Course content

The course focuses on the theory and processes of negotiation by exploring literature, experiencing a range of negotiation simulations, reflecting on own learning and analysis of real life negotiations. Negotiation frameworks are best learned via hands-on experience and all sessions will have significant amounts of time allotted to simulations.

Course content:

  • Dynamics of distributive and integrative bargaining.
  • Preparation and interest analysis.
  • Sources of influence on negotiation processes and outcome.
  • Intervention.
  • Negotiations in practice.

Learning methods and activities

A high degree of active participation is expected to facilitate own and other students learning. Classes will be a mixture of lectures, discussions and negotiation simulations. The course will be taught in intensive sessions throughout the semester.

Further on evaluation

The assessment will be based on two parts: One individual portfolio of assignments given throughout the semester, and one group portfolio including paper presentations and a term paper. Both account for 50% of the grade respectively. Students who fail one of the parts may retake this. In that case the evaluation form may be changed. Students who want to improve the grade for the whole course, must apply to take the course the following year, in this case the portfolio may be given another type of assessment.

Admission to the study program is required, see "special conditions". Since there is restricted admission to this course, NTNU students planning to take the course should register before the deadline June 1st.

Required previous knowledge

Because of the highly experiential nature of this course, attendance and class participation are required. Due to the interactive nature of the course, attendance may be limited. If so, students will have priority subject to NTNU Business School ECTS credits and previous grades. Failure to meet for the first session without prior acceptance by course lecturer will without exception result in a loss of place. The course is taught entirely in English. Evaluation and assessment will also be conducted in English. The course is open for Norwegian students and exchange students.
