Why is it important?

This symbiotic framework is both descriptive in its predictive capacity to simulate the complexity of non-linear negotiation environment, and prescriptive in its directive capacity to guide negotiators’ plan of action given each other’s observed behavior with a probability estimation.

Perspectives

I had the original ideas of this dynamic relationality back to 2012 and then five years passed by until I was able to numerically capture this idea through a symbiotic perspective borrowing mature concepts from biological science. It was a pleasant intellectual experience along the process of publishing this article as the final outcome has absorbed interesting views coming from reviewers and colleagues while the core point stayed unique.
