Preface xi

provided input on early teaching and research materials that later found promi-

nent places in the text: Max Bazerman, Harvard University; John Riley,

University of California–Los Angeles; James Sebenius, Harvard University; and

Robert Weber, Northwestern University.

In addition, we have received many detailed comments and suggestions

from our colleagues at Boston University, Shulamit Kahn, Michael Salinger,

and David Weil. The feedback from students in Boston University’s M.B.A. and

Executive Programs has been invaluable. Special thanks to Diane Herbert and

Robert Maurer for their comments and suggestions.

Finally, to Susan and Mary Ellen, whom we cannot thank enough.
