Who
Should Attend
Intended for faculty who teach (or plan to teach) courses on international
negotiation or who would like to add an international teaching
module to their courses.
Past participants
have come from the fields of economics, psychology, foreign languages,
and communications, as well as from international business, organizational
behavior, management and marketing.
Participants
will be provided with thematic grounding in both international
business and negotiation on October 16, providing the basis on
which to build the primary workshop elements. Included will be
a systematic survey of key arenas in the study and practice of
international business negotiation; in-depth consideration of
selected arenas such as firm-firm and firm-NGO negotiations; and
demonstration of field-tested materials useful in engaging students
and conveying key learning about international business negotiation.
The preliminary agenda can be found here.
Faculty
attending the workshop will have the opportunity to assess their
own cultural communication styles using an exciting
new on-line resource, InterCultural
Edge©, based on Richard Lewis' book When Cultures
Collide and undergoing further development in association
with the Duke University CIBER. They will also participate in
a role-play negotiation simulation, thereby gaining new insights
into how this particular type of assignment might fit into a course.
