Group Conversation. In this approach, parties just begin talking about issues in general and ultimately begin to focus on one. A solution may or may not emerge s a result of general conversation, and without a structure discussions may meander and become unfocused and time-consuming. Members of cultures who feel comfortable with many activities happening at once often favor this approach to issue sequencing. This style is also common in informal interpersonal negotiations, or in tribal or communal societies that have relatively unstructured decision-making processes and less-focused group dialogues. In each of these settings, the participants desire more holistic solutions that consider many variables and the input and interest of the whole group.
