insufficient attention

Hello,

Can you please help me with the following sentence. Is it OK? What should I change?

One of the possible reasons of insufficient attention of the academic publicity/audience/experts probably lies in the fact that until recently negotiation was considered to be exclusively business or diplomatic skill ascribed to especially endowed/capable and talented individuals and people of great experience in business or politics.

Thank you
