| Content | Negotiation is central to business, whether you plan on working in marketing, on Wall Street, as a consultant, for government, not-for-profit, or for yourself. This class will teach you the basic tenants of successful negotiation, and help you to understand the strategies and tactics that work best for you. This course is designed to complement the technical and diagnostic skills learned in other courses at Georgetown. Although business requires a broad array of analytical skills in marketing, management, finance, accounting, and operations, these skills will only go so far. As a complement, managers need a broad array of negotiation skills in order to get their proposals accepted and implemented. In other words, this course will not only help you get a job, but also help you succeed in your job. This course will develop participants' negotiation skills experientially. We will spend a considerable amount of time practicing techniques so that you feel comfortable using them. I will also teach you the most up-to-date theories and frameworks, so that we can analyze what strategies work, and under what circumstances they are most effective. |
| Learning objectives | To make you a more effective negotiator, this course will help you: - Reevaluate your notions of when and why people negotiate. - Understand the central strategies and tactics of negotiation. - Improve your ability to analyze the behavior and motives of others. - Diagnose situational factors and how they will influence the negotiation process. - Negotiate with 'difficult' people. - Develop confidence in using negotiation as a tool to help you get what you want. |
