* Decision criteria 2: Bert’s best decision would be in deciding what he really wants to achieve out of his job (for ex. a leadership position so that he can have a voice and make decisions within the organization). In doing so, Bert could gain influential status within the company, thus resulting in an increase of his power.
Root problem 3: Communication
Analysis topic 3: The Negotiation Process
Bert did not effectively communicate with his boss and he simply skipped through the mandatory stages in the negotiation process. This is evident when Bert was discussing his pay with his boss. He missed vital steps in the negotiation process. The negotiation process contains several subsidiary processes which include; developing a strategy, defining ground rules, clarification and justification, bargaining and problem solving, and closure and implementation. However, Bert simply jumped from the developing a strategy process, which included; Bert’s realization of who he needs to contact (his boss), where to find out information regarding the differences in pay cheques, and his formulation of a plan to contact his boss regarding various issues. He then merged his ideas from the developing a strategy process directly into the closure and implementation process. Bert’s closure and

In the past, the booming economy had allowed for year to year increase in their sales because people had larger discretionary incomes. But due to the recession, smaller independent retailers had to markdown their items in order to stay in business because designer outlet stores are getting more traffic; so will Harry Rosen follow in suit? Or in order to maintain the integrity of the quality products they offer, will they continue their higher pricing and settle for a lower market share?

A case study is a specific instance that is frequently designed to illustrate a more general principle (Nisbet and Watt, 1984). Hitchock and Hughes (1995) further suggest that the case study approach is particularly valuable when the researcher has little control over evens. Case studies strives to portray ‘what it like’ to be a particular situation, to catch up reality and ‘thick description’ (Geertz, 1973) of participants’ lives experiences of, thoughts about and feelings for a situation. They involve looking at a case or phenomenon in its real-life context, usually employing many types of data (Robson, 2002). It is important in case studies for events and situations to be allowed to speak for themselves, rather than to be largely interpreted, evaluated or judged by the researcher. In this respect the case study is akin to the television documentary. Case studies can make theoretical statements, but, like other forms of research and human sciences, these must be supported by the evidence presented.
