Abstract: Negotiations are the basic process of reaching an agreement. The goal of negotiations should always be to work towards a mutually agreeable position or solution. In this Webinar, the key basic principles of effective negotiations will be discussed. At the same time, we will also identify fundamental obstacles or blocks to reaching resolutions. Lastly, we will explore potential pitfalls that can occur.
Negotiations are a process. Influencing skills are the skills that support effective negotiations. The skills and the process go hand in hand. Negotiations are often needed in a scientific collaboration environment. Our focus will be on developing the awareness of negotiations aimed at producing a “win-win” result.
