  Using the metaphor of "the game," master negotiator and New York Times bestselling author Herb Cohen says, "Negotiation is the game of life.” In New Perspectives on Negotiating, Cohen illustrates that conscious inattention ("caring, but not that much") produces heightened awareness, self-confidence, and a sense of greater mastery to convey options where none seem apparent. Cohen covers how to minimize barriers to creative problem solving, operate from a position of less leverage, deal with ultimatums, and use the magic words that transform competitors into potential partners. With his more than three decades of negotiating experience and unique presentation style, Herb's dynamic process will enable you to anticipate, predict, prepare, and successfully respond in all of life's negotiable relationships.

  The Socialist Good Life - Desire...

  “First-class, rigorously researched, richly documented, and thought-provoking” essays on the consumer experience in socialist Eastern Europe (Graham H. Roberts, author of Material Culture in Russia and the USSR). 
   
  As communist regimes denigrated Western countries for widespread unemployment and consumer excess, socialist Eastern European states simultaneously legitimized their power through their apparent ability to satisfy consumers’ needs. Moving beyond binaries of production and consumption, the essays collected here examine the lessons consumption studies can offer about ethnic and national identity and the role of economic expertise in shaping consumer behavior. 
   
  From Polish VCRs to Ukrainian fashion boutiques, tropical fruits in the GDR to cinemas in Belgrade, The Socialist Good Life explores what consumption means in a worker state where communist ideology emphasizes collective needs over individual pleasures.

  In the new digital world, the unknowns are never-ending. Our ability to embrace the demands of change has become a prerequisite for success. It's not easy. We don't work the way we did last year. Next year, it will all change again. If an organization doesn't embrace the realities of change, it will be under siege from those that do. Who Wins in a Digital World? explains how organizations can adapt to a constantly changing business environment by being flexible but focused, embracing change in all its messiness, and moving fast.In articles that originally appeared in MIT Sloan Management Review, experts from business and academia discuss digital adaptability, explaining how both organizations and individuals need the ability to excel in what their roles will become as technology and their competitive ecosystem evolve. They highlight strategies and mind-sets that can foster change, including boldness in the face of digitization, a focus on collaboration, and an artificial intelligence game plan.Once an organization accepts the fact that technological change is ongoing and inevitable, it becomes more about opportunity and less about challenge. This audiobook shows that change can be stimulating, exhilarating, and something to be welcomed.
