Group Decision and Negotiation

Aims & 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.
