1. Integrative decision making.
2. Win-lose strategy.
3. Accommodation.
4. Consensus.

Explanation: 1. Consensus occurs when the problem is fully explored, the needs and goals of both parties are
addressed, and a mutual decision is made. Integrative decision making is a strategy that
focuses on the process of decision making, not the outcome. Win-lose strategies allow one
party to win and the other to lose. Accommodation is an unassertive strategy used when
individuals neglect their own concerns in favor of the other party?s concerns.
