This masterly book substantially extends Howard Raiffa's earlier classic, The Art and Science of Negotiation. It does so by incorporating three additional supporting strands of inquiry: individual decision analysis, judgmental decision making, and game theory. Each strand is introduced and used in analyzing negotiations.

The book starts by considering how analytically minded parties can generate joint gains and distribute them equitably by negotiating with full, open, truthful exchanges. The book then examines models that disengage step by step from that ideal. It also shows how a neutral outsider (intervenor) can help all negotiators by providing joint, neutral analysis of their problem.

Although analytical in its approach--building from simple hypothetical examples--the book can be understood by those with only a high school background in mathematics. It therefore will have a broad relevance for both the theory and practice of negotiation analysis as it is applied to disputes that range from those between family members, business partners, and business competitors to those involving labor and management, environmentalists and developers, and nations.

Industry Reviews

Harvard professor emeritus Raiffa and his co-authors have everything covered in this exhaustive work, which examines the dynamics of win-lose, win-win and multi-party negotiations and throws novel approaches like game theory into the mix. Especially timely is the analysis of "external help," in which the authors evaluate the growing trend of mediation and arbitration...It's certainly thorough, with its plethora of decision-making scenarios...to bring advanced theories to life. And Raiffa is one of the deans of the field. Publishers Weekly 20030115 Negotiation Analysis makes a significant contribution to an important field...This is a classic text, synthesizing two approaches to negotiation: the 'art' handles human factors and the 'science' structured models. The book aims to equip negotiators with the skills 'to do a better job.' It is a massive work--550 pages--created by perhaps the most powerful intellect in the field. -- Douglas Hague Times Higher Education Supplement 20040430
