Inhalte (short description):
This module familiarizes students with the theoretical background and practical application of key instruments required to succeed in global business, such as negotiation and presentation. Almost all business revenue generated flows through effective negotiations and presentations, yet these activities are often poorly understood and even more poorly practiced. The module introduces students to the theoretical concepts underlying strong negotiations and presentations. Beyond, students will be provided with a set of practical tools to use when they next find themselves in the role of a negotiator or presenter. Throughout the course, they will practically apply the concepts and tools and thus train their negotiation and presentation skills. All contents will be discussed in the context of global business, appreciating the role of culture and enhancing cultural awareness when interacting with business partners across the globe.
