Participants are expressly encouraged to contribute their own negotiation situations and work on realistic examples. Participants will receive a brief theoretical introduction to the topic of“negotiation” and then deal with current and upcoming everyday situations. They will learn how to prepare for negotiations . Furthermore, they will test their own strategies and learn how to use LLMs for preparation.
Goals:
- Understand the structure of negotiations
- Develop your own strategies for specific situations
- Recognize and utilize the interests of others
- Practice negotiating and learn to recognize personal risks
