Negotiation is central to business, whether one plans on working in marketing, on Wall Street as a consultant, for government, not-for-profit, or for yourself. This class teaches the basic tenets of successful negotiation, and helps students gain an understanding of the strategies and tactics that work best. This course is designed to complement the technical and diagnostic skills learned in other courses at the university. Although business requires a broad array of analytical skills in marketing, management, finance, accounting, and operations, these skills only go so far. As a complement, managers need a broad array of negotiation skills in order to get their proposals accepted and implemented. In other words, this course not only helps students to get a job, but also to succeed in it. The course develops participants’ negotiation skills via experience. A considerable amount of time is used for practicing techniques so that the participants feel comfortable using them.
