Evaluate the biases that each party might have formed about the other party.

In this module you saw the impact and issues related to emotions, biases, and perceptions surrounding a negotiation. In your first course project assignment, you devised a plan for Michelle so that she could be prepared for her negotiation with her boss. Clearly, Michelle is upset over having to switch shifts and consequently locate new or additional daycare. At this point in the conflict, Nikki is aware of Michelle being displeased with the shift change and knows that she wants to meet, but is unaware of reasons behind it. Michelle devised the new schedule based solely on seniority and nothing else. She thought that this was the fairest way possible given that the policy change affected everyone’s schedule. She does not want the situation with Michelle to snowball into a bigger issue with overall dissatisfaction with the employees. Nikki feels that there is a section of employees who should not receive the preferential shifts because they are continuous problems in the workplace (this is a true and documented statement) regardless of the fact that they have worked at the call center longer.

For this section of the project, you will be identifying possible emotions, biases, and perceptions for this dilemma. In a  paper, address the following:

  • Frame the issues from Michelle and Nikki’s perspectives (use an interest, rights, or power approach to framing the issues).
  • Biases hamper the negotiation process when parties come to the table with prejudgments about the other party. Put yourself into the shoes of both parties. Evaluate the biases that each party might have formed about the other party. Think about some of your workplace conflicts, what are some of the typical biases that arise when there is a dispute between a supervisor and a subordinate? Relate these biases to Michelle and Nikki’s situation.
  • Nikki knows that emotions are running high in the conflict with Michelle. From your readings this week and outside research, create a list of seven strategies that Nikki can use during her negotiation with Michelle for dealing with an opponent whose negative emotions are running high and explain how each tactic can be utilized in this situation. Ignoring the emotions is not an option.

Discuss potential global expansion on the company culture and success.

Beefsteak is a fast-casual restaurant concept from acclaimed Chef José Andrés that focuses on the “unsung power of vegetables.” José Andrés is a world-renowned chef and owner of a number of restaurants. He was nominated for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for his work with disaster relief through his non-profit organization World Central Kitchen. Andrés’s mission is to change the world through the power of food. Jim Biafore, Senior Director for Beefsteak, knows that culture—much like any good business—is forever changing, adapting to its environment. As Beefsteak grows, he sees the need to develop employees not only for return on investment, but also for maintenance of the culture and values espoused from the larger organization, ThinkFoodGroup. Beefsteak needs to develop programs to develop its employees in line with the company’s mission and strategic direction.

Assume the role of a Beefsteak consultant dedicated to creating and reinforcing the company’s ideal culture. Jim Biafore wants you to assess Beefsteak’s current company culture, determine ways that it can be improved, forecast potential changes through growth, and provide a plan for sustaining cultural longevity through employees.

Using the materials provided to you, as well as at least two to three additional resources pertaining to human resource management, prepare a 12- to 15-minute presentation of the proposal for a strategic human capital development program focused on the transmission of company core values.

To communicate with Beefsteak’s Jim Biafore and executive team, you will orally present your analysis using Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.). If needed, review the Screencast-O-Matic Quick-Start Guide (Links to an external site.). The analysis should be documented using PowerPoint, with 12 to 20 slides which include speaker notes. The strategic human capital analysis should reinforce the culture through

The analysis should also consider Week 4’s contemporary human capital topic and predictive analysis.

Consider the following questions as you prepare your analysis:

  • What might you infer about Beefsteak’s current company culture? Does it have elements of organizational responsibility?
  • What key characteristics should Beefsteak recruiters look for in candidates, especially with regard to how someone will fit into the company culture?
  • How does job training and employee development differ from a cultural standpoint?
  • What motivates individuals or employees to believe in a cause?
  • What do employees want out of development programs?
  • What about employee development programs benefits the company?
  • Why is it important to think about employee development at this stage?
  • What contemporary human capital issues might you consider at Beefsteak?
  • Is it possible to use some predictive analysis technique?
  • How might things differ if Beefsteak expands globally rather than just in the U.S.?
  • How do you plan to measure the success/failure of your culture strategy? What steps will you take to ensure that the culture is shifting and/or being reinforced in that way that you intend?

In this presentation analysis,

  • Determine ways to improve the company’s culture in a growth environment.
  • Assess and make recommendations regarding the company’s recruiting, training, development, and retention strategies.
  • Integrate contemporary human capital topics and predictive analysis.
  • Discuss potential global expansion on the company culture and success.
  • Formulate an overall organized and concise proposal for the company’s ideal culture supported through human resource management.

Explain how and why the presence of empathy may be a protective factor against causing harm.

Attachment starts from the moment of birth as an infant begins to recognize her mother’s smell, voice, and face. Children with insecure attachment due to a parent with unresolved emotional issues or an inconsistent parenting style show an inability to consistently show emotions. Children who have a secure attachment to at least one adult have higher self-esteem, social skills, and empathy. Empathy can be shown by children as young as 2 years of age and continues to develop into adolescence. Empathy is critical to the formation of healthy, reciprocal relationships. It allows individuals to understand how someone else may feel. If empathy is lacking, an individual may not hold back from physically or emotionally harming others because he does not have the capacity to understand how the impact of such harm. The relationship between the lack of empathy and antisocial behavior can be evident in children in early to middle elementary school years. This lack of empathy is one of the primary contributors to violent behavior.

In this Assignment, you analyze the role that attachment plays in the development of empathy and how empathy is a protective factor against violent behavior. You also explore the expression “neurons that fire together wire together” and how it relates to violent behavior.

  • Explain the role of attachment in empathy.
  • Explain how and why the presence of empathy may be a protective factor against causing harm.
  • Provide an example of a violent crime and how attachment and empathy may play a role.
  • Explain whether or not empathy may be hard-wired. If so, how? Provide an example.
  • Explain the expression “neurons that fire together wire together.” Provide an example.

JOHNNY’S POST:

How does employee empowerment aid in building partnerships between companies and their customers?

From my personal experience when I feel empowered and entrusted from my leadership than I am usually in a better mood. The employee’s feel that they are valued and important to the organization. Therefore, they are more likely to work harder and take pride in what they do. This empowerment will most likely translate into building better relationships with customers. If the customers are impressed with their reactions with the company’s employee’s than they will most likely want to come back to the business.

Describe why the structure of an Agile Organization might meet the goal of empowerment and partnership.

The structure of an Agile Organization as stated by the text, 2016, “An agile organization is one that can quickly react to changes in the market. This means that companies can and do successfully respond to new competitors, technologies, and shifts in the market” (Ch 5.2, Para 1). An Agile Organization is one that rapidly changes and continues to innovate. For this to happen all employee’s must be empowered otherwise they will try and resist change. If the employees are empowered, they will respond to change better.

Provide an example from your experience as an employee or customer.

I can say that as a customer of USAA an auto issuance/banking company. I feel like they always innovate and remain agile. I have always had a great experience with them, and it appears that their employers remain empowered to help us make decisions. As a customer who has had great experiences with their employers, I would never take my business elsewhere.

How does employee empowerment aid in building partnerships between companies and their customers? 

As stated in the text empowerment a shift in expectations by which employees are given more autonomy in decision making and increased responsibility (Weiss, 2016).  In my experience like today I feel empowered, because when I have a positive attitude, and making myself available.  The employees tend to follow their leaders.  For example, I’ve been in the classroom observing the teachers.  And I met with each of them about the observation that they did well, and at the end I gave them a certificate.  Just giving them the certificate made a big difference, and their work performance was better.  I gave each staff a choice of what goal they wanted to work on.    In which each staff goal was different.  Then we met as group to discuss what change from last week to today?  It also made a big difference in their classroom with the children behavior.

Describe why the structure of an Agile Organization might meet the goal of empowerment and partnership.

As stated in the text agile organization is one that can quickly react to changes in the market.  That means that companies can and do successfully respond to new competitors, technologies, and shifts in the market (Weiss, 2016 5.2 para1).  When employees change and are involved, they can make difference.

Provide an example from your experience as an employee or customer

I can honestly say that parents notice change in the classroom, when their child goes home and talk about the new activities they did.  And the parents come in and will discuss with me what the child says.  It also made the parents feel good that their child is learning.

BRYAN’S POST:

Good evening Class, 

Evaluate the four traits of organizational learning.

Organizational learning can be defined in four traits; constant readiness, continuous planning, improvised implementation, and action learning. Constant readiness can be described as a company is always or constantly ready to be able to adapt to any changes that may be implemented in the company. Continuous planning comes from the management or leadership from within the company ensuring that the plan is executed in the correct manner so that nothing so the plan can flow smoothly. Improvised implementation is when all of the members come together to work as a team to accomplish the plan or the mission. The last trait is action learning and can be described as learning through failures and attempts. Trying or implementing new ideas and plans will let a company know what works and what doesn’t work for them.

Provide examples of how learning and change can impact one another.

Learning and change work together because organizations can learn from change. When new changes are needed and implemented you are able to learn from how things were done in the past (positive and negative) and observe and take notes on how the new change is working. Sometimes changes work out for the best and sometimes they do not. Leaders must be somewhat flexible and willing to try new things so that an organization can improve in areas and keep up with competitors. Learning and change both have major influences on one another and can be seen in the four traits discussed earlier (Weis, 2016).

JEAN’S POST:

“Learning organizations can be defined according to four traits: constant readiness, continuous
planning, improvised implementation, and action learning” (Rowden, 2009).  Learning is the key to success in all aspects of our lives, this applies to organizations as well, as organizations act as a unit in constant competition for customers.  This constant competition drives companies willing to risk and apply learned lessons first to succeed, while others are to stiff to move anywhere, with bloated organizations and very little space for maneuver, Empowerment is a big piece of this as well.   When we look at the four trait we can see that all of them are geared towards flexibility, flexibility that allows companies to quickly react to markets, societal trends, new markets, etc..  The bottom line is that in order to make relevant change it has  to come from an experience or lesson learned, not out of thin air.  In discussion 1 we spoke about empowerment, and I feel as this discussion is connected to empowerment because in order for an organization to be flexible it has to empower at least the mid to low management levels, to hear ideas and act upon necessary changes, this is the only way changes work properly, with the right information.

Describe the basic differences in marketing tangible from intangible products.

Production is the creation of utilities. A utility is something useful and can be either a tangible or an intangible product (service).

1. Describe the basic differences in marketing tangible from intangible products.

Also, think about your current/past employer (or any company of your choice). 2. Provide a brief overview of the company, including whether it is a service, retail, or manufacturing company.  Identify some of the expenses that are incurred by the company and determine how each of these expenses would be classified using the terminology below.

Compare prevalence and incident rates of violent crime to personal estimates of violent crime

These are common statements heard daily, but what are the facts? Crime can be broken down and measured in many different ways. There are many different types of crime, including property crimes, violent crimes, white-collar crimes, and cybercrimes. The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program identifies violent crime as four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The number (incidences) of these four crimes has increased in the past decade due to population changes; however, in order to account for changing populations, the UCR uses a prevalence rate of crimes per 100,000 people. This allows for consistent reporting.

In this Discussion, you estimate the number of violent crimes that have occurred in a U.S. city, county, state, or region in the past year. You then compare your estimates to the actual numbers from the UCR.

Without consulting any resource material, estimate the number of crimes committed per 100,000 people for each of the following—murder, rape, and aggravated assault—that have occurred in a city, county, or state of your choosing in the U.S. in the past year. Also, estimate the percent of males versus females who commit the majority of crimes, and describe what you think is the most frequent offender/victim relationship. Post the name of the area you selected as well as your estimate of the number of each crime committed.

What strategies would you recommend in promoting Mrs. Li’s optimum functioning and health following her CVA? (Andrews & Boyle, Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care, 7th Edition).

Mrs. Li Huan, a 79-year-old Chinese American widow who lives alone in New York City’s Chinatown recently had a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke. Mrs. Li has right-sided paralysis with partial loss of voluntary movement and sensation in her right arm and leg. Mrs. Li has weak facial muscles, difficulty with speech, and drooling. She experiences numbness and tingling in her arms and legs. Mrs. Li is going to a rehabilitation center known for delivering culturally competent interprofessional care where she is cared for by a team of credentialed health care providers: Dr. Indira Patel, nurse J.J. Johnson, physical therapist Mohammad Abu Said, dietician Maria Gonzalez, and Chinese American herbalist, Chen Minzhe.

(Note: In traditional Chinese culture, a person’s last name or surname is written first, followed by his/her first name. Therefore, the patient’s last name is Li and the herbalist’s last name is Chen. It is proper etiquette to call a person of Chinese background by his/her title, in this case, Mrs. Li and Mr. Chen until the individual gives you permission to use his/her first name. To further confuse matters, many acculturated Chinese Americans are likely to reverse their first and last names in the typical US or Canadian order. Therefore, it is important to ask the patient, “What is your first name? What is your last name?” Note the correct order on the patient’s chart for other members of the team.)

Questions:

 

  1. How do members of the interprofessional team assess Mrs. Li’s literacy, diet, and medications, including herbal medicines being provided by her herbalist, Mr. Chen?
  2. How do the nurse and other members of the team determine if complementary or integrative treatments, such as medicinal herbs, are helpful, harmful, or neutral to Mrs. Li’s recovery?
  3. If you were seeking advice or consultation from a traditional Chinese herbalist in your community, how would you locate one?
  4. Why do patients seek treatment from alternative and integrative healers?
  5. How can credentialed health care providers work collaboratively with Mr. Chen to ensure that prescription medicines and herbs are compatible and that there are no adverse or harmful interactions between various medicines?
  6. What strategies would you recommend in promoting Mrs. Li’s optimum functioning and health following her CVA? (Andrews & Boyle, Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care, 7th Edition).
