Description

Addresses classic and contemporary research in trust, emotion, ethics, and morality as these factors shape negotiation and decision making.  In addition to abundant reading, expert researchers from around the country will enrich the curriculum through guest lectures.  Students enrolled in the course will have the opportunity to interact with the expert speakers and learn about current research. Students will develop research proposals that integrate the current scientific literature with the student’s own interests.  An extensive process of feedback will help students prepare high-quality proposals. 

The course is open to Harvard doctoral students.  It is also open to others with the approval of the instructor.  This course is designed to be Part I of a two-part series on judgment and decision making (Part II will be taught in the Spring by Professor Max Bazerman, HBS).
