Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Compromising is typically characterized as a partial lose-lose approach because both parties have to give up something in order to reach a solution. It may not always be the best strategy, especially when the issue is extremely important and both parties have strongly held positions. Therefore, A is incorrect. B is also incorrect as compromising can be a good means of conflict management when both parties are willing to make concessions. D is incorrect as it's rare for both parties to be completely satisfied after making compromises.
