Negotiation
Parties involved discuss to reach a mutually acceptable solution. Often used in individualistic cultures such as the United States.
Accommodation
One party yields to the other's demands. This is generally effective in collectivist cultures that emphasize group harmony, like Korea.
Joint Problem Solving
A method where parties come together to solve a problem collectively, effective in egalitarian cultures that encourage open dialogue, such as Canada.
Collaboration
Parties work together to find a creative solution satisfying all. It’s valued in cultures with a strong orientation towards teamwork, such as Sweden.
Appealing to Higher Authority
Involves bringing in a respected leader or institution to settle the dispute. Effective in cultures with great respect for authority, such as in Brazil.
Active Listening
