本系列教材是编委会精心策划、总结过教材建设经验的基础上，借鉴国内外同类经济做法，经过反复研究论证推出，具有“新、特、实、强”等特点。设计思路新颖，强调学以致用，突出“以学生为中心”的思想；力求创新写作体例和研究分析方法；观点内容着力体现前瞻性、动态性，并做到深度和广度适宜；课程体系体现涉外经济类专业特点，采用中文和英文相结合的办法，凸现双语教学特色；注重实践性、实用性、可操作性。编写教师阵容庞大，教学经验丰富，研究能力强。

　　本书由12章组成，涉及国际商务谈判的各个环节和相关知识，如谈判的准备与开局、磋商策略、僵局化解、签约须知、语言技巧、心理素质、不同国家和地区谈判者的谈判风格和相关礼仪，等等。本书紧扣“国际”二字，围绕“应用”这个主题，将一个个生动的国际商谈案例串联于全书始终——每章先以开篇案例引出主题，接着在主要节目中穿插相关案例佐以分析，最后以结尾案例强化主题、归纳要点，提出问题与思考。全书用这种有节奏地将读者引入各种国际商务谈判情景的方式，以期达到持续激发读者学习兴趣、强化对谈判策略的理解和相关技巧掌握的目的。
　　鉴于本书的对象主要为中国高校生、进修生、来华留学生和从事涉外商务工作的相关人士，所用英文力求浅显通俗，层次结构力求清晰完整。课堂教学时还可结合多媒体方式、现实案例讨论和模拟谈判等形式，学活用活，触类旁通。
