Abstract
This paper deals with a specific aspect of the problem of coalition formation in a situation described by a TU-game. First, we define a very simple normal form game which models the process of coalition formation. To define the payoff functions of the players we use an allocation rule for TU-games. The main objective of this paper is ascertain what conditions of the allocation rule lead to the grand coalition being a strong equilibrium of the normal form game, when the original TU-game is convex.
