The InterNeg Mission

The InterNeg site is a source of, and repository for, negotiation-related resources comprehensively covering topics in negotiation and negotiation support in the international arena. We aim to build a virtual organization bringing together people, studies, services, systems and information concerned with negotiation.

Mission

Our mission is to develop the best and most comprehensive Web site for and about negotiation, by:

developing and providing negotiation tools and aids, course materials, knowledge and expertise;
promoting sound methods and techniques for conducting and studying negotiations;
facilitating negotiations around the world; and
fostering cooperation between practitioners, researchers, teachers and students.

Objectives

In order to fulfil our mission we must accomplish the following objectives:
design and implement negotiation support system systems which integrate support aids with easy and rapid communication facilities. One such system is INSPIRE - the InterNeg Support Program for Intercultural Research Experiments. Another is INSS - the InterNeg Support System;
establish an international network of collaborators to help develop, test and deploy negotiation support systems. This objective includes joint research and training, development of teaching materials and sharing information resources;
research intercultural and intracultural negotiations and the effects of culture on the negotiation support. Provide access to literature and bibliographies on negotiations, cross-cultural studies and related topics;
provide teaching and training tools and materials on all levels of expertise and increase users' effectiveness in negotiations around the world;
design software systems for human and machine negotiation, including negotiating software agents, agents for preference elicitation and formulation, process assessment and opponent evaluation; and
design software for development of courseware on the Web.
