This course teaches a variety of negotiation skills based on interdisciplinary research and science.  The program will be held at the Charles Hotel, Cambridge, MA, November 15-17.  

The Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School (PON) will present the second Author Session in its 2010-11 series for senior executives, November 18, at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge. Managerial Decision Making will be taught by two internationally recognized experts in the science of decision making.

Professor Max H. Bazerman is a Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. He is extensively published and has been consistently named one of the top 40 authors, speakers and teachers of management by Executive Excellence.  Professor Bazerman is the co-author of Judgment in Managerial Decision Making, 7th Edition, which is widely regarded in the field of decision making science.  A copy of the book will be provided to each participant in the course and will be the basis for the course work.

This one-day course will teach skills that can be applied to all aspects of professional life, such as negotiations, business and marketing strategies and investments.
