There is no need for any outside research. Do not include any research on negotiation skills or techniques other than from class materials and the readings provided. The goal of this paper is for you to demonstrate a depth and breadth of knowledge of the negotiation techniques applicable in situations involving difficult conversations and to analyze the differences between how women and men negotiate, including the potential reasons for those differences.
Use the course materials to inform, explain and illuminate your analysis of the conversation and of sex differences in negotiations. The purpose of the assignment is to demonstrate that you have read, heard, understood and can apply the course materials to both topics. Make sure to incorporate a significant number of course materials into the paper. Refer to particular discussions and exercises. Demonstrate intellectual depth by going beyond repetition to explain significance, to draw connections, to illustrate, to integrate.
