Strategic Negotiations Dealmaking for the Long Term

The information below is based on the program offered in 2013, and does not reflect potential changes to faculty and course content for the 2014 course.

Who Is Right for the Program

Strategic Negotiations is designed for senior executives of large established companies who face complex and challenging negotiations that require unique skills. It is particularly appropriate for business leaders who are in the process of realigning corporate strategy, undertaking a sizeable deal, settling a major dispute, or juggling multiple constituencies.

Executives who are well suited for the program include:

  • Entrepreneurs
  • Chief executive officers
  • General managers
  • Presidents
  • Board members and chairs
  • Business development executives
  • Corporate counsels

Because many high-level negotiations can involve complex financial analyses, participants must be familiar with basic finance and accounting principles such as present value calculations.

"This program is essential for anyone who wants to understand the fundamentals of negotiation. The real-life cases were well developed, and the program was structured to create a supportive climate for changing bad habits and learning new techniques. I highly recommend Strategic Negotiations for executives of all levels."
