I teach in the B.Comm, MBA, and Executive Education programs at Asper School of Business, where I have received the Associates’ Achievement Award for Teaching, the University of Manitoba Merit Award for Teaching, the CSA Golden Shovel, and the Reg Litz MBA Luminary Teaching Award.

I teach the following courses in the Asper School’s degree programs:

  • Managing People in Organizations (MBA)
  • Organizational Theory and Organizational Behaviour (MBA)
  • Negotiation (MBA, B.Comm)
  • Introduction to Organizational Behaviour (B.Comm)
  • Special Topics in Conflict Management (Ph.D/M.Sc.)
  • Special Topics in Leadership (M.Sc./MBA)

My free-to-use classroom teaching cases for instructional purposes include:

I have a number of classroom negotiation simulations, including cases allowing students to practice (1) logrolling, (2) multi-issue logrolling with asymmetrical payoffs, (3) group decision-making, and (4) informal mediation. I also have an adapted and expanded exercise based roughly on the mechanics of Ugli Orange that I have found useful as an introductory exercise, and an introductory exercise set in a sales context that requires integration to solve a negative distributive bargaining zone. To preserve the value of these exercises, I share them only with negotiation instructors upon request (email lukas.neville@umanitoba.ca), and ask that they not be publicly posted.

I also facilitate a number of Executive Education programs, including:

  • Advanced Program in Management, Leadership and Strategy (leading change, leading through influence)
  • Rotman-ICD Directors Education Program (‘Managing Difficult Conversations in the Boardroom’)
  • Open-enrolment (conflict resolution, negotiations, leadership)

I have taught custom programs in decision-making, conflict management, and leadership for a range of audiences, including insurance, retail, telecommunications, and health care.  For custom workshops or other training inquiries, please contact Asper’s Director of Executive Education, at execedinfo@umanitoba.ca.
