  1. Have a broad intellectual understanding of central concepts in negotiations to systematically evaluate negotiation process and outcomes in international contexts
  2. Develop strategic plans for negotiating in a variety of international contexts
  3. Craft deals that create and claim maximum value for a long-term, sustainable basis
  4. Handle complexities, such as dealing with cultural differences, multiple issues, parties, and changing environments in international negotiations
  5. Build confidence in negotiation skills by understanding one’s own and the other parties’ strengths and weaknesses in negotiating across cultural boundaries
Required Readings: Since class time is limited and we will predominantly focus on your experiences and core issues, readings will be used to prepare students for the negotiation role-plays, substantiate their intellectual learning of negotiation concepts, and provide them with variety of examples from international contexts.

The best way to learn negotiation skills and internalize them is to negotiate in a safe environment that provides insight, feedback, opportunity for reflection and risk taking, and where careful analysis is required.

Therefore, the class is predominantly experiential. We will have complex role-plays in international context on variety of business issues such as company acquisitions and takeovers, strategic alliances, and dispute resolution between business partners.

We will combine negotiation role-plays with readings and interactive lectures where we will debrief students’ experiences in each negotiation role-play to extract broader principles about effective deal-making in different international contexts. The course is sequenced in a way that cumulative knowledge can be applied and practiced.
