No-win situation

My boyfriend Brant is no cow, so it’s very easy to push him over. Brant’s “pushover” ways are because of his lose/win paradigm. There are many paradigms of interactions and everybody has displayed them all before, but Brant loves to practice the lose/win paradigm the most. A lose/win paradigm is an interaction where Brant loses in his favor while the other person gets their way and wins. Whether he is interacting with me, his teachers, his friends or even his own sister, a lot of the time he gives up what he wants to make the other person happy. He doesn’t mind putting other people’s wants before his own needs, like staying up on an important day to booking too many plans for the day. Though one day that may bite him in the butt, more than…

(2009)4 consider remanufacturing a “win-win-win” situation: “Customers can obtain remanufactured products cheaper, companies reduce their costs and they earn more and the environment benefits.” That said, remanufacturing can support all the three basic pillars of Sustainable Development (Environmental, Economic, Social).

employees. Using these types of forums will allow employees to voice their concerns in a non-threating way and allow free flow of thoughts and ideas. Employees who share their ideas are more committed to change and contribute positively to a corporation. This will allow the company to maintain a competitive advantage over its competitors. The last technique, negotiation, utilizes the process of identifying concerns surrounding the change and addressing each of those concerns in a way that is…

“In corporate America today, you will not get what you ask for; you will get what you negotiate for.” (Ackermann, 2008) I have heard people say many times, “What’s in it for me?” Therefore, in order to actually get what you want, you should definitely be prepared to negotiate. Being able to negotiate efficiently is not something that comes easily to most people. Many of us need training to obtain effective negotiation skills. Many of us never realize that we need negotiation skills until we are…

when the local economy took a turn for the worst it became harder and harder to find local suppliers to fill the gaps. With the value of the Brazilian dollar, real, losing value it became very expensive to fill the gaps with exported suppliers. (The Brazilian government increased the taxes on all exported suppliers and supplier goods used on projects in their country.) Some negative consequences of conflict can undermine an organization’s efforts. However, handled correctly, conflict can…

cultural negotiation, I learn silence is a powerful tool. Never except the first offer. You can make the other side feel bad and easily can get more from the other party. My goal is to learn how to be more comfortable when negotiating with people so I don’t need to struggle when given a situation to negotiate at work in the future. I have strength and weakness that I want to improve to become a better negotiator. I like to learn more negotiation tactics that can help me achieve the outcome, I…

Like using the escapist style, competitive style and cooperative style to manage the conflict. Also, I learnt that managing the conflict well can be beneficial to one another. So that I can achieve the win-win situation which both of us can meet our goals and our relationship can be improved. It will be useful in my life since I will have lots of chances to handle a conflict. If I own different great communication skills, I can avoid the direct conflict and fighting that might be harmful to the…

It was, as Bill afterward expressed it, "during a moment of temporary mental apparition"; but we didn't find that out till later. In the short story “Ransom for Red Chief” two men set up a plan that they are going to kidnap a boy named Red Chief, thinking that they will kidnap him, and then when the parents come bagging to get him back, make them pay them. After they kidnap Red Chief, it ends up being a mess and he ends up causing much trouble. In the end, the two men end up giving the parents…

a state department representative (which may well be social worker too), on what ethical grounds can you feel justified in enforcing the law? The state department representative an ethical responsibility to “take adequate measures to discourage, prevent, expose, and correct the unethical conduct of colleagues” (National Association of Social Workers, 2008). The social worker is not acting ethical following the enactment of the new policy as she continues to allow the paraprofessionals to provide…
