We all negotiate every day. And even though negotiations are an integral part of our lives, techniques for managing these situations are not instinctive, they must be learned. Understanding key concepts such as the ‘best alternative to no agreement’, reservation price, and the ‘zone of possible agreement’ can help you conduct a successful negotiation. And since power is a fundamental dynamic in negotiations, it is important for negotiators to have a basic understanding of ways they can exert and also gain power in a discussion. This course should be an essential part of any basic business and management training.
Average weekly commitment: 3+ hours. Total course commitment: 15+ hours.
