Three additional conditions also must exist in order for bargaining to occur (Chertkoff and Esser, 1976):
1.ใMutual comprise must be possible. Bargaining situations require intermediate solutions for the parties involved.
2.The possibility must exist for provisional offers to be made by those involved in the situation.
3.The provisional offers must not determine the outcome of the situation until the terms are accepted by all parties.
A bargaining situation can then be defined as an interaction where parties with certain disagreements confer and exchange ideas about possible solution.
