This course explores the processes, dynamics, challenges and opportunities
involved when negotiating with a diverse clientele, with the goal of maximizing
each participant’s personal negotiating power and effectiveness. Participants

different negotiation styles, learn intercultural communication skills for

reaching mutually satisfying agreements with people of diverse backgrounds.

perceptions, values, reasoning styles, attitudes, language, social relations,
ethnocentrism, ambiguity, orientations and patterns, formality, emotion,
different values, attitudes and reasoning styles and their relationships to
communication and negotiation.
