Negotiations for Managers and Entrepreneurs

This course is relevant for students who want to get familiar with tools to negotiate effectively and reach specific goals particularly in situations of (potential) conflict. It should provide them with in-depth knowledge on negotiation essentials and different aspects of this field, e.g. communication in negotiations or dispute resolution. The course uses the newer Harvard concept of 3D-Negotiations (beyond the traditional "Getting to Yes" concept).

This course is critical for students who want to get an in-depth understanding of and practical training with tools to negotiate effectively.

To achieve that, the first half of this concentration module follows the framework below:

1. Negotiation setup - Stakeholders, interests, sequencing, etc.
2. Deal design - Effective trade and contingent contracts
3. Negotiation tactics - Think, talk, and act at the negotiation table

In the second half, participants are offered the opportunity toapply their negotiation skills to real-life contexts by investigating a specific negotiation or negotiation setting (this can also be accomplished through a negotiation-focused interview).
