There
are three ways of dealing with difference: domination,
compromise, and integration. By domination only one
side gets what it wants; by compromise neither side
gets what it wants; by integration we find a way by
which both sides may get what they wish.
-- Mary Parker Follett

When
will mankind be convinced and agree to settle
their difficulties by arbitration?

Franklin
The
most constructive solutions are those which take into
consideration the views of all persons involved and
are acceptable to all. Such outcomes are the result
of negotiation strategies where the needs of both
sides are considered important and an attempt is made
to meet all needs. These solutions are appropriately
called Win-Win because there are no losers. While
often difficult to arrive at, the process leading
to such solutions builds interpersonal relationships,
increases motivation and improves commitment. Win-Win
solutions are the most desirable outcomes of conflict
resolution.
-- Peter Gabor and Carol Ing
