Negotiation in International Business – Course Details
Duration
2 days
What is this course about?
Negotiation skills are not readily transferable across cultures and countries. No course can hope to train anyone to negotiate successfully in a manner that will be applicable throughout the world. On the other hand, the principles of good negotiation and being able to learn how to negotiate across cultures are core skills that all international companies and managers need to understand.
This course takes experienced negotiators, or builds on the negotiation skills course, and helps them understand how to create a good negotiating style that will stand them in good stead throughout the world.
Key topics covered
- Analysis of negotiation itself, breaking it down into common factors and culture-specific factors
- Development of negotiations so that we create an awareness of what is always specific and what is always generic
- Methods of dealing with local negotiations
- Use of language, including body language
- Simulations and discussion
