...Planning for Rapid & Scott Negotiation In any negotiation, preparation is crucial; and having a set, outlined process to follow when preparing helps mitigate a potential oversight of any significant issues within the negotiation. Following a set process also helps one stay on task and in-line with what the important issues and factors are in a negotiation. In Bargaining for Advantage, G. Richard Shell provides a well-structured framework to follow in planning for a negotiation. For this reason, I used Shell’s negotiation preparation framework to plan for the negotiation between Rapid Printing Company (Rapid) and Scott Computers, Inc (Scott). The first step to prepare for my negotiation is to outline the actual problem. While at first the problem seems to be relatively straight forward, upon thinking on it further it becomes a bit more ambiguous. The initial problem seems to be that Rapid is unsatisfied with the product we sold them because they cannot operate the program without the necessary application program, and for this reason they are refusing to make the agreed-upon payments for our hardware and operating program. However, upon further analysis, I do not think this is the actual problem. If this was the problem, it would simply be a matter of using the contract as evidence of our agreement. The real problem for us is that because Rapid is experiencing extreme financial difficulty, a judgment against them in our favor will actually end up costing us money as we...

...CONFLICT T he success or failure of any organization is dependent upon the use of its indigenous, collective energies. When procedures are clear, the "esprit de corps" is high, and the business is said to be productive. But whenever people come together in one setting over a period of time, you can always expect conflict to find itself in the midst. The Webster’s dictionary defines conflict as a sharp disagreement or opposition of interests or ideas but from a more objective perspective, conflict is “a state in which one party perceive that another party has, or is about to negatively impact something that is important to the first party” (Robbins, 2006). The key word to note in this definition is “perceives”. Perceive is a concept that occurs within the mind. It is one’s interpretation of a situation or thing and does not necessarily have to be true. That might explain why on many occasions, a conflict that arises; may be unnecessary or misguided and result in wasted time. Causes of Conflict A s you may discern, the causes of conflict are numerous and each has their own accompanying challenges. Within the organization however, C. Brooklyn Derr in his book Major Causes of Organizational Conflict: Diagnosis for Action, stated that there are six (6) main causes of conflict: 1) The interpersonal disagreements that arise when one person is experiencing individual stress. People bring their whole selves to the workplace and they may...

Conflict can come from a number of different scenarios and can cause numerous problems or issues. The Negotiation process is another key element for most businesses to run at maximum efficiency which leads to maximum profitability. Performing proper negotiating tactics helps to reduce conflict in many areas of business and ensures a company can obtain all available beneficial terms. In the following there will be a detailed definition of conflict which will include the differentiation between the traditional, interactionist, and managed-conflict views of conflict; as well as an outline of the conflict process. Finally proper negotiation will be defined as well as a contrast of distributive and integrative bargaining, the five steps of the negotiation process, how individual differences influence negotiations, an assessment of the roles and functions of third-party negotiations, and cultural differences in negotiations. The concept of conflict does not discriminate against a particular portion of society but pulls at the coat strings of many American workers, unfortunately only a portion of society of receive the proper assistance. Women in particular have made enormous strides of breaking barriers and leveling the playing field, once strategically architecture by men. Arguably the barriers of forty years ago are removed and the...

...and use of their property. Prah argues that he is first in time and he had the right to the light and air first and that it would lessen his enjoyment and use of his property to have the sunlight blocked. Muretti argument is that the most important right of a landowner is the right to use their property. His house complies with the laws and statutes and therefore should be allowed to be built. Then the dispute arose… There several alternatives to litigation that may be applicable in this situation as trial is expensive. Our suggestions are: 1. The first approach is to send a Demand Letter which details our demands to the other side. In our case it is the location that the house is being built. We would outline what we wanted and the action that we are planning to take if our requests are not met. The benefits of a demand letter are, predictably, straight forward. There is no dancing and no posturing; the opposing party knows where we stand and has the opportunity to accept or reject our offer....

COURSE OBJECTIVE | Objective of this program is to generate basic level understanding and translating conceptual exposure in very congenial atmosphere among the students and professional that why supply chain management is among the top initiatives for businesses of all sizes. Yet most purchasing, operation, planning, and finance managers feel they don’t have good control over their supply chains. Even the best informed are saddled with questions about establishing organization buy-in, defining metrics and benchmarks, optimizing material and transactional flow, and conducting relevant competitive analysis to define business opportunities. The challenges involved in optimizing a company’s supply chain are substantial. The proposed course outline grew out of a number of supply chain management courses or workshop conducted in Executive Education programs I have taught extensively in many universities within and outside Pakistan over the past five years as well as number of projects I have handled in the field of designing the supply chain model within Pakistan or and other countries of the world. The course outline is more or less similar to the topics...

...support ADRC operations. The experience of ADRC grantees thus far indicates that the process may take several years from the planning stages to having a fully implemented system in place. The chart below outlines the critical steps in the process of building a new IT system to support ADRC operations and was adapted for ADRC grantees from resources available on the ADRC-TAE website (www.adrctae.com), and from the TechSoup Learning Center Website (www.techsoup.org). We are aware that some ADRCs may choose to adapt existing systems and that they may follow some of these steps, but this checklist primarily details steps involved in creating a new system. Step 1 Timeline 3- 6 months Tasks Establish Leadership and Support 1) Identify core IT/MIS work group or team (drawing from key project staff at state and local levels, advisory board members, consumers) 2) Request input from and secure support of key management, grant staff, advisory board, professional front-line users (pilot site staff, partners, and/or consumers), other stakeholders. 3) First steps for your core IT/MIS work group include: a) Diagram key business processes and identify areas in which automation already does support or should support these processes. This may include suggesting where IT could lead to a total redesign of the business process. In some cases, the result of this planning will result in a business process model. For examples, see the resources below. b) Identify potential barriers (people, politics...

...Conflict Resolution Paper Lucy Cortez, Flo Gonzalez, Max Ruiz, and Jamal Wood Team A Psy/430 April 6, 2011 University of Phoenix Conflict Resolution Paper In this paper the subject to go into is about a conflict about time management, a proposed resolution, personal strengths used, conflict management techniques used, other techniques that were used and how the group arrived at this decision. Time management Time management consists of time spent, increased productivity, and is aided by skills or techniques such as planning, allocating, and goal setting. Time management occurs when projects, goals or tasks are accomplished in a timely manner. Time management is the conflict that the team is suffering from (Answers Corporation, 2011). Each member had the opportunity to meet in person or do work over the Internet through e-mails. The team agreed to e-mail because of conflict of work schedules and distance from one another. The problem started when members of the team were turning work in late and there was not anytime to submit work into write point for corrections, and the members were not responding to his or her e-mails and that started the lack of communication. Proposed solution The team came together to strategize and come up with a solution to help accommodate this problem. The decision to make one member in charge of contacting each member was a suggestion, but over ruled. Each member agreed to make a phone call to contact members once an e-mail was...

Emotional intelligence at workDocument 1 of 1 Emotional intelligence at work Author: Taylor, Peter ProQuest document link[->0] Abstract (Abstract): As recently as April 2009, at one of our You Asked for It workshops, Summit readers experienced a hands on demonstration of emotional intelligence (EI) at work. In a session led by Linda Pickard, workshop attendees figured out whether they were left or right brain dominant, or somewhere in between, and then learned how that characteristic played out in communications and negotiations with co-workers, clients and suppliers. Understanding your emotions and those of the people you are dealing with improves communication and, consequently, the outcome of the situation. I suspect that to many of you it sounds a bit "touchy feely" for a procurement magazine, but I also suspect that understanding and practicing your EI will go a long way to making work more productive, procurements more successful and contract management easier. A brief introduction to the science behind emotional intelligence explains a number of important things. The human brain's first role was to protect us from external threats. The 'flight or fight' response prompted us to react quickly to sounds and sights around us. There was no time for rational...
