Conflict Management CM

Hi All

Law schools have negotiation competitions for their students. For example, the American Bar Association holds regional, national, and international competitions. There is an interest among our colleagues in exploring an initiative for negotiation competitions at business schools.  There is some support for this idea.  What is needed to move forward is someone who would be willing to explore the interest and viability of this idea more broadly.  Exploring might mean 1) setting up a panel to come up with some proposed rules and procedures and addressing how to balance quantitative vs qualitative outcomes; 2) surveying to see if, given a clear idea of what such a thing would look like, the interest might be; 3) if interest, trying some pilots within schools before even thinking about rolling out regional national or international competitions. To learn more and to express your interest in leading an exploration for negotiation competitions at business schools, please contact Jeanne Brett (jmbrett@kellogg.northwestern.edu).

Hope your summer is going well

Thank you

Michael
