From the interview data obtained through an exploratory study based on a grounded theory approach, several factors that affect and determine agenda setting and issue management have emerged. It has been spotted that industry standards rather than negotiation strategy determine agenda setting and that issues about content are usually agreed on before negotiating price and bureaucratic conditions, being the degree of "productization" of Professional Service Firms a variable that needs to be taken into account. Moreover, a pattern has been found in sales negotiations of consulting companies dealing with client companies with an organized purchasing department, which has been labeled as "multi-party sequential negotiation model". Contents Agenda setting Issue management Multi-party sequential negotiation Productization of Professional Services Target Groups Researchers and students in the field of business management and negotiation Professional Service Firms' decision makers, Sales Managers, Purchasing Managers and professionals dealing with negotiations The Author Mireia Prat studied Business Management at Universitat Pompeu Fabra of Barcelona, and obtained her Master of Science degree in Management and Marketing at Freie Universität of Berlin. 000696853 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed January 6, 2014). 000696853 650_0 $$aEconomics. 000696853 650_0 $$aIndustrial management. 000696853 650_0 $$aMarketing. 000696853 650_0 $$aSales management$$zGermany. 000696853 650_0 $$aSales management$$zSpain. 000696853 650_0 $$aService industries$$zGermany$$xMarketing. 000696853 650_0 $$aService industries$$zSpain$$xMarketing. 000696853 650_0 $$aNegotiation in business$$zGermany. 000696853 650_0 $$aNegotiation in business$$zSpain. 000696853 830_0 $$aBestMasters. 000696853 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696853 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-04499-2$$zOnline Access 000696853 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696853$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696853 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696853 980__ $$aBIB 000696853 982__ $$aEbook 000696853 983__ $$aOnline 000696853 994__ $$a92$$bISE
