Innovative aspects in negotiation research

In recent years, it has become increasingly important to be successful in negotiations for instance because of increasing globalisation pressures or the reduction of hierarchies in organisations. Moreover, success in negotiations is no longer restricted to the economic aspect, but the relationship between the negotiation parties and outcome satisfaction now also play a big role.

To address these recent developments, our research investigates the following questions:

  • Which strategies can negotiation parties apply to achieve outcomes that are equally satisfying from both an economic and a social perspective?
  • How do optimal social negotiation outcomes come about?
  • How are negotiating teams optimally used and instructed to allow for the achievement of optimal negotiation outcomes?
