Problem
Myers looked forward to negotiating for pandas with Chinese representatives but he knew it would be challenging. He refocused his attention to three planning tasks:
a) Developing an appropriate framework or structure for the transaction.
b) Identifying the main agenda items for negotiation.
c) Crafting a communication strategy and talking points by which to persuade his powerful Chinese counterparts to allow pandas to return to the San Diego Zoo
What exactly should he do in each area?
