Information

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

• Notenschlüssel:
0%-49%: nicht genügend
50%-62%: genügend
63%-74%: befriedigend
75%-87%: gut
88%-100%: sehr gut

Reading list

• The main text for the course is Practical Business Negotiation (Baber & Chen, 2015). Students are encouraged to read and use it as well as the following books:
o The Mind and Heart of the Negotiator (Thompson, 2014);
o Negotiation: Closing Deals, Settling Disputes, and Making Team Decisions (Hames, 2011);
o Also, some more casual books I like are 3D Negotiation, and Getting to Yes.
• Students are not advised to read popular business books such as “Art of the Deal” or “Bargaining for Advantage” or “Getting More: How You Can Negotiate to Succeed in Work and Life” as these tend to rely on tactics that may damage long term relationships and limit creation of value for the parties in a negotiation.
