Our class sessions take place face-to-face and are designed to take maximum advantage of in-person learning; they typically include negotiation simulations, case study analysis and discussions. I recognize, however, that life happens: we fall ill, encounter travel/visa difficulties, need to care for others, etc. I will therefore stream all face-to-face sessions for students who cannot join in person. Please note, however, that learning sessions are not designed as hybrid, so please do join in-person whenever possible.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course aims to equip students with core knowledge and understanding of negotiation strategies. We first consider issues, interests and approaches, beginning with two-party negotiations. We then progress to consider multi-party, multi-issue negotiations and subsequently apply core frameworks to diplomatic negotiations in East Asian contexts.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Describe the central negotiation approaches, frameworks and tactics;
• Analyze negotiation processes and strategies, particularly in East Asian contexts;
• Apply successful negotiation strategies to probable international diplomatic and/or managerial scenarios;
• Pinpoint the bias(es) that are factors in the outcomes secured by negotiators, and critically reflect upon the role of these biases in their own negotiation practice.

This course blends experiential learning and theory. During in-person sessions, students can take part in simulations to enhance their understanding of negotiation processes.

While highly recommended, attendance and the completion of activities designed to support learning are not mandatory.

Assessment and permitted materials

The student's grade is based solely on their performance in the final exam.
Students are required to complete one course examination and can select from four dates.

The exam is open book, which means that you can use all aids (scripts, notes, internet, etc.).

The course includes a mid-semester and final revision class, providing opportunities to best prepare for the examination.
