Bargaining in E-Business Systems.

Despite the fact that bargaining plays an important role in business communications, it is almost completely neglected in e-business systems. In this paper we make an attempt to integrate bargaining into web-based e-business systems. We characterise the bargaining process and place it into the co-design approach for the design of web information systems. Then we outline how game-theoretic concepts can be used to develop a conceptual model for bargaining. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
