The Effects of Culture in Anonymous Negotiations: Experiment in Four Countries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internet technologies are increasingly used in various forms of communication, including negotiations. This paper explores the cultural implications in anonymous interand intra-cultural electronic negotiations. The negotiations were conducted via Inspire, a Web-based negotiation support system, and involved 166 subjects from Austria, Ecuador, Finland, and Switzerland. Hypotheses are formulated concerning the influence of cultural differences on negotiators ex ante expectations concerning the negotiations and their outcomes, the negotiation atmosphere and the negotiation process. The results confirm considerable, cultural differences in both expectations and process, and only weak ones in atmosphere.
