This chapter presents a case study of a module of a course within a tertiary education curriculum at the Institute of Economics and Management and is chosen to illustrate the way the learning cycle developed by Kolb is used to teach negotiation skills to entrepreneurs. The course is based on two assumptions:
-
1.
Negotiation skills rely largely on (stable) personality traits (extroversion, flexibility, conciliatory manner).
-
2.
Effectiveness of adult education depends on many aspects, e.g. on class structure as defined by Kolb (Rosiński and Rychlicka 2001). This is a widely recognized observation (see e.g. Senge et al. 2002).
