Michael A. Wheeler (born July 25, 1943) has taught negotiation at Harvard Business School in its MBA program, executive courses, and, more recently, its digital learning platform HBX.

He earned a BA in American Studies from Amherst College, a JD from Boston University, and an LLM in Public Policy Analysis from Harvard Law School.

[5] He is currently co-director of the Pedagogy Initiative at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School,[3] and Senior Advisor for Teaching Innovation at the Consensus Building Institute (where he was previously a founding board member and chairman).

His teaching materials (including simulations, case studies, videos, and computer-based exercises)[1] are used in business schools and professional programs throughout the United States and other countries.

In February 2017, Harvard Business School's HBX distance learning platform launched Wheeler's online course Negotiation Mastery: Unlocking Value in the Real World.

He steers readers toward making wise decisions about whether or not to pursue a negotiation in the first place, conducting sufficient research, keeping their cool, and closing the deal.
