Negotiation Principles of St.Gallen | English

Problem Solving – Decision Making
Using methodology for closing: How executives and their staff can create a more successful internal and external negotiation process that enhances conscious planning, argumentation and dialogue.
Executives face negotiation on a constant basis. Still, some try to gain an advantage over their counterparts by haggling or using other deceptive tactics. Successful negotiators and facilitators, however, do not seek a quick or one-time gain. Rather, they persuade their opponent and strengthen the foundation for a lasting collaboration. The Negotiation Principles of St. Gallen were developed from insights gained through numerous negotiation and mediation talks within the economic and political arenas as well as in the fields of sales and purchasing. Today, it is one of the most successful methods of cooperative negotiation.
