| Lehrinhalte |
(*)Right from the early days of mankind people had to negotiate with each other – in verbal or non-verbal ways, using brute force or gentle bargaining tactics. Whereas in ancient Greece Socrates was regarded as a brilliant rhetoric and the inventor of the dialectic method of inquiry (also referred to as the Socratic Method), business managers rely on the toolkit and system of the Harvard Negotiation Project (“Getting to a Yes!”) or make use of communication techniques like Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP – a mixture of communication and psychotherapy developed in the 1970s) to succeed in negotiations. Whatever instrument, toolkit, strategy or tactics individual negotiators rely to is highly shaped by their individual preferences and the negotiation situation.
In class we are going to proceed from simple negotiations that highly reflect student’s life (like “Getting into a class that is full”) to more complex multi-dimension negotiations with a broad range of parties and interests.
The final large scale negotiation on day 3 will be co-taught together with an expert in Austrian politics.
