Description: Think you’ve closed the deal? Just wait until you start negotiating. In any negotiation, the parties are looking to reach a long-term consensus that produces action. But negotiating is a process, not an outcome. It involves an underlying strategy where parties identify their priorities and determine which details are worth bargaining over. In this course, students will learn how strategy informs tactics. In particular, they will study the barriers to effective negotiating; the best negotiation styles in various contexts; the role of emotional intelligence in building goodwill and relationships; when and how power and leverage should be applied; and how to prepare for a negotiation. The course will taught through 8-12 minute lecture videos, with students evaluated through quizzes.
