Case
Study: Noisy Neighbors (graded)
|
Linda and Larry are
angry because their new neighbors in the apartment complex, Dale and Donna,
seem to hold late-night parties every Thursday. Linda and Larry both have long
work days that require them to rise early and remain alert all day. Linda and
Larry have asked Dale and Donna to keep the noise down on Thursday nights and
conclude their parties by midnight. Dale and Donna have ignored their requests.
Linda and Larry have reached their boiling points and have decided to call the
police this Thursday if the party goes on beyond midnight.
Given this scenario,
how have Linda and Larry handled the conflict thus far? What should they do
now?
Additional questions
to consider:
1. 1. Some negotiating is “interest-based”, and
some is “rights based”. What determines which approach is better and which
approach is least costly?
2. 2. When is “active avoidance” appropriate?
DeVry HRM595 week 1 dq 2
Read Case 8, “Sick
Leave”, in the back section of your e-text.
After reading the
case, identify and explain the conflict that occurred, how it occurred, how it
could have been avoided, and what Kelly and the other ALTs should do now.
Consider the Chapter 16 concepts on international and cross-cultural
negotiation in your answer. Also, consider the questions and answers from the
Personal Bargaining Inventory assignment. Given your own scoring on the
Personal Bargaining Inventory, how well would you have likely handled the
situation if you were Kelly?

General information and instructions:
1. 1. Review text pages 137–139 in Chapter 4.
These pages cover step 9 in the planning process, assessing the social context
of negotiation.
2. 2. The field analysis tool is helpful when
negotiators have to consider multiple parties—on their own side and on the
other side—who can affect a negotiation outcome, and whose needs and interests
must be considered.
3. 3. Take note that the soccer field (see diagram
below) is a metaphor for a two-party multi-stakeholder contract negotiation.
Specific information and instructions:
1. 1. Assume that you are the negotiator who is
tasked with a salary (on call time, step increases, overtime for captains and
majors) and benefits (insurance while employed, insurance after retirement,
accrual of leave time, retirement multipliers) dispute between a large
municipal county with a strong mayor and the sheriff’s department for the
county.
2. 2. You are negotiating the contract on behalf
of the sheriff’s office. The purpose of this activity is to give you an
opportunity to construct a field analysis on your relationship with a specific
other negotiator. This tool should be helpful when negotiators have to consider
multiple parties—on their own side and on the other side—who can affect a
negotiation outcome, and whose needs and interests must be considered.
3. 3. The field has the following stakeholders.
4. a. On the fieldwould be members of your team and members of
the other team (A, B).

other team personnel (C).
6. c. In the standsare fans who are watching the negotiation,
members of the media, and other direct observers (D).
7. d. The elements outside the stadium—the location of the stadium, the weather, and
other “context factors” which can shape how the game evolves and is played (E)
8. 4. Questions are presented in identical pairs
(1,2; 3,4; 5,6; and 7,8) but answers will not necessarily be the same.
9. 5. Questions 7 and 8 have four sub-parts,
which require answers in each sub-part.

DeVry HRM595 Week 3 Topic Proposal Assignment latest 2016
october
Course Project
By the end of the
week, submit a topic proposal for your Negotiation Analysis Paper. The proposal
(one page) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The
negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have
been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations include
a workplace
negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position or new salary (preferred);
a complex business
transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
a complex real estate
purchase;
a union-management
contract (including professional sports leagues);
a neighborhood group
negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
a negotiation between
divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and
a negotiation between
a vendor and business over products and services.
The above are
representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind
in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that
you can preform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts
learned in this course.

The following are the
best practices in preparing this paper:
·
Title Page – Include
who you prepared the paper for, who prepared, and date.
·
Table of Contents –
List the main ideas and section of your paper and the pages in which they are
located. The illustrations should be included separately.
·
Introduction – Use a
header on your paper. This will indicate you are introducing your paper.
The purpose of an
introduction or opening:
1. Introduce the subject and why the subject is
important.
2. Preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered.
3. Establish a tone of the document.
Include in the
introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also, include an
overview of what you are going to cover in your paper and the importance of the
material. (This should include or introduce the questions you are asked to
answer on each assignment.)
·
Body of Your Report – Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example: “The
negotiation between Company X and Company Y; An Analysis”. Then proceed to
break out the main ideas. State the main ideas, state major points in each
idea, and provide evidence. Break out each main idea you will use in the body
of your paper. Show some type of division, such as separate sections that
are labeled, separate groups of paragraphs, or headers. You would include the
information you found during your research and investigation.
·
Summary and Conclusion – Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of
the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies
the main ideas and major support points from the body of your report. Minor
details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect
the tourism industry.
·
References – Follow APA
Publications Manual, 6th edition in using in-text citations and include a
reference page.
Additional hints on
preparing the best possible project:
4. Apply a three step process of writing (plan,
write, and complete).
5. Prepare an outline of your research paper before you go forward.
6. Complete a first draft and then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any
changes required.
7. Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of
your report. You could use example like graphs, diagrams, photographs,
flowcharts, maps, drawings, animation, video clips, pictograms, tables, and
Gantt charts if applicable.
Devry HRM 595 Final Exam
1. 1) Joe McDonald is the HR manager of ACME
chemicals. His boss, Bill Jacobs, is concerned that the interactions
between the various departments of the company are inconsistent and that there
is too much competition between departments rather than cooperation. Bill
has asked you about ways to improve the negotiations between business
units. In your explanation to Bill, you need to explain the following:
What are the three primary reasons that negotiations occur? What is the
difference between bargaining and negotiation? Why must successful
negotiations involve both tangible and intangible components? Do you
think that ACME needs to pursue an integrative or a distributive approach to
their future interdepartmental negotiations? (Points : 20)
1. (2) Define the term “conflict” and describe how it
impacts the negotiation process. Your explanation should include the 4
levels of conflict and the dysfunctions that conflict can create. In your
response, you need to also provide your opinion as to whether conflict is always
a negative component in negotiations. If not, why? (Points : 15)
1. (3) Jack Johnson owns a 1998 Ford Mustang that he
is looking to sell. He advertises in the Auto Trader. Mary Smith
responds to his ad and expresses interest in purchasing the vehicle. Jack
is asking $3500 for the car. Mary is looking to pay no more than $2500
for the vehicle. Would you describe this negotiation as a distributive or
an integrative negotiation? Why? Jack has set $3500 as the price of his car but
is willing to take $3000 for the vehicle. Anything under $3000 will not be
accepted. Mary wants to pay $2500 for the car, but is willing to go up to
$3000. Anything over $3000 will cause the deal to fail. Define and
contrast the Walkaway Points, Target Points and Asking Price/Initial Offer of
the parties. What are some of the strategies that could be used by each party
to achieve the outcome they desire? (Points : 30)
1. (4) What makes an integrative negotiation
different from a distributive negotiation? Define the key steps in the
integrative negotiation process. How does establishment of a BATNA aid
the parties in realizing their integrative outcome? (Define the term BATNA in
your response). If a win-win outcome is beneficial to both parties, then why is
it so difficult to achieve? (Points : 30)
1. (5) Often there are other parties to a negotiation
that can add great complexity to the process. Define the following terms:
Negotiating Dyad; Agent; Constituency; Bystander; Audience. What are some of
the reasons that an individual might engage the services of an agent to
represent him/her in a negotiation? (Discuss at least three) What are the
three distinct relationships that an Agent has to maintain in the negotiation
process? (Points : 30)
1. (6) Marie Smith is the head of Marketing for Jones
Construction. Harry Brown is the on-site project manager for all major
construction projects. Marie is interested in expanding the budget for
general marketing activities. Harry wants these resources reserved for
existing projects. Marie comes to you for advice on the key steps she
should use in preparing for her negotiation with Harry. Discuss the 7
steps to an ideal negotiation process. (Points : 15)
1. (7) As Marie and Harry enter into their
negotiations, their perceptions of each other will be an important component to
the negotiation process. Define perception and the role it plays in the
negotiation process. What are the four major perceptual errors that tend to
occur? What does the term “framing” mean and how does it relate to the
issue of perceptions? How can we counter these perceptual errors? (Points : 30)
1. (8) We have discussed the importance of
communication in the negotiation process. We reviewed the concept of
communication as a sender encoding a message to a receiver who decodes the
message and then responds back to the sender – thus creating the feedback
process important to every negotiation. What are the major sources of
distortion that can interfere with communication? (Name and define at least 3)
What are the three key questions we need to ask regarding communication in
negotiations? What role does listening play in the communications process
(Describe the 3 types of listening). What are some of the ways that a
negotiator can improve his/her communication skills? (Points : 30)
1. (9) When we look at the complexities of the
negotiation process, there are many situations where a negotiator might
consider the use of questionable tactics to accomplish his/her goals. This
brings up the important question of ethics in negotiation. Define the 4
types of ethical reasoning. Why do people use deceptive/ambiguous tactics in
negotiation? What are some of the factors that shape a predisposition to the
use of unethical tactics? How can we effectively respond to the use of unethical
practices? (Points : 20)
1. (10) Barney and Marilyn have been married for six
months. They engage in negotiations consistently as a way to improve
their understanding of each other and to build a loving relationship. How
does this “relationship” negotiation differ from the negotiation practices that
we have discussed involving business relationships? Research has uncovered 4
fundamental types of relationship forms. Define and contrast them. Which
of the four types represent the relationship between Barney and Marilyn? What
are the three key elements necessary for managing negotiations within
relationships? Which do you think is the most important? Why? (Points : 30)
It is actually a great and helpful piece of info. I am glad that you shared this useful info with us.
