The MBA international summer program features a 3 credit (6 ECTS) course. Dive deep into business negotiation and learn from Haskayne’s award-winning senior instructor, Leighton Wilks. Negotiation is the art and science by which decisions are made, agreements are reached, and disputes resolved between two or more parties. Managers negotiate with individual employees, colleagues negotiate solutions to problems, representatives from different companies negotiate contracts, and companies often negotiate with representatives from government or regulatory bodies. This course is designed to be relevant to the broad spectrum of bargaining problems that are traditionally faced by managers. Successful negotiation is both an “art” and a “science”, and as such successful learning is prefaced upon active participation in a series of exciting experiential negotiation activities. Students will have the opportunity to negotiate with classmates under various circumstances; one-on-one negotiations, team-based negotiations, and multiparty negotiations.
- Identify the key contextual factors that influence the choice of negotiation strategy and the negotiation process
- Determine your own strengths and weaknesses as a negotiator
- Identify interests, priorities and reservation points that need to be satisfied in the negotiated agreement
- Manage conflict among team members and between negotiators
