Managerial success requires agreement and collaboration with other people. This is certainly true for transactions between suppliers and customers, and between investors and start-up companies. It also applies in settling lawsuits, resolving labor problems, forging joint ventures, and crafting strategic alliances in a domestic and/or international environment.
Since other stakeholders do not have the same interests, perceptions, and values that you do, negotiation skill is needed, professionally and personally. This course is aimed at enabling you to become a more effective negotiator. Effectiveness requires analytic vision and interpersonal understanding.
This module provides you with the opportunity to identify your strengths as a negotiator and to work on your weaknesses.
