09 Nov Distributive and Integrative Bargaining
In the series finale of the HBO series Game of Thrones, Tyrion Lannister reports the outcome of a
negotiation to an imprisoned Jon Snow, stating “[n]o one is very happy which means its a good
compromise, I suppose.” What is a win-win negotiation? What are the characteristics that make for a win-win negotiation? Does Tyrion’s statement describe a win-win negotiation or something else?
Do you think it is realistic for two sides of a bargaining table to walk away truly happy? Explain your position, citing examples from your own experience where appropriate.
