Congruent negotiation, or identifying congruent issues, occurs when both parties in a negotiation want the same outcome, allowing them to align their interests for mutual gain rather than competing. It involves recognizing, often within complex negotiations, that certain issues are not zero-sum but shared goals.
Congruent issues are ones where both sides want the same thing. An example of this would be in a negotiation over employment terms, both the employee and the company want to place that employee in a certain location. Both sides want the same thing so the issue doesn't need to be a point of contention.
They divide these issues into three categories: distributive (those where the parties have opposing preferences), integrative (those where parties have different preferences, but one assigns greater value than the other), or congruent (those over which the parties have no dispute).
