Primarily through interactive discussion, skill-building exercises and role play ("learning by doing"), the course covers alternative approaches to negotiation and the requisite skills associated with each. The course explores adversarial versus collaborative negotiation, the tensions between distributive and integrative bargaining, and best practices for effective negotiation in a variety of contexts, with different personalities. Students negotiate mock problems against each other based on a prepared set of facts. Negotiations are reviewed by group discussion and one videotape review. Among the topics addressed are: preparation and client counseling; tactics and countermeasures, including first offer and demand patterns as well as concession strategies; communication skills, including, questioning, and active listening; psychological barriers to conflict resolution; competitive v. cooperative styles and techniques; and ethical issues.
Enrollment is limited to 20 students. Students who have taken Interviewing, Counseling and Negotiating (244.5)) will not be admitted.
