Integrative Negotiation

Pattern number within this pattern set: 
765
Stewart Dutfield
Marist College
Problem: 

It is inevitable that people and groups will have conflicting interests. A transactional view of negotiation beteen these interests--you give me this & I'll give you that in return--perpetuates the status quo and often leads to everyone feeling that they have lost more than they have gained.

Context: 

Wherever people have conflicting interests--within a group or organization, or in a conversation with other groups.

Discussion: 

This is really a placeholder for a belated pattern that I have promised Doug. I'm especially interested in comments as to how it links to the "Negotiation for Peace" and other related patterns.
