SAVE THE DATE: Beyond Cheap Talk: Productive Conversations in Bargaining and Problem-Solving, with Professor Daniel Ames
Thursday, December 5
Description: Columbia Business School alumni and guests are cordially invited to an event featuring Professor Daniel Ames, Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Professor of Business. Professor Ames will discuss 'Beyond Cheap Talk: Productive Conversations in Bargaining and Problem-Solving,' offering practical advice based on the latest research from scholars at Columbia Business School. Professor Ames leads the School's negotiations curriculum which trains nearly 1,000 MBA and EMBA students a year using simulations and roleplay activities. More information on Professor Ames' research and media presence can be found on the School's website.
Bio: Daniel Ames (Ph.D.) is the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Professor of Business in the Management Division at Columbia Business School, where he leads the School’s curriculum on negotiation. He is also the co-director of Columbia Business School’s Leadership Lab, which supports leadership development within and beyond the MBA curriculum.
A social and personality psychologist, Daniel earned his doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley. His research revolves around how people perceive and interact with one another. He studies how people fight and cooperate, how people form impressions and bond, and how people read one another’s minds—or fail to. His work appears in scholarly outlets in psychology and organizational behavior and has been covered by media outlets ranging from The New York Times to Scientific American to Forbes.
At Columbia, Daniel is an award-winning instructor, teaching popular courses and workshops on topics including leadership, decision making, negotiations, and conflict.
