Information mobilization is another important strategy for contextualizing individual
negotiations. Strategic access to information has been identified as a critical factor determining
the ability to negotiate effectively, reduce the expression of bias, and develop
structural solutions to recurring problems. Three kinds of information have been shown
to be instrumental in reshaping negotiation dynamics through intermediation. First,
organizational catalysts use the strategy of converting tacit knowledge into transparent
or accessible knowledge. They share their own knowledge of the rules of the game, and
they also self-consciously and systematically connect newcomers with people within the
system who possess and are willing to share that knowledge.
