Course Content

In this course we aim to help students improve their knowledge about and skills in negotiation. This basically involves using the four elements: time, information, power and skill. We will employ these elements though a system involving strategy, tactics, body language, and give-and-take for the purpose of attaining a preset goal. This goal could be settling a dispute, working out the details of a deal, finalizing a sale, applying for and justifying the attainment of a position, etc. We will talk about different approaches to negotiation, different types of negotiators and the methods they may apply, and how to counter these and work towards a solution that will be beneficial to all parties involved.
