About the Course:

Game Theory is a branch of mathematics that has particular application for negotiators. In recent years, four Game Theorists won Nobel Prizes.

This seminar shows negotiators how to use game theory to structure negotiations. Negotiators learn how to identify the levers of bargaining power; tipping and walk-away points; the optimal timing and signaling of moves; how to make credible commitments; and, how to interpret the likely motivations behind others’ actions.

Also discussed is how reputation and end game effects factor into negotiations as well as how to achieve compliance once agreements are reached. Game trees are introduced and compared with decision trees. Dealmakers learn how to put such insights into action with a dynamic road map of strategies and tactics to guide them throughout negotiations.
