About OPEQ Negotiations Simulation

The exercise highlights the role of accountability, comparisons, and communication in promoting (and inhibiting) trust and cooperation. Through the exercise, participants make a series of decisions and have the opportunity to send messages.

The interface provides real-time graphs and tables that include message displays. The exercise is both ready to use and easy to tailor to focus on specific lessons (e.g., negotiation or economic principles).

With a comprehensive Instructor Toolkit, instructors decide which lessons to highlight in their debrief. The Toolkit provides a teaching note, video, and debrief instructions, and explains how the simulation can be tailored to focus on economics or negotiation lessons.
