Negotiation is something people do all the time and is not only used for business.  For example, people use it their social lives perhaps for deciding a time to meet, where to go for dinner, etc.  Business negotiation is the process by which typically two or more parties come together to try to create a mutually agreeable contractual decision.  This stimulating course introduces the skills required for taking part in successful negotiations.  It introduces a systematic approach to preparing and conducting negotiations at all levels through analysis of case studies, discussion of real life experience and by taking part in simulations to develop and implement appropriate skills for a professional deal.
