Description
This course teaches hands-on, real-world negotiation skills in a simulated negotiation in which the American University class will represent a US pharmaceutical company, KJH Pharmaceutical Corporation (KJH), and a class at Georgetown University will represent an African agricultural production company, Malundian Cassava Corporation (MCC). The two companies are interested in working together to exploit a new technology developed by KJH Pharmaceutical that uses the cassava produced by MCC. The form of their collaboration could be a joint venture, a licensing agreement or a long term supply contract. The negotiations will take place through written exchanges and live negotiations that will be conducted in person or via videoconference.
