Negotiation Genius: How to Overcome Obstacles and Achieve Brilliant Results at the Bargaining Table and Beyond

About

Negotiation Genius by Harvard Business School professors Deepak Malhotra and Max Bazerman provides a systematic approach to becoming a more effective negotiator. The book goes beyond basic negotiation principles to cover advanced topics such as negotiating from a position of weakness, dealing with lies and deception, managing multiple negotiations simultaneously, and creating value in complex multi-party deals. The authors draw on behavioral economics research and real-world case studies to illustrate how cognitive biases affect negotiation outcomes. For search fund entrepreneurs engaged in complex deal negotiations involving multiple parties, earnouts, seller financing, and investor terms, this book provides sophisticated frameworks for achieving optimal results.
