The theories to be covered include rational models of bargaining behaviour that have been developed in economics and decision sciences, and cognitive and behavioural theories that investigate how bargaining behaviour may diverge from the predictions of the rational models;
2. An opportunity to develop their bargaining skills and apply the theoretical concepts covered in class in a variety of negotiating exercises and cases; and
3. Exposure to new communication and computer technologies that are used in negotiation analysis and support, and in the conducting of negotiations in e-business and beyond.
