Cevap
Focusing on underlying shared interests rather than rigid positional stances, and establishing a joint multi-departmental monitoring team with shared goals.
In public administration and group dynamics, successful negotiation relies on integrative bargaining—focusing on mutual interests such as public safety and project completion rather than defended positions. Furthermore, structuring cooperative inter-group interactions through joint monitoring teams helps overcome departmental bias and aligns efforts toward shared goals.
