International Negotiating Strategies
(One to Three Days)
Participants will first examine typical U.S. negotiating strategies, and then probe the key differences
between domestic and international negotiations. International Negotiating Strategies will
teach participants practical negotiating strategies that will ensure win-win results in a multicultural
environment. Negotiating strategies, tactics and countermeasures, personal relationships,
decision-making, and contractual and administrative factors will be examined for the key locations
where you do business around the world. Participants will be actively involved in role plays, case
studies, critical incidents, and company-specific practice negotiations.
