Diversity Concepts – Diversity Politics

POLITICA – Schriftenreihe zur politischen Wissenschaft

The outgoing 20^th century has seen increasing awareness about issues of Diversity and a reflection of its abuse for political interests. This became possible after humankind had faced the experience of losing humanity. On the other hand the establishment of new forms of exclusion was fostered.

Latent Negotiations in Business-to-Business Relationships

Schriftenreihe zum Verhandlungsmanagement

The growing volatility of B2B markets, increasing regulatory complexity, and shifting power dynamics have made negotiations more complex and conflict-ridden than ever. While formal negotiation processes have been steadily professionalized, much of negotiation success is shaped long before the parties meet at the table.
