Making & Saving Deals (“M&SD”) started out in 2002 as a post-graduate academic program bringing together each year students and professors from around the world (www.makingandsavingdeals.com). Since its inception, M&SD has evolved into a larger and deeper training and research project, where scientifically sound theories of negotiation meet and pass the challenges of commercial deal-making around the globe.

The development of the world, of our communities and of our lives depends on our ability to make deals. Indeed, whether we like it or not we negotiate constantly about everything, and with everybody. Just imagine the enormous impact on your life and our world, if you could learn how to cut better agreements, preserve relationships and prevent conflict and its escalation. In fact, even a small improvement in doing so would result in enormous advantages.

We believe passionately that, by learning how to effectively make and save deals, each of us will not only be much better off, but also contribute to change his or her piece of the world we live in. To help achieve this goal, we are building a clearinghouse offering knowledge contributed by the world's most inspired thinkers and doers in the field of negotiation, conflict management, mediation, decision making, positive influence, conflict prevention and arbitration.

The "Glocal" mission statement of M&SD.
Make available to trainers, training organizations and professionals, in their local culture and language, cutting-edge know-how on every aspect of making deals and saving them.
