scope:
The idea
underlying the journal, Group Decision and Negotiation, emerges from evolving,
unifying approaches to group decision and negotiation processes. These
processes are complex and self-organizing involving multiplayer, multicriteria,
ill-structured, evolving, dynamic problems. Approaches include (1) computer group
decision and negotiation support systems (GDNSS), (2) artificial intelligence
and management science, (3) applied game theory, experiment and social choice,
and (4) cognitive/behavioral sciences in group decision and negotiation. A
number of research studies combine two or more of these fields. The journal
provides a publication vehicle for theoretical and empirical research, and
real-world applications and case studies.
In
defining the domain of group decision and negotiation, the term `group' is interpreted
to comprise all multiplayer contexts. Thus, organizational decision support
systems providing organization-wide support are included. Group decision and
negotiation refers to the whole process or flow of activities relevant to group
decision and negotiation, not only to the final choice itself, e.g. scanning,
communication and information sharing, problem definition (representation) and
evolution, alternative generation and social-emotional interaction.
Descriptive, normative and design viewpoints are of interest. Thus, Group
Decision and Negotiation deals broadly with relation and coordination in group
processes. Areas of application include intraorganizational coordination (as in
operations management and integrated design, production, finance, marketing and
distribution, e.g. as in new products and global coordination), computer
supported collaborative work, labor-management negotiations,
interorganizational negotiations, (business, government and nonprofits -- e.g.
joint ventures), international (intercultural) negotiations, environmental
negotiations, etc.
The
journal also covers developments of software for group decision and
negotiation.
