FOREWORD
Negotiations are paramount in safeguarding good business. I have observed in my career how professionally prepared and executed negotiations can create a value of millions of Euros, and have also seen how a few imprudent sentences in negotiations can ruin a promising power position.
I am very thankful that in the course of my recent studies at McGill University of Montreal I had the opportunity to reflect on my rich experience in negotiations and that I could explore my key question: What are the factors which make a negotiation successful?
from a scientific perspective.
Thanks to Prof. Henry Mintzberg for his inspiring lectures and to my academic advisor, Prof. Pablo Restrepo Sáenz, for fruitful discussions. I also thank my various business partners and colleagues for sharing their best practice and insights into negotiations with me during the last 25 years.
I hope that this little work may give some helpful suggestions to interested negotiators around the world and will contribute to their success.
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 ISSUE
Negotiations play an important role in management (Mintzberg 2009). Few things are more important to running a successful company than being able to reach wise, stable, and advantageous agreements. (…) This holds true whether you are negotiating with customers, partners, suppliers, regulators, or investors.
(Movius and Susskind 2009, p. 1). By negotiating, millions of Euros of value are redistributed between parties. Since 1987 I have been working in the airline industry, characterized by tight margins and a partly monopolistic supplier landscape. In my career, e.g. as vice president procurement, a significant part of my activities was related to negotiations, either by my personal participation in negotiations or by managing and observing the negotiations of my teams or peers. I have gathered broad experience in international negotiations with customers, agents, suppliers, landlords, employees, works councils, unions, authorities and at court during the last 25 years. I have constantly spoken to experts and read literature about the topic in order to improve my personal knowledge and skills in negotiation and those of my organizations.
According to my observations, the processes and outcomes of negotiations look quite different. Often, my party reached its targets, but sometimes it did not. I often analyzed the case-related reasons behind the outcome and tried to learn for future negotiations. My key question before, during and after particular negotiations therefore is: What are the factors which make a negotiation successful?
