Negotiation is the process through which conflicts are resolved, resources are allocated, and agreements are made. The types and contexts of negotiation vary widely from minor disagreements amongst friends to complex, high-risk commercial, legal or political negotiations.

In this module you will gain a broad understanding of the concepts, frameworks and theories of conflict and negotiation and the body of empirical research that supports them. You will learn to differentiate between effective and ineffective negotiation strategies and tactics and how to create and claim value when negotiating. Throughout the module you will engage in hands-on negotiation exercises, class discussion and reflection. These will contribute to your overall assessment; therefore attendance in class is essential.

The broad objective of this module is to provide you with the tools and skills to help you become an effective negotiator and to give you hands on experience of negotiation.
