Sumario:[EN] This paper explores the application of Playmobil Pro in negotiation with suppliers as an active learning methodology activity. This paper focuses on the effective communication soft skill, and it is applied in the Purchasing subject of the Master's Degree in Organizational and Logistics Engineering. To this extent, the authors propose the use of Playmobil Pro gamification tool to specifically deal with the supplier negotiation phase within the purchasing process. Playmobil Pro allows to work with metaphors to get to know the expectations of the participants. In this case study, Playmobil Pro will allow the students, that acquire the role of buyers, to deeply understand the behavior of the opposite negotiator, the supplier. The gamification workshop will enable to analyse the buyer and supplier behavior, and to extract conclusions to make decisions in the process of negotiation. Thus, the students will define negotiation strategies and how to approach them from the perspective of the purchasing company, taking as a starting point the knowledge of the of the supplier negotiation profile offered by the Playmobil- Pro methodology.
