Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario best exemplifies domination, as one company is using its power to control and restrict access to a shared resource, the basement parking facilities, at the expense of the other company. Integration would involve finding a mutually beneficial solution, accommodation would involve making concessions and compromises, and mediation would involve bringing in a neutral third party to help resolve the conflict.
