What is Restrictive Bargaining?

Restrictive bargaining refers to negotiations where one or more parties impose limitations or conditions that constrain the options or flexibility of the other party. This can involve tactics such as setting strict terms, creating barriers to communication, or restricting available alternatives. Such approaches can hinder collaborative problem-solving and may lead to conflict or dissatisfaction if perceived as unfair. In essence, restrictive bargaining can limit the potential for mutually beneficial outcomes in negotiations.
