MANAGEMT 7046 - Negotiation Skills

North Terrace Campus - Trimester 3 - 2016

The course information on this page is being finalised for 2016. Please check again before classes commence.

The purpose of this course is threefold. The first is to explore the major concepts and theories of negotiation, as well as the dynamics of interpersonal and intergroup conflict and its resolution. This will involve studying the structural (eg parties, positions, interests) and process (cognitive, interactional) dynamics that are required for a sound critical understanding. The second objective is to develop practical skills applicable to a broad range of contexts. This involves direct training in identifying crucial elements of negotiation situations and implementing appropriate resolution strategies. The third objective is to develop teamwork skills by working within and through group exercises.

    Course Learning Outcomes

    In the past few decades, negotiation has moved from the industrial relations arena to the forefront of managerial interest. Negotiation, bargaining and mediation have traditionally referred to the arbitration of disputes between labour and management. However, scholars and practitioners now recognise that these skills operate in virtually every management function, including strategy formulation, mergers and acquisitions, purchasing, sales, resource allocation and many others.

    Negotiation is a common mechanism for resolving differences between, and allocating resources among, exchange partners, such as superiors, colleagues, peers, corporate entities and even nations. Broadly viewed, these are social decision making processes, involving interdependent parties who do not share identical preferences, and in this way are essential elements of the business enterprise.


    Objectives for the course include:

      2.1.1 To develop an understanding of the theory and practice of negotiation in particular and conflict resolution in general;
      2.1.2 To identify the personal challenges we all have in dealing with negotiation and conflict resolution;
      2.1.3 To explore how to positively interact with others;
      2.1.4 To understand negotiation as a system and the important role of subsidiary actors.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
