How flirting can help a woman close the deal
Daily Mail, 11/10/2012, p.25, Unattributed
Women should be 'playful' rather than 'serious' when negotiating, says a team of researchers from the Haas School of Business at the University of California and the London School of Economics. Being friendly makes them seem warm and approachable, while striking a bargain means they continue to be seen as successful.

"If they wanted to do something really different, they would look at South Sudan and a fairly exemplary peace process there," said Iver Neumann, professor of international relations at the London School of Economics.
