Abstract

Roy H. Andes Modem negotiation study focuses most of its analysis on the differences between traditional competitive bargaining and the usually preferred collaborative approach (see e.g., Nierenberg, 1973). Theoretical models of negotiation tend to view it as being either "principled" and being "hard" (Fisher and Ury, 1981) and our choices are between negotiating in a "distributive" mode or an "integra­ tive" one (Raiffa, 1982). Many of us - practitioners and teachers - rhapsodize about the merits of collaboration. Appropriately, we have not been without our critics (e.g., White, 1984); at the same time, others in the field choose to ignore the col­ laboration craze as presumably being unrealistic (e.g., Cohen, 1980). A few scholars have offered perspectives that recognize the inherently mixed nature of every negotiation as partly collaborative and partly competitive. The and Sebenius (1986) model describes negotiators' basic choices as "creat­ Lax ing value'' collaboratively or ''claiming value'' competitively. They suggest that even the most collaborative negotiators at some point must claim their individual portion of available resources, whether or not they have been successful at creat­ ing an expanded pie through cooperation. From such a perspective, a negotiator's choices need to be seen as some­ thing
