Replicating Hofstede´s Cultured Negotiation: A First Update

Hofstede et al. cultured negotiating agents simulation produced realistic behavior by incorporating Hofstede´s dimensional model of culture in the agent´s negotiation protocol and overall behavior. Given such a promising model to generate actual human-like behavior in artificial agents, and the lack of sound and well accepted replication methodologies, we reviewed our original replication research: the parameters sensitivity test replication, a new real countries indices simulation replication, the roadblocks encountered during the process and the suggestions in order to avoid such obstacles. New results continue to show a relational equivalence.
