A new course on "Negotiation and mediation" was given by professor Tomasz Wachowicz at Agriculture University of Tirane (Albania) from May 13th to 17th. A course, conducted within the Erasmus+ program, was conducted at Faculty of Economics for the students majoring in Computer Science. It consisted of both activating lectures devoted to formal and behavioral aspects of negotiation, negotiation preparation and negotiation support; and computer laboratories, in which the electronic negotiation experiment was conducted in the eNego support system (https://web.ue.katowice.pl/enego/). For Tirane experiment, eNego system was purposefully redesigned and equipped with control modules allowing to use it in a real-time negotiations. N.EA team is deeply grateful to Michał Kuchmacz, who was responsible for recording eNego control moduels within really short deadlines.

Today, in the online first option, the latest paper of the N.EA team was published in Operational Research. International Journal (IF = 1,816). The paper, entitled: "How do I tell you what I want? Agent’s interpretation of the principal’s preferences and its impact on understanding the negotiation process and outcomes", discusses an issue of representative negotiations conducted by agents for their principals.

In the manuscript, Tomasz Wachowicz, Gregory Kersten and Ewa Roszkowska are analyzing an impact of the way the preference information is imparted by principals to their agents, on the quality of the prenegotiation preparation conducted by the latter. Furthermore, the effects of such preparation on the understanding of the negotiation process, its dynamics, and the outcome is analyzed.

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.
