New experiments in eNego system

In January 2019 a new experiment in eNego system is going to be organized. The eNego system is an electronic negotiation system designed for supporting bilateral negotiations according to the negotiation protocol recommended by the modern theory of negotiation analysis. Such a protocol allows supporting the negotiators at each of the negotiation phases.
We encourage everybody who is interested in electronic negotiations and negotiation support to register to the forthcoming experiments. Participation in the eNego simulation gives you an opportunity to learn how the contemporary science of negotiation contributes to the support of the negotiation activities of the negotiator in bilateral negotiations.
If you wish to participate in the experiment, contact the experiment coordinator by email before December 31, 2018 at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

In 2019 the conference will be organized as a joint event together with the meeting of EURO Working Group on Behavioral Operational Research. As usually, the N.EA team will co-organize a stream of sessions entitled: "Preference analysis and decision support in group decision and negotiation". This will include a session devoted to the N.EA team current research focus, which is the behavioral and cognitive limitations in preference analysis during the pre-negotiation phase, e.g.:
- Roszkowska, Wachowicz: "Decision making profile and the expectations towards the preference representation in decision support systems",
- Wachowicz, Roszkowska: "Self-serving bias when using decision support system".

The N.EA team: Tomas Wachowicz (University of Economics in Katowice, Gregory Kersten (Concordia University) and Ewa Roszkowska (University of Bialystok) has won 2018 GDN Sproinger Best Paper Award (Runner Up) for its paper entitled "Some Methodological Considerations for the Organization and Analysis of Inter- and Intra-cultural Negotiation Experiments”, presented during the Group Decision and Negotiation 2018 conference (June 9-13, Nanjing, China).
The paper reports the recent research of N.EA team conducted within the research project supported by Polish National Science Center (project number 2016/21/B/HS4/01583) entitled „Supporting bilateral negotiations including the effect of heuristic based thinking and cognitive limitations of negotiators”, in which the N.EA coordinator, prof. Tomasz Wachowicz is one of the principal investigators. In the paper some cognitive limitations and typical errors were analyzed, that may occur during planning, organizing and analyzing the results of bilateral negotiation experiments. Some factors influencing the results are discussed, the interpretation of which is not so evident as may appear while designing such an experiment. Among others, the notions of various levels of culture is discussed, such as national culture, organizational culture and students group culture. Some external factors are also discussed, that are related to the technical issues of organizing the experiments by different teachers or coordinators, such as individual instructions ad the language in which they are communicated, personality of the instructor, university customs and regulations etc.
