Strategic Negotiations

Strategic Negotiations: A Theory of Change in Labor-Management Relations, a 1994 Harvard Business School Press publication, is a book on negotiation by the authors; Richard E. Walton, Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld, and Robert McKersie.

[2] Each represents an overarching pattern of interaction that characterizes the negotiations.

A strategy does not emerge all at once, but over time as a result of consistent patterns of interaction.

"Escape" is a non-negotiations strategy in which one or more parties seek to end or undercut the relationship, which leads to a loss-loss situation.
