The above article provides coverage of a case study of how Kaiser Permanente thrived through the evaluation of interest-based negotiations. According to Baldwin, the organization witnessed a massive increase in the number of employees due to the expansion of its previously existing facilities and partly through the new facilities establishment. It was made possible by implementing the innovative problem solving and strategies and negotiations to address important topics such as improvement of performance and integration of advanced technologies into the health care system. One of the tools incorporated into the system was interest-based negotiations. The articles teach negotiation strategy starts by focusing on goals and concerns from all sides and determining suitable processes in the managerial process. The whole process comprised of task groups established solutions separate national and local issues. 

The research findings conducted by the task groups do not list partnership as a grand solution to the labor-management process or dealing with the issues of cost and coverage related to health care. However, the research results conclude that there was an improved partnership between the unions of Kaiser. Quantitative data reveals that the pace and extent of relations have improved through different labor markets and collective bargaining environments. The research findings indicate that even though the impact of the partnership is minimal, they played a significant role in reducing costs and improving the perception of workers towards the job at Kaiser. It also improved the performance of clinics in various regions.
