A short introduction to the NCW and its global vision.
Why This Page?
We have created this page as a dedicated space for our growing network of volunteers, educators, and collaborators who are helping to expand the reach and impact of the NCW. Here, you will find important information about our materials, how we work, and how you can contribute.
Content Development and Collaboration
The NCW is a continuously evolving, collaborative project. All materials—including teaching notes, slides, class plans, and case studies—are part of an ongoing effort to expand and refine negotiation education for global audiences.
Translations have been generated using AI-powered machine translation and are undergoing human proofreading to enhance clarity, accuracy, and cultural relevance. While we strive for quality, both translated and original English materials are still being improved and may not yet reflect final publication standards.
We are also developing simplified versions of NCW, including a non-MBA track and a high school edition, to broaden accessibility across educational levels and learning environments.
Your feedback plays a vital role in this process. We warmly invite you to share your suggestions and insights as you engage with the materials. Your contributions will be recognised and help us strengthen the quality, relevance, and global impact of NCW.
