Answer 1

Answer:

Distributive bargaining

Explanation:

Distributive bargaining can be defined as a type of bargaining system/strategy in which one party gains only if the other party loses.

Distributive bargaining is mostly used when there is a negotiation that involves fixed resources e.g; money, assets, etc.

Distributive bargaining as a negotiation strategy does not aim to provide a win-win situation for all parties involved but that one party loses while the other gains considerably.

An example of distributive bargaining is a supermarket having a fixed price for an item. in that situation, you can't bargain and as such you either buy the item or leave the store.

That results in a win for the supermarket and a loss for you the buyer should yo choose to buy the item.
