What is the answer when human-driven e-business process negotiation (eBPN), specifically, becomes a necessity? Workflow research already specifies certain tools that allow collaborative design of workflow models by multiple parties. But this paper goes beyond this to describe how peculiar decision-support demands also arise for the negotiation of the other, more \"general\", terms of such an eBPN contract. It also shows how existing e-negotiation tools lack holistic support for the interplay between \"workflow-specific\" and \"general\" strategy. Given this critical gap, this paper presents the \"general\" strategy-support (GSS) segment of our wider project: \"Soft E-business Process Negotiation Approach\" (SEPNA). Novel use of multi-criteria decision-making methods in the workflow composition domain and holistic support of the general strategy-support requirements combine as two of its key distinctions vis-\u00e0-vis alternative approaches. It specifies re-usable design prescriptions to address this gap, formalized primarily as an object model. Technical feasibility and contribution significance are shown by executing a set of previously unsupported eBPN scenarios on a prototype implementation of these prescriptions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218843010002127","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,28]],"date-time":"2010-12-28T10:27:42Z","timestamp":1293532062000},"page":"121-157","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["GENERAL STRATEGY SUPPORT IN SOFT E-BUSINESS PROCESS NEGOTIATION"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"SHAZIB E.","family":"SHAIKH","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Suleman Dawood School of Business, Lahore University of Management Sciences, Sector 'U', DHA Lahore Cantt, 54792, Pakistan"}]},{"given":"NIKOLAY","family":"MEHANDJIEV","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester, Booth Street West Manchester M15 6PB, UK"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/4434.788776"},{"key":"rf2","first-page":"277","volume":"5","author":"Grefen P.","journal-title":"Int.
