Learners are presented with different styles of language for negotiation and encouraged to choos that most appropriate to their situation. The book also present critical situations of cross-cultural nature to help learners deal with cultural differences which may affect the success of international negotiations. Each book/cassette "package" is designed for use in class, particularly on short, intensive, skills-based courses, or for self-study.
