Negotiating Power and Politics

Case Study Unit 4 – Negotiating Power and Politics Choose a famous business conflict. It could be one you’re familiar with or you may choose something “new to you”. It can be a conflict that has been resolved or is ongoing. Ensure the conflict you choose has enough depth and information for a thorough analysis. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

Steve Jobs vs Steve Wozniak
Elon Musk vs the Tesla Board
Bill Gates vs. Paul Allen
Sheryl Sandberg vs. Facebook (Meta) Board
Michael Eisner vs. Roy E. Disney
Mark Zuckerberg vs. take your pick

2. Provide a detailed yet concise overview of the conflict. Include the key players core issues timeline consequences (both positive and negative) and current status of the conflict. , Who is/was “fighting”; what are/were they fighting about; how long has/had it been going on; what are/were the consequences; is the conflict over or is it still going?

3. Identify the types of power each party wielded and provide examples.,

4. Identify the political tactics used and provide examples.,

5. Using all of your resources (I’ve given you a TON this week in the supplemental material but feel free to dig up more – make sure you’re using citations appropriately) analyze the conflict. ,Assess whether the conflict is healthy or unhealthy. , Discuss the strategies used by both parties such as collaboration avoidance competition etc.,

6. Finally, tell me how you would fix it based on what you have learned. Don’t tell me you’re going to sit them in a room together to hash it out – that NEVER works – people say they’re fine, and I promise, they’re not – nothing changes, except now they’re just subversive with their conflict…

Clearly define the role you will take in resolving the conflict (outsider looking in, consultant brought in, Chairman of the Board, largest shareholder, Venture Capitalist brought in to take over).
Specify the leadership style(s) you will use
Detail the influence tactics you will employ, such as rational persuasion, inspirational appeals, or consultation.

Provide a step-by-step plan for resolution. If using a coach, specify their role, expertise, and the strategies they will employ, and final outcome.

Consider legal, ethical, and practical implications of your actions (including firing or other drastic measures).
You must come up with a legitimate plan – not “I’m tired of the bs, I’m shutting it down and moving to Costa Rica”, though I’m sure many would prefer to do that…

Formatting:

Use APA or MLA format (whichever you’re most familiar with)
Make sure you include an introduction and conclusion.
3.5-ish page double spaced paper. 4.75 pages is fine, so is 5.75. 10 pages is not ok; neither is 3. Cover pages and references don’t count as part of the requirement.
12-point font, normal margins, no extra spaces between paragraphs to make it look longer, blah blah blah…
If you work with someone else, you should turn in a single document that flows like one paper. Please don’t turn in two 2.5-page papers that you stuck together five minutes before the deadline. Make sure both names are on the paper.
Upload a word.doc. Please don’t send me a google.doc because half the time I can’t open them, and it makes me grumpy.
Papers will be checked for plagiarism and AI generation

Martha’s heart

By Academic Wizard Blog

An ECG of Martha’s heart demonstrated an elevated ST segment., What are the physiologic effects of myocardial ischemia that produce this finding? ,What variables affect the ECG tracing of a patient with ACS?,
What are the benefits of administering fibrinolytic therapy nitroglycerin and oxygen in the early management of STEMI?,
What is the inflammatory response in the postinfarction recovery period?, Why will Martha’s heart function be compromised after her STEMI?,

Martha had just finished dinner with her husband, and they had just sat down to watch television. She is 72 years old and has had a history of angina. Shortly after they sat down, Martha said she had indigestion and went to take some antacid tablets. An hour later, she began to feel warm, restless, and anxious. Her husband noticed she was looking pale and said he would take her to a nearby walk-in clinic. By the time they arrived, Martha said her left arm and shoulder were sore. Suspecting Martha was having a heart attack, her husband turned the car around and rushed her to the hospital. Three hours after the onset of her symptoms, Martha was receiving oxygen, fibrinolytic therapy, and nitroglycerin in the emergency ward. Afterward, she was moved to the cardiac unit for STEMI.
