授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
Everyday challenges – I teach a lot of business school courses like Strategic Management, Business Plan (to create new ventures) and Leading Sustainable Businesses, but I think that Business Negotiation might be one of the most important - which is why I really like teaching it. Indeed, whether we realize it or not, a great many things in business and life involve some kind of negotiation - from determining who will do what in a group project to simply deciding where to go for lunch, you are negotiating all of the details. Of course, in an emerging new world, where many of the old "rules" don't seem to apply anymore and different cultural rules often apply, reaching agreement on things through negotiations got a lot harder. So, taking away “mystery” of successful negotiation and developing a more systematic approach to the process of negotiation (in business and in life generally) focused on what we really want to achieve must be a good learning goal and a very smart career move. It means that this should be a very useful skill building course, that will stay with you and grow through experience.
到達目標 / Achievement Goal
Business Negotiation is a basic level course is designed to develop and/or expand this new foundation negotiations requirement through a combination of interactive lecture, case discussion (7 cases) and “work-shop” style course learning process. The more casual work-shop like class format is designed for active learning and lots of chances for everyone to participate in the case discussions and negotiating role plays and simple negotiating exercises. The active learning environment should be a lot of fun, but gives the opportunity to really learn really useful professional skills by actually "doing it", in a step-by-step, organised process. Importantly, after the course, participants should be able to understand one of the key skills in business (and life) - negotiations, something that should be a potential a career "game changer" in the future for everyone, especially in cross-cultural situations.
So by the end of the course, students will have improved/expanded their ability to communicate and negotiate well in English – Especially, the ability to negotiate well in cross-cultural and cross-border situations - and a lot of the mystery about how to do well in business negotiation will have been removed.

Interactive participant centered learning -
Business Negotiation will utilize a variety of course learning approaches, from interactive lectures/slides on basic negotiation concepts to participant centered learning through case study discussions on negotiations (7 negotiation cases), "negotiation individual/team role plays", "short negotiation written exercises" and occasional short negotiation videos from online sources. But this will require that students come to class prepared and ready to participate), as the learning really is "learning-by-doing" - meaning this will not be a lecture (one-way) style course.
Learning by doing –
Business negotiation is structured with the learning focus on individual participation, although there will be learning slides to practically explain how to be effective in negotiations to support the skill building process. The main value of the Business Negotiation learning will be many chances to participate in case discussions and various negotiation activities and get some practical feedback/comments. A key ongoing course theme will be how to approach the process of negotiation logically and how to understand the best ways to reach the strategic goals. The course will proceed methodically from focused aspects and key learning tips of negotiations for simple one-on-one negotiations to integrate the pieces in domestic and cross-cultural team negotiations.
Writen Outputs -
1. There will be various short written business negotiation exercises given throughout the course.
2. Starting Day 2, students must submit brief answers to the case questions, before each class
3. After Day 7, there will be a required integrated written final report on business negotiations learning
List of cases -
*Some cases might change before the course starts
「The Xiangyang Market」
「Becca Brothers」
「Case Study: Time to play hardball」
「Take the money – or run」
「Nora Sakari: A proposed joint venture in Malaysia」
「The International Lodging Merger」
「Google and the Government of China」
Some cases might change before the course starts

担当教員のプロフィール About the Instructor
Prof. NIGEL DENSCOMBE
OVERVIEW
Nigel is a “hybrid” businessperson standing at the intersection of two key roles: global manager/owner and business educator. This is why in 2001 he created a Tokyo/New York firm, Denscombe Corporation (www.denscombe.co.jp), to “bridge” business and education by providing strategic management solutions for repositioning/creating sustainable value propositions for corporate clients and business schools, and also by providing management education solutions for them as well.
On one side, he is a truly globalized Tokyo-based British-American high value added management professional with a successful track record of leading positive industry change and finding new value propositions.
At the same time, he is also an accomplished management educator who has created new business schools/repositioned existing ones and who also has taught a wide range of high valueadded management courses for Asian university business schools and corporate clients. In business education, as a management practitioner in the real world, his mission is to put “ business” back into business school and to
foster the global leadership required to take practical advantage of the great changes going on for sustainable corporate value propositions.
Everything Nigel teaches, he does (or has done) in the real world. This gives him a unique learning value proposition because, with his global management track record and wide business education teaching experience, he offers an unparalleled learning experience for all those participating in his management classes.
Before shifting his focus to Asia, Nigel had extensive management/owner experience in North America and Europe, focused on financial services, new business development, innovating markets and new market entry, and strategic planning - corporate strategy, especially restructuring and new value propositions.
