Strategic Negotiation

Introduction

How can one get an upper hand in negotiations with more subtle techniques…

“Negotiation is at the heart of human interaction. Whatever forms it takes, verbally or nonverbally, consciously or unconsciously, people negotiate whenever they interact. How can one get an upper hand in negotiations with more subtle techniques which enable to observe keenly the ongoing overall situation? This three-day programme offers a set of negotiation strategies, models and tools, showing how to reach an agreement even in most difficult situations. These together will change the way you view and conduct virtually every negotiation.”

Professor Guy Olivier Faure (Paris V Decartes, Sorbonne University)
