The Dispute Let us start off this week’s assignment by looking at what this dispute means for each party (Kelly and Mr. Higashi) presented in this week’s case study.

This study has so many factors that affected the situation, we will start off by looking at some of the factors from Kelly. One major factor that can be seen is when Kelly is selected to go to Japan for the new job she assumes her previous four month stay in the country has prepared her for this job and she forgoes the CLAIR immersion training. Kelly was also not prepared to be placed in a small provincial town and deal with the hierarchy of a traditional Japanese office. Several times throughout the case study it is stated that Kelly does not respect Mr. Higashi because she believed that his Japanese leadership style and the way he interacted with her was very chauvinistic and that he was not a very good manager. Finally Kelly and her fellow ALTs did not respect Mr. Higashi’s leadership abilities, they believed him to be inept at his job and only concerned with earning the advancement to the position of principal (Lewicki, Saunders, & Barry, …show more content…

Another major factor that appears to have had great influence on this situation was the attitude and behavior of the ALTs (Mark and Suzanne) they both disliked Mr. Higashi and openly complained about his incompetence and the Japanese style of management. Ultimately it can be said that both sides in this issue did not fully understand or respect the other party.

    This resilience has been shown to help managers to enable their staff to withstand the changing needs of the healthcare system. However, this is not something that can be taught, and is not a trait but more of a state of mind including being realistic, in the moment, aware and prepared (Countu, 2002). One main criticism of this observation is that we will have no way of knowing whether the staff were acting as they usually would or whether they were acting differently as they were aware they were being observed, as this has been shown to change the nature of a person’s behaviour and is more commonly referred to as the “Hawthore Effect” (Campbell, Maxey and Watson, 1995). Another key issue is that again these views are subjective and emotion/demeaner are not always universally interpreted.

    The case “Alpha – Beta” is a very interesting case, which could be considered as one of my most favorable cases so far. What interested me was the fact that we had to act totally different from our conventional style. In fact, we were asked to behave collectively, formally, indirectly, patiently, unemotionally and passively. Although we could not make the deal, we all found this outcome understandable and predictable. What we learned from the exercise was to be aware of the existence of cross-cultural differences as well as how these differences affect our negotiation outcomes, then find out what should we do in the similar negotiation in our future.
