From complicated negotiation strategies to artful subterfuge, conflict resolution games are one of the very best ways to prepare for the challenges of real-world negotiation. Games that employ a Prisoner’s Dilemma structure (where rational parties may not cooperate despite their best interests) enable participants to analyze negotiations, make strategic decisions, and anticipate their counterpart’s next move.
Drawing on a wide-range of disciplines including game theory, microeconomics, social psychology, behavior economics, and management science, the Program on Negotiation has developed a wide range of conflict resolution games, made available through the Teaching Negotiation Resource Center (TNRC).
Two of the TNRCs most useful conflict resolution games are Win as Much as You Can and Multimode, Inc.
