Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Everybody negotiates but managers and professionals should know how to manage conflict and how to negotiate effectively. The goal of this course is to improve students’ negotiation skills by equipping them with the knowledge required to conduct, manage, and analyze negotiation processes.

Discussed topics include basics of negotiations (e.g., BATNA, ZOPA, different negotiation outcomes, etc.), negotiation analysis, cognitive biases in negotiations, personality and negotiations, strategies and tactics, communication, and cross-cultural negotiations.

The course combines lectures with role-playing negotiation simulations, in-class experiments, and exercises. Students will have the opportunity to develop their negotiation skills experientially and apply the theoretical concepts covered in class.
