Ever wondered what you might learn about negotiation by studying the Bible? As it turns out, according to Dr. Habib Chamoun, quite a lot. The Hebrew Scriptures actually offer negotiating texts - all derived from the Phoenician business model. And, using a system he calls "Tradeables™," Dr. Chamoun shows how this ancient wisdom applies in a wide range of contemporary business settings. There's even an appendix analyzing the benefits of on-line negotiation instruction and other teaching technologies. If you are looking for historical insights that will help you improve your business negotiations, this is the book for you.
