Negotiation and Consensus Building
Distributive bargaining– Win-lose negotiations– Dividing the pie (or the orange)
Integrative or principled bargaining– Win-win negotiations– Expanding the pie (or the orange)

Lessons
Integrative bargaining can be powerful Problem definition has an impact
– 1: Dividing up the oranges– 2: Your needs with the oranges
Not all settings can become integrative

Managing Conflict in Collaboration
Seek to build consensus via integrative bargaining– Separate the people from the problem– Focus on interests, not positions– Invent options for mutual gain– Insist on using objective criteria (Fisher and Ury 1981)
Create clear rules for decision making– Consensus– Consensus-1 or Supermajority– Simple majority
