Buchbeschreibung
Almost everyone has faced the frustrating task of negotiating with a local, state, national, or foreign government at some point in their lives. Whether they are applying for a building permit from their local zoning board, trying to sell software to the U.S. Defense Department, looking for approval for a merger, or planning to set up a business in Limerick or Bangalore, businesspeople confront a unique set of challenges when dealing with any form of government.
Distinguished author, professor, and negotiation expert Jeswald W. Salacuse explains the ways in which negotiating with government is very different from private negotiation.

Filled with real-life examples, this book will show businesspeople everywhere how to navigate this complex world and win.
