Welcome to International Negotiations And Transactions. Negotiation is an art and a science. A transactional course dealing with important legal aspects of doing business across national boundaries. We negotiate every day in both our personal and professional lives. There is no “right way” to negotiate. Different approaches and styles may be more effective in particular situations. Without even knowing it, we negotiate everyday with spouses, roommates, landlords, co-workers, supervisors, service providers, etc. Determining what price we will pay, where we will go on vacation, what movie to watch, our salary and our compensation are all negotiations. Despite the fact that negotiations are pervasive, research shows that individuals and groups often leave value at the table and fail to reach agreements that could be better for all parties. As such, the course is aimed at developing analytical and communication skills that are necessary for successful international business negotiations. The objectives of this course are to introduce students to the negotiation and drafting of agreements that implement selected private international business transactions.
