Coercive strategies refer to methods used to influence or control others through threats, intimidation, or force. These strategies can be employed in various contexts, including politics, business negotiations, and interpersonal relationships. The goal is often to compel compliance or achieve specific outcomes by instilling fear or pressure. While coercive strategies may yield short-term results, they can lead to negative consequences, such as damaged relationships and loss of trust. In contrast to collaborative approaches, coercive tactics often create resistance and resentment, making it difficult to maintain long-term cooperation and positive interactions among individuals or groups.
