Jacques Rojot – författare

NEGOTIATION: THEORY AND PRACTICE is a multi-disciplinary book that bridges theory and practice based on the authors'' strong belief in the saying that "there is nothing as practical as a good theory". The book takes special guidance from the fields of social psychology, decision theory, communication, economics, psychiatry, law and management. Although this book borrows concepts from each of these fields, its multi-disciplinary perspective provides a coordinated perspective that is seasoned by the lessons of practical experience.

Based on the authors'' decades of teaching law and business students and practitioners to improve their bargaining skills, NEGOTIATION: THEORY AND PRACTICE maintains a realistic perspective concerning the limits of the process as a method of conflict resolution and the limits to which studied analysis can provide tools for mastering the techniques of bargaining conduct.

In this work Professors Goldman and Rojot merge not only their separate earlier books and articles with the latest scholarship in the field, as a reflection of the differences in their own cultural backgrounds (American and French), they also give special attention to problems encountered in cross-cultural bargaining.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on France not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting.

Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts, suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity, employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining, industrial disputes, and much more.

Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in France, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.
