GMBA70-302: Effective Negotiation

Description

Effective business management requires negotiation of complex relationships and contracts with customers and clients, with suppliers and a range of other stakeholders. These can be particularly challenging in a global business setting where cross-cultural issues may arise and norms are challenged. Improving negotiation skills involves the understanding of both theory and practice; and also an appreciation of how negotiation can be both a science and an art form. The subject surveys theoretical and practical approaches to negotiation through an experiential pedagogy that emphasises a neutral perspective in conflict resolution. This subject will develop a better understanding of the subtleties of negotiations and a better set of skills for optimising negotiated outcomes.
