...Assignment: Read the Wall and Callister article on conflict and its management. Write a 4-6 pages critique in which you describe a conflict that took place in your organization and analyze it according to the following questions: 1. All the definitions of conflict describe it as a process in which one party perceives that its interests are being opposed or negatively affected by another party. How the conflict you describe fits within this description? 2. What are/were the causes for the conflict you describe? To which of the categories that appear in the article the causes you describe fit? 3. Were there any individual characteristics that contributed to the generation of this conflict, what these characteristics are? 4. How did the conflict affect the organization? Be specific when answering this question and describe any effect on individuals, relationships, communications, behaviors, structure, and issues. 5. Describe how the conflict was resolved. If it wasn’t, suggest de-escalation tactics you suggest to be used in this case. Organization Overview In order to understand the potential for conflict at different levels I have to describe the complexity of the organization that I served in. I was deployed and part of a multi-service, multi-component organization. This in itself made it a bit challenging because of the different cultures. The post I was assigned to was made up of Navy personnel, Army personnel and Airforce personnel. To break it...

...I will be conducting a critique of the assigned reading articles in Module Five. I will begin by explaining the relationship between organizational behavior and human behaviors. I will then analyze how specific organizational designs can elicit predictable attitudes and motivations. Lastly, I will propose an answer to whether it is possible to generalize and say that a certain structure is better than others. Defining the Issue An organization’s structure plays a large role in how things will get accomplished by employees within the structure. “The process of design must be complementary with the objectives. This means the design and implementation process is critical.” (Smith, n.d.) If you want flexibility, responsibility, etc. then these elements must be involved in the design of the organization’s structure. “We do not get participative highly effective organizations by fiat.” (Smith, n.d.) There are many positive and negative effects that a structure can have depending on how it is implemented in an organization. “Task and organization design has to be oriented toward improving both the technical and the human components of the organization. The process of design must address the need for variation and meaning in work. It has to take into account the needs for continuous learning, involvement in decision-making, help and support between colleagues, and meaningful relationship between work and outside society, a desirable future.” (Smith, n.d.) The key to any...

...Trident University Module 1 Case Assignment MGT501 Management and Organizational Behavior In this case study I will analyze Ms. Myers journey to a different culture than she was used to how it went wrong and what she might have done better to try and better prepare herself for the journey that she thought she could handle. I’ll analyze the problem using Hofstede’s five dimensions of culture to compare Korean and American assumptions. I will also make recommendations to her management style that might have helped accommodate the Korean environment. Linda Myers journey started out with good intentions and she felt she had a good idea of what she was getting herself into since she had been consulting for Asian firms and thought that she understood the culture well enough to fit in. Her problem was also compounded by the fact that she would be a woman trying to trail blaze into a field and culture dominated by men. It definitely did not help that she didn’t speak the language and from the reading doesn’t appear to have tried to really learn it instead relying on her associates to speak to her in English or having to use an interpreter. She came into the job with big ambitions and plans to change her Korean associate’s way of doing business not understanding that they didn’t want to change. Now let’s look at Hofstede’s five dimensions of culture to compare Korean and American assumptions. First, Power Distance (P/D) According to Mind Tools: This refers to the degree of...

...Bus 305 Week5 Module 5 Case March 17, 2010 Recessions and Economic Stimulus A recession is a period of decline in total output, income, employment, and trade. This downturn, which last 6 months or more, is marked by the widespread contraction of business activity in many sectors of the economy. But because many prices are downwardly inflexible, the price level is likely to fall only if the recession is severe and prolonged-that is, only if a depression occurs. Why a recession might occur? The aggregate demand aggregate supply model is a variable-price model that enables analysis of simultaneous changes of real GDP and the price level. The aggregate demand curve is down sloping because of the real-balances effect, the interest-rate effect, and the foreign purchases effect. The real-balance effect indicates that inflation reduces the real value or purchasing power of fixed-value financial assets, held by households, causing cutback in consumer spending. The interest-rate effect means that, with a specific supply of money, a higher price level increases the demand for money, thereby raising the interest rate and reducing investment purchases. The foreign purchases effect suggests that an increase in one country’s price level relative to the price level relative to the price levels in other countries reduces the net export component of that nation’s aggregate demand. The determinants of aggregate demand consist of change in consumer spending (consumer...

...Trident University Christopher R. Collier Module Two: SLP, Managing Individual Behavior MGT501 Management and Organizational Behavior Dr. Marva Dixon 30 January 201 Method and Results of Testing The results of my Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test™ were that I was an ISTJ which stands for Introverted, Sensing, Thinking and Judging. My specific scores in each of the categories were: Introvert (22%), Sensing (25%), Thinking (12%), and Judging (67%). (Leverage Your Personality Type, n.d.) The test revealed that I have a “slight preference of Introversion over Extraversion, a moderate preference of Sensing over Intuition, a slight preference of Thinking over Feeling, and a distinctive preference of Judging over Perceiving.” (Leverage Your Personality Type, n.d.) Based on my results, proposed career paths would be: “management, administrative management, accounting, and computer programming.” (Of Interest, n.d) Results of Testing Identification of Strengths and Weaknesses One of my main strengths is that due to my preference in two categories being only slight margins, depending on a given situation my responses may be from the opposite category. This means I, at times, can also be extraverted and feeling. In management this would come in quite handy as it would mean that I would feel comfortable in different roles and situations. Another strength that I possess is that due to my introverted preference, “feeling is inferred, or expressed nonverbally, through eye contact...

...Trident university international | Module 2 Case Assignment | Conflict Management | | Jessica Cupo | 6/11/2012 | | Introduction Conflict occurs regularly within the military organizational structure on the interpersonal, intergroup, inter-organizational, and international levels. A relevant example of interpersonal conflict and resolution recently presented itself between a peer and me in my current role as Awards and Decorations Officer in Charge. A combination of personality, values, communication, and previous interaction bias resulted in the escalation of an interpersonal conflict which required attention in order to regain productivity in the program. As a leader or a team member, a misstep in an interpersonal conflict results in loss of productivity, escalation of bias, and misinterpretation of intentions. Learning from previous conflicts helps to establish de-escalation techniques and facilitate better work-group dynamics. Scenario As the office in charge of a program within my squadron, a conflict recently developed between myself and a peer assigned to my shop for tasking and assigning office duties. The other Captain had recently been removed from his primary job for failing to meet the standards and expectations required. The other Captain and I were commissioned from the same University in the same year group and therefore equals in rank. Due to the circumstances, I was put in a position of authority over the individual and required to give...

Strategy Trident University Dr. James Marion, Core Professor October 25, 2011 To have a successful organization in today’s economy; employees must be given the tools needed to keep up with the changing market. Many top executives have made tough decisions and have made good decisions and poor decisions along the way regarding Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence (BI) is a term that refers to a variety of software applications used to analyze an organization’s data. It is a discipline made up of several activities, including data mining, analytical processing, query and report writing. This paper will discuss two Business Intelligence case studies and lessons learned from the studies regarding creating, implementing, and using business intelligence. LESSONS LEARNED Reviewing Marshfield Clinic’s early investment in an electronic patient records system is a concern. Although many clinics are turning to electronic patient records now, an early investment may mean that the system they elected to implement is not capable with newer technologies that management may want to incorporate in the future. Not anticipating changes and making preparations for it could cause issues later. Because this system has been utilized by the clinic for a period of time, did they...

...Reflecting on my experience in the MGT 501 class over the last 3 months, l would say it was an eye opener in the sense that the course opened me up to a whole world of information that was entirely new to me. After completing group and individual work for 12 weeks, I would say that l have learned quite a lot from my group in the discussion classes and this has had a positive effect on the way me and the way l interact in the workplace. This essay will focus on what l took away from the course and on how the experiences in this class will shape my future interaction especially in the workplace. For me, the purpose of the MGT 501 course is to present a systemic knowledge about people and workings within organizations that can be used to enhance individual and organizational effectiveness in the work place. MGT 501 introduced organizational behavior from several perspectives in the sense of explaining the meaning and the reason why organizational behavior is useful. It showed me how to develop skills in organizational behavior like leadership skills, personality and learning skills. It also presented a frame work of understanding the field. A very important aspect of this course was to be able to make sense of any organization in which l am placed or l find myself in the future. I believe without a doubt that after taking this course, l can adequately answer questions as to what is going on within an my organization at least from a human stand point. Apart from helping me understand...

...MGT 501 Module 1 Case Analysis: The Socio-Technical Approach Today’s corporations have experienced many organizational changes that affect how managers allocate their time. The balance of time spent between managing people and managing production is critical for a company to be successful. Along with this balance, one must include how technology affects the corporation’s success. One way to look at how the organization within a company is designed is by way of the socio-technical system (STS). The components of a STS include the people who work within the organization—the social subsystem, and the required technology to produce work—the technical subsystem. These two subsystems must be jointly optimized for an organization to function at its peak performance. In this paper, I will be examining a case study by Dr. George Callaghan entitled “Socio-Technical Systems and Call Centers: A Case Study Investigation.” (Callaghan, 2001) I will describe how the “socio” part of the STS causes the Telebank Call Center to be something other than a perfectly smoothly functioning machine. In doing this, I will break down the “socio” and technical aspects of the call center along with the kind of control the management has on each and the effects this control has. Finally, I will explore how the interaction between the two components of the STS affects the management of this call center. The working environment at Telebank is essentially a flat...
