In this module, students are exposed to competitive strategy in order to develop a set of analytical approaches and tools to help formulate and evaluate these strategies on a topic-by-topic basis.

- Negotiation is one of several means that help managers make decisions. It is neither superior nor inferior to other forms of decision making. It is appropriate in some circumstances but not in others. Management is complex and deciding when negotiation is appropriate is just one aspect. The course aims to provide a thorough grounding in the science and practice of negotiation. Academic disciplines such as economics, psychology, sociology, politics, anthropology and mathematics have researched negotiation and much of this material forms the basis for its scientific analysis.
