  • Experimental Methods for Management decisions

    In today's business environment, managers often face decisions under uncertainty, from launching new products to implementing business models. Rather than relying on intuition or outdated information, this course teaches a scientific approach to decision-making. Students learn how to design experiments, collect high-quality data, and use statistical analysis to make better management decisions. The course covers experimental design principles, hypothesis testing, and data analysis tools specifically tailored for business contexts. Practical applications include market testing, operational improvements, and strategic planning. Additionally, students develop skills in scientific communication valuable for both academic work and business presentations.

  • Advanced Management Principles: Negotiation

    This course explores the theory and practice of negotiation, blending decision analysis frameworks with strategic game theory. Students learn to assess key negotiation elements including interests, alternatives, and power dynamics while developing practical skills in both distributive and integrative bargaining. The course emphasizes principled negotiation approaches that create sustainable agreements through objective criteria and mutual gains, while examining how negotiator behavior and relationships influence outcomes. Through theoretical models and real-world applications, students develop a comprehensive understanding of effective negotiation strategies in various contexts.
