Course Description
Strategic managers require holistic competencies to succeed in today’s complex and challenging business environment. It is the art of war without weapons ‘Strategy’; Indeed, it is a complex process with a better understanding of the blueprint it is simple, as such managers who have successful strategies are in control of their internal and external business environments. Most importantly, possess the competence to respond effectively to change and compete successfully in the domestic and global marketplaces when the needs arise.
Most strategy implementations often require the ability to influence negotiation positively. However, negotiation is not litigation, and neither is it war in the business context. Negotiation in this case is not about achieving total success for the organisation.

Besides, negotiation and conflict management competencies are essential for managers’ success and they are the most sought-after skill sets for organizations.
