Whilst the Negotiation Skills course examines the basic structure of a negotiation to resolve disputes and differences, this course will digest a number of the more complex issues encountered when conducting such negotiations. The issues considered will include:
A. The role of trust in negotiation.
B. The role of ethics in negotiation.
C. The shadow of the law: the role of the law in negotiation.
D. Negotiation through agents.
E. Negotiation through a team.
F> The impact of culture on style, strategies and tactics.
G. How to deal with deadlock and difficult people.
H. The resolution agreement and how it might be structured to ensure compliance.
I. The added complexity in multi-party and single-issue or multi-issue negotiation.
Throughout the course, participants will engage in simulated negotiation exercises. The exercises are designed to enhance the learning experience, illustrate the key points being made in the lectures and bring practical and real-world contexts to the course material.
