Negociar, ruta hacia el éxito: Estrategias y habilidades esenciales

Rate this book
Todos negociamos de manera diaria. Negociamos con nuestras esposas, hijos, padres y amigos. Negociamos cuando alquilamos un departamento, compramos un coche o aplicamos a un puesto de trabajo. Tu habilidad para negociar debería ser el factor más importante en tu carrera.


La negociación además es clave para el éxito de los negocios. Ninguna organización puede sobrevivir sin contratos que generen ganancias. A un nivel estratégico, los negocios están estrechamente vinculados con la creación de valor y la consiguiente consecución de ventajas competitivas. Pero el éxito de las estrategias comerciales de alto vuelo dependerá de los contratos celebrados con proveedores, clientes y socios comerciales. La capacidad de contratación, esto es la habilidad de negociar y lograr contratos exitosos, es la función más importante de toda organización.


Este libro ha sido concebido para ayudarte a alcanzar resultados exitosos en tus negociaciones personales y en tus transacciones comerciales. Es único desde dos por un lado, no sólo cubre conceptos de negociación, sino que también proporciona acciones prácticas a seguir en futuras negociaciones, incluyendo una lista de chequeo para la planificación de la negociación y un ejemplo práctico de esa lista de chequeo completa.


También (1) una herramienta de evaluación de tu estilo personal; (2) ejemplos de “árboles de decisión”, útiles para calcular tus alternativas en caso de frustración de la negociación; (3) una estrategia de tres etapas para incrementar tu poder durante la negociació (4) un plan práctico para analizar tus negociaciones en consideración a distintas variables, entre ellas tu precio de reserva y zona de probable acuerdo, entre otros; (5) lineamientos claros en estándares éticos aplicables a la negociación; (6) factores a considerar al decidir si deberías negociar a través de un agente; (7) herramientas psicológicas que puedes utilizar, y modos para eludirlas si las plantea la otra parte; (8) elementos esenciales del Derecho Contractual; y (9) una lista de chequeo de factores a utilizar cuando evaluas tu desempeño como negociador.


En segundo término, el libro es único en cuando propone un enfoque global y general para todo el proceso de la negociación. Otras obras se focalizan sea en la negociación, o bien en el Derecho Contractual, concentrándose en este último caso, en cuestiones y requisitos específicos desde el punto de vista legal para que un contrato sea válido, sin considerar otros aspectos.


En el mundo en que vivimos, el proceso de contratación no puede ser desmenuzado en fases o compartimentos estancos. Lo que ocurre durante una negociación tiene un impacto profundo en el contrato y en el desempeño consiguiente. El contenido legal del contrato debería reflejar lo que sucedió en el marco de la negociación. Este libro, a diferencia de otros, cubre íntegramente el proceso de negociación en orden cronológico, comenzando con tu decisión de negociar, continuando con la evaluación de tu propio desempeño como negociador.


Una ejecutiva de negocios que concurrió a un seminario de negociación dictado por el autor de este libro ha “La vida es negociación!” Y es cierto, ya que como madre de hijos pequeños y, a la vez, líder de una empresa, la ejecutiva advirtió que las negociaciones se infiltran en nuestras vidas privadas y profesionales. Con este énfasis, y asimismo con el mencionado orden cronológico y su enfoque general, el libro proporciona una hoja de ruta que podrás utilizar al “navegar tu vida como negociador”.

I am taking a MOOC coursera class led by the author. Both the class and the book are very good for learning the foundational ideas of negotiating. He cuts to the chase and explains the principles of successful nevotiations and the biases that prevent them from happenning
in plain language.

همراه با مطالعه ی این کتاب کورس آنلاینش رو هم با تدریس جورج سیدل (نویسنده کتاب) گذروندم. لینک آموزش این کلاس رو اضافه می کنم تا اگه شما هم دوست داشته باشید ثبت نام کنید. فعلاً شرکت توی این دوره رایگان هست (اگه اشتباه نکنم تا آخر آگوست 2021) اما اگر تمایل داشتید می تونید گواهی پاس کردن دوره که امضای دانشگاه میشیگان (خیلی خفنه تو این حوزه) هم پاش خورده ، دریافت کنید. نگران مبلغش هم نباشید چون یه بخش کمک مالی داره و می تونید درخواست بدید (مثلاً بگید هر دلار حدوداً 200 هزار ریاله) و اونا هم تا سقف 90 درصد به شما تخفیف میدن که تقریباً 5 دلار واستون آب میخوره. اگر این رقم رو با هزینه ی دوره هایی که دانشگاه تهران و یه سری موسسه ی خصوصی برگزار می کنن مقایسه کنید (تو اشل میلیون می گیرن) می فهمید که چقدر مفت و مجانیه در حالیکه بعید میدونم کیفیت شون در حد تدریس جورج سیدل باشه
به نظرم این کورس صرفاً برای دانشجو های ام بی ای طراحی نشده و می تونه برای همه مفید باشه (مثل خود من که رشته ام یه چیز دیگه اس). به هرحال همه مون با مذاکرات و معاملات از خرید و فروش های کوچولو تا قرار دادهای بزرگ ممکنه درگیر بشیم و لازمه که یک سری از اصول اولیه رو بدونیم

This basic introduction into negotiation skills lays a profound foundation for anyone who is interested in negotiation. A professor and an experienced negotiator himself, George Siedel has delineated basic skills that can equip anyone to negotiate successfully. Not only businessman, but every person will find this book extremely helpful for everyday transactions and conversations.

Read this book as part of the online negotiations course. Interesting considerations on all the different aspects of negotiating successfully, really enjoy how many of the concepts are broken down into checklists.

Good book which supplemental to the online course. There are lot of gold nuggets which can be picked and implemented in real life out of this book.

Good book. Maybe more life examples can be added in future versions

I liked this book very much. It gives an ready reference to the desperately needed, softer management skill of negotiation.

This book offers great tips on how to make negotiations a win-win situation for both parties. The high-level ideas are applicable both in the business field and in daily life.

I ordered the book while I was midway through the Coursera course with the same title. The book is good, but the course is better as it covers everything in the book with, in my opinion, better explanations. Furthermore, you have the bonus of Siedel, American author and professor on the faculty at the Ross School of Business (University of Michigan), providing further relevant and insightful examples.

“Great negotiators are the ones who are not only asking important questions, but who also listen carefully to the answers.” – George Siedel

The book/course offers a complete guide from how, why, and when to negotiate, to how to close your negotiation with a binding contract. It also highlights the importance of psychology in negotiation and explains the different key strategies one can use, and when each one is most appropriate.

El principio de este libro es impresionante, el autor usa algunos ejemplos que pone en una de las clases de negociación más prestigiosas del mundo, donde te das cuenta la diferencia que hay entre la educación privada americana y todas las demás. Yo lo empece a leer por el curso que tiene en coursera. Esta bien si quieres una lectura rápida pero te recomiendo que si te interesa el tema, mejor hagas el curso gratuito.

El final se hace mas pesado ya que es algo mas técnico y se mete en algunas partes del derecho que para una persona no muy versada en el tema se hace cuesta arriba.

The book have really good concepts and have a direct approach to them which gives a easy-to-read sensation to the book. Being a business/management book it also have a great combination of theoretical and pratical knowledge.
Nevertheless and to whom it may concern I don't really believe that the book is really necessary to buy to conclude the coursera course (with the same name) because you will be reading basically what the author say in the videos.

Professor Siedel is personable and thorough. This book went with the University of Michigan negotiation course I took to supplement my work skills. I enjoyed the course, but the book was plain and easy to understand. Power-packed ideas with a lot of examples, yet not so full of jargon that it makes your brain hurt. The principles in the book can be used in personal life or business life.

Una excelente lectura para aprender distintos métodos de negociación, así como detalles que muchas veces quedan olvídados a lo largo del proceso, como el tema de clausulas específicas, contratos, las leyes de distintos países. Muchos puntos sumamente importantes a la hora de realizar negociaciones internacionales.

A great good to read if you are a beginner in negotiation. It introduces you to all the key terms, concepts in a very simple language that can be understood by all. Few more detailed case studies would have been better, but I guess the author skipped then to keep things simpler.

All in all, a great book to learn negotiations!

Not the Negotiation Book I Hoped For

Negotiating for Success is clear but feels more like a textbook than a practical guide. It covers the basics, but the content is dry and lacks real-world depth. Useful if you’re brand new to negotiation, but too basic if you’re looking for advanced strategies or fresh insights.

A very good guide to negotiation, exploring many themes as on how to think of a contract that is good for both sides and assessing your negotiation style. Also recommend Mr Siedel’s course in the Coursera platform

This book is recommended by the author while doing his course in Coursera. Topics covered in this book are pretty much covered in the course too. I personally choose to read this book to understand the topic more clearly.

Recommend it for starters.

I loved the book since I had no prior expertise in Negotiations other than basic negotiation skills any entry-level professional would have. But after reading this book I'm confident that I am way higher on the ladder when it comes to Negotiations in professional life.

Opinion.

Buen material, se que esta enfocado en negociaciones dentro de eeuu pero se pudo haber usado un poco mas de doctrina y dogmatica del derecho comparado cuando se hablo de las resoluciones alternas de conflicto.

Read as a study material while I took his course on Coursera. It was a comprehensive study material. I go back to it every now and then while I’m trying to apply ad practice negotiations every other day.

This is a great book to give you some insight into negotiation.
It helps you understand the basics and you may try to use it in your personal negotiation, like selling, buying, etc.

I liked some of the parts of the book but overall I didn’t really enjoy the read. I think there are a couple very valuable principles in the book but think it could have been written better.
