    Description

    Three-member cross-functional teams negotiate the design of a house, in which a client specifies required features and a limited budget. Each negotiator is assigned a role: the structural expert, the finish expert, or the land expert. Each expert is given confidential information about pricing for various options they can include in the design plan, a confidential profit schedule (indicating how much profit they will make if their option is included in the design), and special bonus information involving integrative tradeoffs. The main task of the group is to determine the set of options, beyond those required by the client, to be included in the design for the house. The exercise involves three dependent measures: perceptions of group members' competitiveness, joint profit (and integrative trade-offs), and equality of resource distribution.
