Does gender matter in negotiation?
The rol of gender in the mutual gains approach in negotiation and mediation
Hannah Riley Bowles & Barbara Oliveira
Monday December 9, 2024 – from 19.30 to 20.30 (1:30-2:30 pm EST)
How do gender stereotypes influence negotiation behaviors and outcomes? Do genders have markedly different negotiation styles? And does one gender have advantages over the other in negotiation settings? Under what specific conditions is gender a critical factor? And what are strategies to mitigate these effects? The Program On Negotiation recently mentioned that according to a recent study the strength of our negotiation ethics may vary depending on our gender. Gender’s impact on negotiation behavior and outcomes is not uniform but varies significantly across different situations. The article triggered our proposal to organize a webinar on the the issues related to the gender question, focused on the role and position of women in negotiation and mediation. We are very proud to announce Hannah Riley Bowles of Harvard Kennedy School, a leading expert on gender in negotiation, as our speaker. She will be interviewed by Barbara Oliveira.
