This review explores complex trends in negotiation research, moving beyond simple models to understand real-world interactions. Future studies should offer practical advice for navigating negotiation
Area of Science:
- Social Psychology
- Organizational Behavior
- Conflict Resolution
Background:
- Negotiation scholarship has historically presented effects as monolithic.
- There is a need to examine negotiation in more complex, real-world contexts.
- Understanding the nuances of social interaction is crucial in negotiation studies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify emerging trends in negotiation scholarship.
- To highlight areas where further research is needed.
- To encourage scholarship offering practical advice for negotiation.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of existing negotiation scholarship.
- Identification of trends embracing complexity and social interaction nuances.
- Analysis of negotiation as it occurs in real-world settings.
Main Results:
- Emerging trends show a move towards complexity, identifying moderators of effects.
- Research is increasingly examining the nuances of social interaction in negotiation.
- Negotiation is being studied more frequently in real-world contexts.
Conclusions:
- Negotiation is a rich context for studying human behavior, involving emotions, cooperation-competition dynamics, power, and identity.
- There are gaps in current research, particularly in providing practical advice.
- Future research should continue to explore complexity and real-world applications in negotiation.
