Course Description
Through a series of group simulations, exercises, feedback, and debrief sessions, this course will provide students with the fundamentals of effective negotiation strategies and communication. Students will become equipped with a toolkit to address a range of contexts that call for negotiation skills.

Whether students encounter cooperative or distrustful counterparts, or are confronted with multiple stakeholders, the core concepts presented in the course will help them develop wiser decision-making strategies under pressure, a more systematic framework to prepare for and execute negotiations, and greater facility in approaches for creating and capturing value in negotiation.
