Negotiation or Auction? The NorA project Joint Research Project Eva Chen, Bo Yu and Klaus Kolitz Dagstuhl Seminar, November 12th to 17th , 2006
How? and platforms • What? Economic and IS variables TIMES framework Background • NorA Project • Debate between InterNeg (Montreal, Canada) and IISM (Karlsruhe, Germany) on the merits of negotiation and auctions You don’t know until you test it
Research Objective • Comparison Study • Negotiation and auction • IS and economic philosophies of system design • Empirical test • TIMES model (mechanism and system) • Prescribe a fit • Task, Individual, Mechanism, Environment and System
Example: best feasible solution: 40 Task • Contract (artist with 3 entertainment company) • 4 issues with 750 alternatives • Different preferences and surplus Theoretical winner Artist EnterMusic 45 2 46 1 47 6 49 0 49 2 Three music companies WorldMusic (Mosico): 40 UniMusic (Uli): 45 EnterMusic (Cory): 49 * theoretical winner
Individual • Background information • Conflict style • Efficacy • about 600 participants • undergraduate business students
Mechanism Multi-attribute English Auction Multi-attribute Multi-bilateral Negotiation Reward: Class bonus + Win 5 internships at our Research Centre
Environment • Laboratory (2 rooms) • Computer-mediated interaction • 20 minutes for Auction & 1 hour for Negotiation
Information System Perspective A software platform for generation of ENSs Separation of control from other components Protocols – blueprints Separation of computation from presentation and interaction Interface testing Services System:
System: • Economic perspective • A software platform for generation of Auctions • Parameter specification • MML – generate auction • Separation of computation from presentation and interaction • Interface • Mechanism
Treatment and Workflow Imbis Mechanisms InAuction Systems
Preliminary Results Does the system matter?
