Cross-Cultural Negotiations & Dispute Resolution

About

This course will review different negotiation styles for various geographic regions and cultures, particularly in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Students will engage in a variety of simulated negotiations based on real facts. These negotiations will range from initial commercial arrangements, such as salary negotiations, to complex negotiations aimed at resolving disputes. Students will also have the opportunity to undertake the role of the mediator and to lead simulated mediations with their peers.
