Cevap

The emergency powers strategy matches Competing; the joint expert committee matches Collaborating; the reduced highway width matches Compromising; and postponing the meeting matches Avoiding.
Each administrative strategy corresponds directly to a specific mode in the Thomas-Kilmann conflict resolution model based on its balance of assertiveness (focus on own goals) and cooperativeness (focus on others' goals). Competing is high assertiveness and low cooperativeness. Collaborating is high in both. Compromising is moderate in both. Avoiding is low in both.
