Negotiating as a Team or Alone

With the past few weeks of having a partner I have come to realize that being with someone else to at least bounce ideas back and forth with I feel can make negotiating more effective. Another thing I saw was that when people are in groups cultural tendencies tend to get amplified. City people are more individualistic and shy when surrounded by other other city kids, while a suburban and country kids are less individualistic and more concerned about the group. But I don't think those labels have to do with anything when it come to deciding who has the easier time negotiating the big contract. I Consider the cultural tendencies of my classmates as them being involved in what outcomes they want to see. One person from a group centered culture may be more aggressive when solo and then more accommodating in a group. While someone from an individualist mindset, like my city peers may be more demanding and independent when teamed with other individualists country peer.
