Subject of course

Negotiating will be simulated in roll play situations. Negotiating will be done simultaneously in diverse situations such as 1:1, 2:2 etc. Each negotiation will be followed by analyses and planning for the next round of negotiations. Due to the fact that the same task is performed simultaneously by different groups it is possible to work out, how different results have come about. The seminar is based on the book Getting to Yes by R. Fisher, W. Ury und B. Patton (Campus Verlag 2001).
