Key Assignment
The chief operations officer (COO) reviewed your negotiation strategy planning template and decided that you and your team are ready to brief the chief executive officer (CEO). He would like you to review the negotiation scenario with your team and prepare a PowerPoint presentation to the CEO for final approval.
Negotiation Scenario
Introduction
This scenario provides the background and essential information elements for a contract negotiation between ABC Manufacturing Company and XYZ Plastics. This scenario is designed to stimulate a discussion of the negotiation process, contract pricing, negotiation strategy, techniques, and ethics.
Scenario Description
Overview
You will assume the role of the regional manager for ABC Manufacturing Company. Your company manufactures DELAMIX blenders, and you are negotiating terms with a supplier of a critical component in your manufacturing process (XYZ Plastics). You receive 1,300 units monthly at a delivered cost of $2.50 per unit. You project needing 1,900 units for the next 612 months and perhaps as many as 2,000 units ongoing after that. You have been satisfied with the suppliers quality; however, late deliveries have forced you to schedule overtime to meet customer orders. An out-of-state vendor (QMP Imports) has offered you a 10% discount for the 2,000 units per month for a one-year contract. Your boss has authorized a contract negotiation team of 23 members. The COO would like to reduce the overall contract price by 1015%. The CEO negotiated the initial contract with XYZ Plastics when he started the company and would like to continue working with the company because of demonstrated quality, responsiveness, and loyalty.
Background
The COO of ABC Manufacturing and the senior vice president of XYZ Plastics have been meeting and talking frequently regarding the vendor contract renegotiation. XYZ Plastics is an industry leader and has been the primary vendor to ABC Manufacturing for 42 years. XYZ Plastics contracted a new raw materials provider to reduce material shortages. XYZ Plastics is aware that its past delivery issues are a major discussion point, and it is prepared to offer a reduction in unit price (to be negotiated) along with a guarantee of on-time delivery before or on the required delivery date. Currently, XYZ is the only company in the United States that manufactures this part. ABC Manufacturing Company would like to continue to claim made in the U.S. in its advertising.
XYZ Plastics is aware that ABC Manufacturing Company will require additional units in the out-years and would like to secure the contract for continued growth. A new member of the ABC Manufacturing Company team has a contact in XYZ Plastics that offered to provide information on the manufacturing cost and profit per unit and other confidential proprietary information in exchange for a finders fee.
Task Description

Your presentation should follow the format of the Negotiation Strategy Planning Template. You will review the negotiation scenario and develop each section based on the information provided. This will be your final Key Assignment Negotiation Strategy Presentation for the CEO. The final presentation will consist of 1215 PowerPoint slides with 100200 words of speaker notes per slide. The presentation should have the following sections:
Purpose of negotiation
Desired outcome
Pertinent information
Interests, desires, and motivations
Sources of power
Walk-away alternative
Ethical considerations
Negotiation team
Recommended negotiation strategy
You will submit your presentation and your final Negotiation Strategy Planning Template.
Discussion Question
1. Discussion question for Week 5. I want you to write a Discussion about compensation and benefits. Assume you are Vice President of Human Resources for a nonprofit human services organization. I want you to write a 300-word summary of the compensation and benefits plan that you would like to offer employees. What forms will your compensation include? What forms will your benefits include? There are plenty of ideas in Chapters 7 and 8 that you can use to write your Discussion Thread. Try to shoot for 300 words.
Lets assume you are Senior VP of Human Resources for HelpMax, a respected regional nonprofit human services organization. Your organizations financial position is solid, but not overflowing with money. That means you have the financial resources necessary to recruit and retain people; you can be competitive. The type of people you want to recruit are college educated with bachelors degrees, masters degrees or doctorates. You want to recruit people for the long term; career employees. Within the past year three of your organizations valuable people have resigned and joined other nonprofit organizations. The words of one of the three departing employees reflected the feelings of all three. The compensation and benefits structure at HelpMax is not competitive. HelpMax seems to feel that, because we are a non-profit, workers should be satisfied to receive compensation and benefits that do not meet the workers day-to-day needs to pay their bills. For example, some HelpMax employees have found it necessary to work a second job. As another example, the HelpMax retirement plan is not generous, and I am concerned that it would not be adequate for me to live on when I retire. If HelpMax wants to be a career employer of professional people, they need to build up their retirement plan. I am moving to a nonprofit organization that uses a compensation and benefits structure that is appropriate for a professional, career workforce. The Board of Directors was made aware of the departure of these three employees resignations. The Board passed a resolution chartering you to draft recommendations to upgrade the compensation and benefits plan for HelpMax. You have decided to begin your task by writing a 300-word summary of the elements that should be included in your recommendation.

Mediation and Moderation
For Week 11, I would like you to apply your knowledge of multivariate correlational studies. Please follow the instructions below carefully and answer all parts of the instructions.
Discussion Post Instructions: In one post, include the following information:
1) Choose two psychological variables whose bivariate relationship is of interest to you. These should be psychological in nature and not just any two variables.
For example, you may be interested in the relationship between intelligence and general life satisfaction. These would both be psychological variables because they measure the mind and/or behavior.
2) Give an example of a potential mediating variable that explains why the bivariate relationship exists between your two variables. Clearly explain your response to demonstrate your understanding of mediation.
For example, I may hypothesize that the mediator between intelligence and general life satisfaction is higher income. Individuals with higher intelligence get higher paying jobs and that higher income then leads to higher general life satisfaction.
3) Give an example of a potential moderating variable that explains for whom the bivariate relationship exists. Clearly explain your response to demonstrate your understanding of moderation.
For example, I may hypothesize that the relationship between intelligence and general life satisfaction is moderated by biological sex. Perhaps the correlation coefficient between intelligence and general life satisfaction is large, positive, and significant for females but zero and not significant for males. In other words, the relationship between intelligence and general life satisfaction is moderated by biological sex.
