To address business problems, the key is not just to solve them short term but to employ the most sustainable, workable and productive solutions. This course analyses negotiation, mediation and advocacy from a theoretical basis to practical application. It addresses issues in the immediate workplace and in the wider system of enterprise bargaining, awards, and industrial tribunals. Topics include: the nature and sources of conflict, the skills of negotiation, mediation and advocacy, distributive bargaining and interdependence, planning and strategy, communication and persuasion, power in negotiations, third party intervention and the ethics of negotiation and advocacy. Adopting a problem based learning approach using relevant cases and experiences, the course emphasises the importance of communication as an essential attribute.
