I expected this to be the least interesting module in the "Negotiation, Mediation and Conflict Resolution" specialization. It turned out to be exactly the contrary. It gave me a lot of insights and made me to look into some results of the field (e.g. Hofstede's) a bit more in detail in my free time.

Absolutely recommended!

It seems that this course will be valuable for several main reasons: it will deliver new insights, good reference materials for those interested in self-studies, sense of thoughtful question-building and opportunity for questioning others in case of need through the discussion forum. Many thanks to the tutor for his way of delivering content of the course in very easy and well-structured way. I am glad I got certificate of completion!

This is a great introductory course for all the things you have to look out for as well as analyze in an international setting! I'm sure it will help me a lot in the future.

When i started the course, i tought it would'nt be that much informative, but i had an amazing surprise. I've learned a lot, the course is really great.

This course adequately prepares a Negotiator for multi cultural negotiation and a balanced everyday human interaction. I highly recommend it.

It is very hard to get a reply of the teachers on the forums. It is also very hard to get the grade to then obtain the certificate.

Very insightful, I learnt lots of new information to help me better in my cultural interactions. Strongly recommend everyone takes this course, it helps us understand each other better.

This course gives a really detailed overview in how far cultures differ in their negotiation behaviour. It also mentions useful approaches in how to deal with these differences.

Has no one taught them or assisted the profs how to do Powerpoint slides?

Great videos! Complex issues clearly presented. The questions of the tests are not always formulated correctly. There are different options and not only "black & white".

An amazing course on cross cultural dimension in negotiations. You will learn different attitude of a huge numbers of civilization in the world. Expecially France, China, Italy, Middle East and US. The reviewing with other students is a great moment because you can apply and discover cultures of the others and explain something about your nation. Essec is always a greet University. I'm following all the Negotiation specialization, this course is the easier one if you are a beginner.

This course is very beneficial for everyone sseking to strengthen his negotiation and conflict resolution skills wither locally or internationally. The contents , which are well gathered and presented, are applicable on all spheres wher it be business, community or conflict management sphere. Thanks alot to the high rank instructors,Essec Business School and Coursera for enhancing our knowledge and developing our characters.

The course was definitely interesting and I learned a lot about culture. I did do independent review on Geert Hofstede (Cutlural Dimensions) and that provided more cultural insight. I read more on the values that were discussed on the course videos to gain more clarity.

Un curso muy interesante y bastante claro sobre todo para aquellos que estudian diplomacia o relaciones internacionales. De todas maneras, el curso se puede aplicar a diferentes ámbitos donde se requiera una negociación con personas de otras culturas.

I found really interesting and helpful to interpret a negotitian from a different point of view: cultural impact on the negotiation needs to be examinated to be successful and to achieve your company goals. Contents really well presented.

Very good course! Insightful and well conducted. I would recommend to provide some additional materials (papers, web links etc.) for those learners who want to get deeper into the topics. However, wonderful experience! Thank you so much!

very interesting and very well structured. I appreciated the clearness and the attention to always remain objective, giving valuable information and ideas on the various cultures and at the same time warning not to fall into stereotypes

A very useful course. I thinks this could be an interesting choice for a beginner, or even a useful "intensive seminar" for a negotiator how want to approach the cross cultural negotiation with a higher awareness.

Original and well approached course on cultural aspects influencing negotiation. I recognised concepts which I learnt in the past from my direct experience and it helped me to systematize and broaden such aspects.

Very interesting course. Very enlightening to be able to discover negotiation styles and values from colleagues from the most diverse cultures. These exchanges would have been impossible in a presencial course.

Un cours très intéressant ! Il montre bien la complexité des échanges humains dans une négociation nationale ou internationale en fonction de sa culture d'orgine et malgré un monde de plus en plus globalisé.

It is really an excellent course. Although I already had several courses on negociation in general, this course gives more insights on the cultural factors that have to be considered before any negociation.

How to communicate and negotiate with another culture avoiding clcihé and steretoypes, it was just fascinating and essential learning, very high quality from the whole Teacher's team! thank you

Very interesting and educational as an insight into other cultures and how to manage them. Also, a very helpful curse to evaluate oneself in any social cross-cultural situation.

Loved it. Very insightful, without giving too much information, simply some guidelines and tools to help you when going into an international negotiation. Thanks for this!
