COURSE NAME: Negotiations

INSTRUCTOR: Gunia, Brian

CASEPACK - YES or NO?: Yes

FIRST ASSIGNMENT:  Please read the required text, Getting to Yes, before the first class session. 

IS ATTENDANCE AT FIRST CLASS MANDATORY – YES OR NO?: YES

Please carefully note that there is a strict attendance policy for this course. Attendance is mandatory for the first class session.  If you do not attend the first class you will be dropped from the course and a student from the waiting list will be added in your place. Additionally, attendance is required for each class session so that all students benefit from the negotiation exercises.  You may miss one negotiation exercise without penalty, but only if you provide advance notice to the instructor.  If you do not notify the instructor in advance of a missed negotiation exercise, you will lose a full letter grade on your overall course grade.  If you miss a second exercise, you will lose a full letter grade on your overall course grade regardless of whether you notify the instructor in advance.  In short, you may only miss class once all quarter.

1.      What might be the range of meaning of sustainability and sustainable innovation for a business?
2.      What are underlying internal (strategic) and external drivers of the push for sustainability and innovation? How might these vary across national/economic contexts?
3.      Though they will certainly vary across sectors and operations, what/who are key business contexts/stakeholders and how are these changing and why?
4.      How could a company transform itself to support sustaining innovation?
5.      How is the operational context for business changing? How do current highly complex and uncertain conditions challenge the management tools and processes you have been learning?
5.      How does globalization both enable and challenge innovation?
