Question:

Which of the following category of negotiations is referred to as "win-lose"?

Options:

Integrative

Inductive

Distributive

Deductive

Correct Answer:

Distributive

Explanation:

Distributive negotiations are referred to as “win-lose”.  One party gets what they want, and the other party has to give something up. This can be the case when you negotiate a lease on office space, for example. If you feel like you got a good deal and the property manager had to give something up for you, “you –won”. If you feel like the property manager had the upper hand and you got ripped off, “you-lost”. The parties’ interests often seem to be opposed (although this may not be the case once you look at things creatively), and so this type of negotiation does not lead to lasting or positive relationships.
