Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C, E

Integrative approach to negotiation used when the interested parties are attempting to create more of something of value to share, also known as collaborative approach or win-win. Integrative, interest-based negotiation can facilitate constructive, positive relationship and establishes contracts between parties on a foundation of goodwill. In integrative bargaining, both parties seek to 'expand the pie' by creating more value for both the buyer and the seller. Integrative negotiation 'shares the pie' and is interest rather than positional based.

In distributive bargaining, the focus is on claiming value and getting as much of the pie as parties can.

Isn't claiming value more about competitive strategies?

Wait, short-term wins? That doesn't sound right for integrative approaches.

I’m a bit confused, but I think short-term wins don’t really fit with integrative approaches, so D should be ruled out.

I feel like I’ve seen questions like this before, and I think claiming value is more about distributive negotiation, so B probably isn’t right.

I'm a little confused by this question. The integrative approach is supposed to be collaborative, but some of these options like A and B sound more competitive. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I understand the key characteristics.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The integrative approach is supposed to be different from the positional approach, but I'm not sure if that means A and B are wrong. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm with the crowd on this one. C and E are the way to go. Although, I do wonder if the exam board has a sense of humor. Maybe they'll throw in a trick question just for kicks.
