The world economic forum established negotiation as one of the ten most important practical skills to have in 2020 (WEF, 2016). However, a search of titles from one of the top negotiation journals during the past 5 years yielded no papers that included practice in the title. Moreover, a Google Scholar search with the keywords negotiation and conflict and practice in the title, only yields 27 results, and 3 results if the search is limited to the past 5 years. This suggests that academics may need to consider lessons from practice as valuable for advancing negotiation theory. Nonetheless, practitioners often consult with academics for advice on conflict and negotiations. Practice can be a resource for investigating the limits of current negotiation and conflict management theories. Practice can also help academics engage in a reality-check process that contributes to our understanding of the phenomenon. This issue is intended to bring various types of practices closer to ongoing and planned research.  

 

The call for papers is focused on contributions from practice to current negotiation/ conflict management theory and research as well as from research to practice. Collaborations between researchers and practitioners are strongly recommended. We encourage various formats including full papers on the research-practice nexus, papers devoted primarily to practice with examples that are valuable for researchers, and case studies based on observations or interviews. All the submissions should respond the following questions:

  • What are practitioners doing that is being overlooked by research? What are some unique contributions offered by particular types of practice?
  • How does this paper build a bridge between theory and practice?
  • How does this paper extend current negotiation theory or research?
