Hi Nancy,

Here is my syllabus for essentials of negotiations, which we teach in a 1.5 credit module.  All of the cases and exercises are from Northwestern and Harvard.  Virtually all of the ones that I chose can be scored, which is a consideration that may or may not be important to you.  There is also a progression and balance between distributive and integrative cases.

I had used Lewicki, Barry, and Saunders, Negotiation: readings, Exercises, and Cases for many years but wanted to pursue the advantage of higher quality cases by switching to individual cases not in a book.  The logistics aren't too bad.  We collect approximately $40 dollars from the students for the copyright permissions and I e-mail the cases and confidential information to the students before each class and exercise.   The Latz book is very practical and does a nice job of basing its discussions on good literature.  So it's not pitched too low like many negotiation books, or too much from a theoretical perspective.

Hi everyone. We are developing a new MBA emphasis area and would love to see others' syllabi on courses focusing on Conflict Management, and Negotiation Strategies. We are developing a separate course for each.

Thank you in advance for anything you might be able to provide!

"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honor trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then- to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you."
