Course Description:
This course meets three (3) times only: February 8, February 15 and February 22 (each day falling on a Saturday, 9:00am-6:00pm PDT, inclusive of an hour lunch break). Full attendance is mandatory in all three course sessions.
For each of the three course dates, the morning sessions will be used to introduce and provide actionable negotiation-related concepts (“Thinking Slow Mode”). The afternoon sessions will be used to apply the morning’s actionable concepts toward purposely-driven negotiation simulations (“Thinking Fast Mode”).
How do you strategically prepare for a successful negotiation? How do you persuade people and yourself? How do you know when to say “yes” or “no” to an offer? Should you ever walkout in a negotiation? How can you leverage emotion in a negotiation context? How do you recognize and remedy implicit biases? What is a “fair” outcome? And what is the right balance between “competition” and “cooperation”? To create a roadmap to think about these issues, this highly interactive course provides a framework to “think like a negotiator” from both a domestic and international perspective. The simulations utilized in the course are “for example” streamlined scenarios based on first principles, where you have the opportunity to apply the given course concepts within randomized teams. As another distinguishing feature, this course primarily takes an international and/or commercial perspective, which may be particularly suitable for those pursuing a commercial/business law career arc.
You will also have the opportunity to learn different conceptual frameworks underlying negotiation theory and practice, including positional bargaining, integrative bargaining, strategic communication, psychological influences, and negotiation power, which apply to both online and in-person negotiation contexts.
Through this course, you will learn various strategies on how to get others to want what you want through persuasion, sway, and influence underlying your various negotiations. Through this course, you will ideally develop a toolbox to constantly improve as negotiators by asking the right questions, framing issues, and negotiating with others with different skillsets, perceptions, experiences, and backgrounds. This course will also help you learn more about yourself, as a negotiator, and the influence you wield.

-The Registrar’s Office will drop a student who does not attend each course session.
Due to the condensed nature of this course, in-person attendance at all course sessions is mandatory. Absences cannot be excused for any reason, including illness or emergencies. The Registrar’s Office will drop any student who misses a session.
Attendance at the first class is mandatory for all currently enrolled and waitlisted students; any currently enrolled or waitlisted students who are not present on the first day of class (without prior permission of the instructor) will be dropped.
