Excellent breakdown and case examples of subject that often typically has more \sales-only" aspects examined. Text provides far more reaching topics and related subject matter that will, in turn, provide more benefits for professors and students alike.

A good comprehensive study aid to help make vital decisions in a professional manner. I have recommended this to my students to encourage professionalism within the engineering community. Negotiation and closing deals in business is important for a company to survive. Whether my students work for a company or end up with their own business, this is part of the hidden curicculum that they need to know.

This book is a little complex for my needs. It is very wide ranging in scope with significant detail. It provides frequent examples and materials for further study. Specific learning points are provided clearly and effectively - overall however, it provides much detail than my students would need for this programme where an introductory or practical guide would be more suited. Some interesting questionnaires are included.

Target audience analysis of my current and prospective students yielded the conclusion that the negotiation aspects included in this text did not fit the scope of the projected course. The text would be more than satisfactory for a business strategy or management strategy class but not for the scope of MNGT 5670.
