Overview

Negotiation skills are essential for any manager, especially those responsible for supply chain management. This course provides you with a roadmap for leading or participating in successful negotiations. You will focus on the entire negotiation process and learn the activities and techniques to be used from the preparation stage to the actual face-to-face negotiations.

In addition, you will explore the understanding of the other negotiator, responding to power imbalances, and looking beyond the deal to build longer-term relationships. Interactive activities, including negotiation simulations and role-playing exercises, allow opportunities to fine-tune your own negotiating skills.

This course includes business‑related learning that may align with some of Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT) Blue Seal Certificate business competencies and may support your application. Learn more about earning the Blue Seal using SAIT Continuing Education courses.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
