" He goes on for several pages on CNN's great negotiating coup enabling them to cover the Gulf War, yet nothing about those negotiations are revealed. He refers to Ted Turner as Robert Turner. The good news: you won't waste much time on this book; between the many large cartoons and the frequent repetition, actual content can be read quickly.

By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Negotiating: Proven Techniques for Getting What You Want from Any Negotiation (Paperback)
Stephen Kozicki delivers an easy to follow lesson in improving one's negotiation skills. While at times, it may seem a bit oversimplified; the message is clear. The versatility of his proven techniques can be applied to virtually any industry or any business negotiation. His success as a negoitiator is apparent in reading this book. He passes the information to the reader in a manner, in which, one may immediately begin to utilize the techniques and see improvements.

3.0 out of 5 stars Content in book does not live up to title of book., June 20, 2007
This review is from: Creative Negotiating: Proven Techniques for Getting What You Want from Any Negotiation (Paperback)
Prepare, Prepare, Prepare is the theme of this book and one of the underlying disciplines of negotiations.

Author Stephen Kozicki's real-world examples and affiliations with major corporations and governments validates his proficiency in domestic and international trade and negotiations.

Mature effort by Stephen Kozicki on the subject, although in my judgment I don't think this piece manifest itself as one of his best yet. I will have to float this one to the next person. No need to make space for this one on the bookshelf.
