On October 20th I’ll be kicking off a four-week basic course on Negotiation: Navigating Professional and Personal Interactions. 

The unique thing about this…

As more and more teachers in the area of negotiation and dispute resolution consider taking their courses (or, parts of them) online, I’ve received many queries of the “How do you get started?” variety. And, I’m not the only one fielding these questions. I'd like to share a resource, addressing these questions.

Together with co –presenters and –authors Jennifer Parlamis (University of San Francisco), Roy Lewicki (Ohio State University) and…

I’d like to share a simulation I’ve  recently written with co-authors Yael Efron and Nellie Munin: FlashPoint: Syria, 2014.

FlashPoint is a simulation-game constructed as a teaching-tool for the topics of conflict analysis and resolution, collaboration, negotiation, mediation and public international law – or any…

At the ABA's DR conference in Miami, an initiative that had started the previous year turned into a tradition: Several dozen teachers offered each other use of their teaching materials to enhance each others' classrooms. It was such a wonderful environment to be in, and offered a great packet of take-aways for teachers. Below, is a write up of the materials shared, complete with links you can use to access them if these were available. Also see the…

The Pasta Wars, our Prisoner’s Dilemma simulation-game, will be appearing in one of the negotiation field’s leading teaching books: NEGOTIATION: READINGS, EXERCISES, AND CASES (edited by Roy Lewicki, Bruce Barry, and David Saunders), soon to come out in a 7^th edition.

The 6^th edition included the AuraCall and Live8 simulations, which many of you out there have had the pleasure (?) of experiencing – they’ll be…

Just about anybody who has ever studied or trained with me has had the experience of engaging in The Pasta Wars, a Prisoner’s Dilemma simulation-game I developed with Yifat Winkler.  Thank you all for helping us perfect it!

For all those of you who are now teachers or trainers yourselves – I’ve uploaded the game, complete with a…

 Simulation-games? Not as simple as you thought. If you teach mediation, negotiation or other related topics, you’re going to want to read this.

Sometimes, conducting research leads you to…

Way back in 2008, Dan Druckman and I began to explore an issue that had tickled each of us – separately – for a long time:

Students participating in simulation-games seem to learn a lot about negotiation, but we had the feeling that people writing simulation games (including ourselves) learned even more. We conducted several rounds of experiments aimed at exploring this notion – with some very surprising findings.

An article summarizing our full findings will be…

Negotiation teacher? Mediation trainer? If so, you certainly use simulation-games in your work, often. interested in knowing how effective they are? Want ideas for improving them - or replacing them with new teaching activities?

 I just posted a new / old paper, one which really kicked off my own constant engagement with this topic, on SSRN. Thank you, co-author Yael Efron!  Check it out @ http://ssrn.com/abstract=1292594
