This program aims to improve negotiation skills for executives through a simulation game called "The Monopoly of Negotiation". The 6-hour program will involve high-level executives negotiating property prices in two rounds of the game. Between rounds, participants will discuss topics like emotional intelligence, conflict management, and cross-cultural communication. Specific needs like language barriers and time limits will be addressed through lessons on technical terms, cultural sensitivity, and setting negotiation time frames. Participants can apply their learning by sharing experiences and strategizing within the parameters of the simulation game.
