Final-Offer Versus Conventional Arbitration as Means of Conflict Management

Abstract

This research was made possible by a grant to W. W. Notz from the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 1977 meeting of the American Institute of Decision Sciences. We would like to thank Jim Chapryk and Wilf Pinsonneault for their very able performance as confederates, and Larry Cummings, Les Roos, and Paul Salipante for their valuable suggestions on the paper.
