Strategic Negotiation : Making Sustainable Deals

The key theme of this module is to learn how to negotiate and make sustainable business deals. Strategic negotiations are highly relevant in today’s interconnected business landscape. Companies need to negotiate with multiple stakeholders, such as suppliers, customers, agencies, governments and authorities to be able to access the resources that they need. A strategic deal that companies would need is not a fixed entity but rather the outcome of long and time-consuming negotiations that affect further negotiations.

The module will examine:

1. the strategic challenges that companies face in their markets today,
2. the analytical tools that are needed to make sustainable business deals,
3. the biases and errors in deal-making
4. the various ways by which business deals are manifested, and
5. the managerial implications of strategic negotiations.
