This document provides instructions for a case analysis assignment for a management course. Students will work in teams to analyze one of two scenarios from the Negotiations for Life case study. They will discuss their assessments online and submit a 3-4 page collaborative report analyzing the conflict issues, relevant concepts, and potential solutions. The report should follow the provided format, including defining the major conflict, relevant components and relationships, and explaining the mechanisms causing the conflict while incorporating course concepts. The goal is to practice analyzing real-world conflicts, not find a single right solution.

Collaborative Case Analysis
Students will work in teams to prepare a collaborative
case analysis on the Negotiations for Life case (text
page 202). Each team will be assigned either Scenario
1 or Scenario 2 by the professor. Teams will discuss
their assessments in their team Discussion areas and
prepare an analysis and recommendation in a
collaborative report in the form of a paper. See
MGMT570: Guidelines for Case Analysis located in
Doc Sharing.

2. The length of paper should be three to four pages, not
including the cover page and references. APA style is
required for in-text citation and references.
Due date: In order to have a meaningful discussion,
one leader from each team will post the report in the
Overcoming Barriers discussion by Wednesday of
Week 5. In addition, you are required to submit in the
Dropbox for grading.
Some students initially find case analysis of conflict
problems to be difficult and uncomfortable. This is
due to the relative lack of structure of most dispute-
oriented problems. No correctly answered list of
^prequestions or mechanical process will lead to the
right resolution. In fact, there usually is no single,
definitively right solution to most managerial
problems. When analyzing a case, remember that
there are often many possible solutions. The goal is
not to find the solution, but to examine the case and
practice analyzing and solving real-world conflict
issues using the concepts and theories you learn about
in this course.
Our goal is to focus on the problem, the parties
involved, and to examine the case and to practice
analyzing and solving real-world conflict resolution
situations.

3. Please use the following format to guide your thinking
and to frame your written case analysis (if required).
This works if you are formally presenting a case
analysis or merely using the analysis for your own
discussion purposes.
Conflict Assessment: Part of your analysis is to define
the conflict and identify the issues, emotions, and
relationships involved. (Often there are multiple,
interacting conflict resolution issues). Look to any case
guide questions (if provided) for some conceptual
direction, but do not seek merely to address these
questions. (30 points)

" Identify the conflict resolution components.
" Remember: Often, the issues, emotions, and
relationships are directly described in the case,
whereas the source of the conflict is not.
" If necessary, indicate how organizational factors
affect the conflict resolution process.
Situation Analysis: Another part of the analysis is to
explain the mechanisms that are causing the conflict.

4. 0 Incorporate specific and relevant conflict resolution
concepts.
Avoid providing general or commonsensical responses
that do not incorporate course concepts, as well as
just simply summarizing case facts or examples.
0 Don’t make assumptions that cannot be supported
by the facts in the case.
0 Be wary of imposing personal opinions on the case
that cannot be supported by case facts or relevant
conflict resolution concepts; try not to place blame.
0 Avoid providing viewpoints that are sketchy or
