“Intentional Excellence: Mastery of the Mediation Process”

 

Teresa Wakeen, J.D.

 

Five Methods of Integrative Negotiations

 

1. Expanding the Pie: Increasing available resources

 

2. Nonspecific Compensation: One party gets what he/she wants; the other party is repaid with different compensation.

 

3. Logrolling: Each party concedes on low priority issues in exchange for concession on higher priority issues.

 

4. Costcutting: One party gets what he/she wants; the other party’s costs are reduced or eliminated.

 

5. Bridging: Neither party achieves their initial demand, but a new option is created that satisfies the most important interest underlying their demands
