Discover why people and organisations behave the way they do in competitive situations and come to understand the broad spectrum of negotiation problems faced by managers and professionals in a global context.

Critically explore the changing notions of leadership in today's global business environment.

You will develop new insights about your own leadership capabilities and learn how to influence and lead with more impact through the experiential processes of the class.

As we form judgments and make decisions, we fall prey to predictable and consistent errors that can impact the quality of our decisions and escalate conflict.

Learn the tried and true remedies and the newer methods that can be applied to mitigate your errors in judgment and improve your overall managerial and leadership style.

Acquire the analytical skills to identify, diagnose and solve people-related challenges in organisations.

You will use tools to examine different theoretical concepts and perspectives that underlie behaviour to improve organisational, group and individual outcomes in a practical manner.

Hear from CFOs and look through their eyes on the big financial questions facing firms to discover how finance supports but also constrains strategy.

At its essence, marketing and business more broadly is an attempt to influence consumer behaviour.

Discover how to use insights from behavioural economics, psychology, sociology, and anthropology to understand and predict consumer behaviour, using behavioural science to maximise marketing impact.

Leaders need to make decisions regarding firm boundaries and capital allocation, which require decisive rules for expansion and divestments.
