Win–win game

In game theory, a win–win game or win–win 'scenario is a situation that produces a mutually beneficial outcome for two or more parties. It is also called a positive-sum game' as it is the opposite of a zero-sum game. If a win–win scenario is not achieved, the scenario becomes a lose–lose situation by default, since it had caused failure for at least one of the parties.
While she did not coin the term, Mary [Parker Follett]'s process of integration described in her book Creative Experience forms the basis of what we now refer to as the idea of "win-win" conflict resolution. An example of a win-win scenario is trade, since both parties end up with a good or service they value more, making both participants better off.
