The Art and science of negotiation
(MBA Course)
Course Objective
We negotiate in different ways every day. Understanding the negotiation process and improving individual negotiation skills is critical to continued career success. The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the art and science of negotiation, and explore ways in which they can improve their negotiating skills. To that end this course is based on theoretical and empirical research, case analyses, discussion/debate, and various in-class activities. In this course I break down the negotiating process into various principles and concepts. The goal is that at the end of the course students will leave with a better understanding of their preferred negotiation style, an improved ability to adopt different negotiation styles, and an understanding of the ways in which negotiating can support (or undermine) organizational goals and objectives.
