Abstract

We consider the question of when teams are an asset at the negotiating table and when they are a liability. We center our review on three key “empirical truths” about teams. First, teams are better than individuals at solving problems. Second, teams are more self-interested than individuals. Third, teams are trusted less and are less trusting than individuals.
