Cw. Holsapple et al., IMPLICATIONS OF NEGOTIATION THEORY FOR RESEARCH-AND-DEVELOPMENT OF NEGOTIATION SUPPORT SYSTEMS, Group decision and negotiation, 6(3), 1997, pp. 255-274
This paper summarizes a parametric theory of negotiation as a basis fo
r shedding light on negotiation support system possibilities. Previous
ly the theory has been used to analyze prior research accomplishments
in the area of negotiation support systems. Here, we discuss implicati
ons of the theory that are relevant for future research and developmen
t of negotiation support systems. The implications are concerned with
three topics: a high-level generic characterization of these systems,
an identification of their possible support functions, and a taxonomy
for classifying such systems.
