Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Escalation refers to a situation where an organization responds to a competitor's behavior with an increase in their own behavior. This can lead to a cycle of escalation where both organizations continue to increase their behavior in response to the other. Evaluation refers to the process of assessing a situation or behavior. Externality refers to the impact of a situation or behavior on external parties not directly involved. Accommodation refers to a situation where an organization adjusts their behavior to fit with the behavior of another party, rather than escalating.
