Abstract

Using the negotiation exercise"Win As Much As You Can," I look at the ways that cultural value patterns and western-based assumptions about "how to negotiate" affect how students negotiate and respond to the exercise. I then suggest ways that teachers can create more culturally inclusive classrooms by discussing and educating students about these assumptions.

Keywords: negotiation, culture, "Win As Much As You Can", "prisoner's dilemma", cultural values
