LHRP 431 - Negotiations for Managers

Institution:

Case Western Reserve University

Subject:

Description:

The aim of this course is to enhance individual as well as organizational performance and competitive advantage through "principled negotiation", "win-win bargaining", and collaborative as opposed to competitive approaches to team problem solving. The context crosses all types of business, government and non-governmental organizations. Concepts, strategies, and models of negotiation are drawn from social psychology, economics, labor relations, and legal literature. Students will also be introduced to mediation (both as mediators and negotiators); to the complex art of advocacy and to the latest alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques. There is heavy reliance on simulations and role play to enhance student understanding of key course concepts. Although immediate skill enhancement through practice is a goal, students understanding of key concepts will enable them to continuously improve their insights and skills long after the course is concluded. There is no prerequisite for the course.
