Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario describes domination, as one company is using its power and resources (in this case, paying more rent) to assert control over the available resources (the cafeteria during lunch hours) at the expense of the other company. Integration, accommodation, and mediation involve finding mutually beneficial solutions and are not present in this scenario.
