Rotman Power, Influence & Emotion in Negotiations

Managing the Interpersonal Dynamics in Negotiations

Go beyond strategies and tactics to fine tune your deal-making skills and gain confidence in structuring agreements — even in high conflict situations. Understand, identify and leverage the emotions and complex interpersonal dynamics at play in negotiations by immersing yourself in intense simulations so you are better prepared to influence outcomes.

Rotman's Power, Influence and Emotion in Negotiations (formerly Advanced Negotiations) addresses the more complex interpersonal processes you experience during a negotiation. That could mean disputes, multi-party dynamics, or social influence and networking.

Practice applying principles to tough situations through continuous and varied exercises. Next, debrief the simulations with your peers in lively discussions as faculty help you draw lines between your experience and established theory and research.

From small groups to large complex negotiation exercises, you’ll identify and correct personal negotiating blind spots and build on strengths with immediate feedback. You’ll observe and learn from the different approaches of your peers in mock negotiations set in difficult settings.

Finally, you’ll synthesize insights gained throughout the program to emerge more confident in your ability to influence and shape outcomes in complex deals. This program focuses on the interpersonal and emotional dynamics of negotiations — both simple and complex. For strategies and tactics of negotiations, consider our Negotiations Program.
