Preface
Welcome to the ninth edition of Negotiation!
Those familiar with the eighth edition will note that there has been no substantial change in the
fundamental organization of this book. We continue to emphasize negotiator ethics as a core concept
that any student of negotiation should read and understand.
The authors have carefully organized Negotiation to coordinate with the seventh edition of Negotiation:
Readings, Exercises and Cases. This Readings book is no longer published in paper form, but its
complete contents are available online to be adopted separately or paired with versions of the
Negotiation text in custom book form. A condensed version of this text, Essentials of Negotiation, eighth
edition, will be available in 2024.
