Description: Examines negotiating as a process where two or more parties seek to build upon their common interests and manage their divergent ones.

Extensive use is made of simulated negotiation exercises followed by analysis of outcomes to enable students to practice applying concepts and theories developed by economists and social psychologists to concrete business cases.
