Best Practices in Negotiation Management 1.2 CEU Everyone negotiates, but some are better at this vital skill than others by virtue of training and experience. Those who excel are more likely to set and reach ambitious goals, apply for and get better jobs, gain higher compensation, earn larger raises, and receive more recognition, while benefiting their companies by interacting more effectively with customers, vendors, management, and colleagues. Participants learn the best techniques for striking better bargains, making lasting agreements, and sustaining positive relationships, as well as learning to recognize and counter the tactics of their counterparts while pursuing their agendas and requirements more effectively and smoothly. Equally important, students learn to become more savvy consumers in critical negotiating scenarios, including buying, selling, and financing cars and housing, as well as other big ticket situations.

This course explores, on the one hand, the rational, analytical approach to investing, including the efficiency of markets, the factors of risk in markets and the leading models used in the design of portfolios. On the other hand, the course also explores in detail many of the most important behavioral biases that stand in the way of investors making smart decision with their money. Intended for individual investors and financial professionals, the course borrows from numerous real client cases and will address the ultimate question of designing portfolios.

Economic Development and Nation Building in Native America m X American Indian Studies 4 units Economic development is a critical challenge across Native America. On many reservations, employment opportunities are scarce, reliance on public assistance is high, and the local economy is weak. Yet on other reservations, tribes have established thriving Indianowned ventures and built economies that generate employment and income even beyond the borders of their reservations. While some of the variation in economic performance can be explained by underlying levels of natural resources, human capital, and other internal factors, research has shown that tribes with strong and capable institutions of self-government, a long-term vision for their economies, and a purposeful regard for matching business initiatives to their tribal culture enjoy significantly improved chances of economic success. This course examines several realworld case studies of economic development strategies and projects from across Indian country and evaluates the factors that contribute to their success and failure. Instruction advocates a nation-building approach to economic development a view which acknowledges that developing a vibrant economy is as much a political, cultural, and social challenge as it is an economic one. Given the heterogeneity of Native cultures and the circumstances in which they are located, no one solution will work in all settings. Instead, this course seeks to equip current and future leaders with the skills to think analytically about economic development strategies in their respective cultural contexts.

Sport is universal: people love attending sporting matches, supporting their local teams and participating in sport themselves. As the popularity of sport continues to grow, sport teams, organizations and suppliers are constantly seeking opportunities for expansion. As this is the case, there are more employment opportunities in the sport sector than ever before and it is essential to have a general understanding of the industry, key business theories and current opportunities so that qualified candidates can join this exclusive industry.
