EMBA Negotiation

Course Overview

Effective negotiation skills are essential to successful managers. Whereas technical skills are required to discover optimal solutions to problems, effective interpersonal negotiation skills are necessary to implement these solutions. This course provides you with the opportunity to further develop your negotiation skills through an introduction to relevant empirical research in behavioral science and through multiple in-class negotiation exercises.

Specific aims of the course are:

• to develop an analytical framework that will help you better understand negotiation situations and the challenges they entail.

• to provide you with opportunities for in-class negotiations, with the goal that you develop your existing repertoire of negotiation tactics and strategies and that you further your ability to correctly evaluate the costs and benefits of these alternative strategies.
