Negotiation Game

Negotiation Game is a simulation of a workplace negotiation to be carried out by the students in the classroom.

To provide realism and to allow the students to prepare at home for the negotiation game, a case setting has been developed. The case setting can be acquired through accessing the case in Casemaker.
