To negotiate: to confer with others in order to reach a compromise or agreement. That’s the dictionary definition. It’s something we do every day, like it or not. We can’t avoid it. It doesn’t have to involve contracts or business deals. It might just mean agreeing a deadline for the task you’re working on, sorting out office accommodation or equipment for a new member of staff, or talking to your boss about your vacation plans. Discussions of this kind may not be thought of as negotiations. But often, in order to arrive at a solution all the interested parties can accept, you need to settle for less than you would ideally like. You need to give and take – in other words, to negotiate. Negotiations don’t have to be formal exchanges with a set agenda conducted around a table. They can be formal or informal; internal (with colleagues in your own organization) or external; bilateral (involving just one other party) or multi-party. They come in all shapes and sizes. They can take a couple of minutes or a couple of months. Whether you have to negotiate contracts, you’re in sales and have to negotiate with customers or your organization has overseas interests and you’re involved in international negotiations, the principles and techniques of effective negotiation apply to all of these scenarios. Effective Negotiations in easy steps will show you how, in the familiar In Easy Steps style, with clear and easy steps and explanations, colour illustrations and hot tips.

Windows 8 was a revolutionary update of the popular operating system from Microsoft. With a brand new interface, new ways of getting around and accessing items and new possibilities for mobile devices, Windows 8 took the computing experience to the next level. However, there were still a few areas for improvement and these have been addressed with Window 8.1. Windows 8.1 in easy steps shows you how to get up to speed with this latest version of Windows and begins by detailing how to get to grips with the Windows 8.1 interface. It deals with the basics such as accessing items, personalizing your screen and using additional controls that are available from the sides of the screen. The books includes the new features that have been added since Windows 8: the return of the Start button; options for booting up to the Desktop; viewing up to four apps on screen at the same time; an enhanced SkyDrive feature for online storage and sharing; and a unified search facility that enables you to search over your computer and the Web. A lot of the functionality of Windows 8.1 is aimed at touchscreen devices, whether they are desktop computers, laptops or tablets. This is dealt with in terms of navigating around, as well as showing how everything can still be done with a traditional mouse and keyboard. Apps are at the heart of Windows 8.1 and the newly designed Windows Store has an app for almost everything you could want to do. The book shows how to access and download apps and then how to work with them, and organize them, when you have them. As well as the new features that are covered, all of the old favourites are looked at in detail, such as working with folders and files, accessing the Internet, using email, working with photos and video, networking with Windows and system security. Windows 8.1 will open your eyes to a new way of computing and Windows 8.1 in easy steps will help you see clearly so that you can quickly feel comfortable and confident with this exciting new operating system. Covers the 8.1 update released October 2013 and the Windows 8.1 Update 1 released April 2014.
