This course will help you become a better negotiator. Unlike many negotiation courses, we develop a framework for analyzing and shaping negotiations. This framework will enable you to make principled arguments that persuade others. It will enable you to look beneath the surface of apparent conflicts to discover underlying interests. By the end of the course, you will be better able to predict, interpret, and shape the behavior of those you encounter in competitive situations. Throughout this course, you will have several opportunities to negotiate with other students using examples based on common situations in business and life. You will be able to receive feedback on your performance and compare what you did with how others approached the same scenario. These examples also provide an opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics, including preparing for a negotiation, making ultimatums, avoiding regret, expanding the pie, and communicating with someone who has a completely different world view. Additional topics include negotiating when you don’t have the power, negotiating over email, and the role of gender differences in negotiations. To round out the course, we'll hear from three negotiation experts: Linda Babcock, Herb Cohen, and John McCall McBain. Enjoy.

By analyzing the adoption and implementation of generative AI in the workplace, you will better understand how these tools could shift how we work together.

We all negotiate every day. On a personal level, we negotiate with friends, family members, landlords, car dealers, employers, etc. Negotiation is also the key to success in business. No business can survive without lucrative contracts. Within a company, negotiation skills can lead to your career advancement. I hope you will join the hundreds of thousands of listeners who have made Successful Negotiations one of the most popular and top-rated MOOCs around the world. During the course, you will learn and put into practice the four steps to successful negotiation: (1) Preparation: Plan your negotiation strategy (2) Negotiate: Use key tactics for success (3) Closing: Close the contract (4) Complete and Assess: The End Game To successfully complete this course and improve your negotiation abilities, you will need to do the following: (1) Watch short videos (5 to 20 minutes in length). The videos are interactive and contain questions to test your understanding of strategy and negotiation skills. You can speed up or slow down the videos to choose a listening pace that suits you. Depending on your schedule, you can watch the videos over several weeks, or you can watch them “in one go.” One student who watched the course in one sitting concluded that “It's as good as Breaking Bad.” Another student compared the course to “House of Cards.” Both series contain interesting examples of difficult negotiations! (2) Test your negotiation skills by completing negotiations in Module 6. You can negotiate with a local acquaintance or use Discussions to find a partner from another part of the world. Your negotiation partner will give you feedback on your negotiation skills. To help you with your negotiations, I have developed several free negotiation planning tools related to the course. These tools and a free app are available at http://negotiationplanner.com/. The course also includes an interactive experience where you can test your negotiation skills before engaging in real negotiations. (3) Pass the final exam. To successfully complete the course, you must answer 80% of the questions correctly. The exam is a mastery test, which means you can take it as many times as you like until you have mastered the material. Course Certificate You have the opportunity to receive a Course Certificate.
