During our negotiation with D.G. Barnhouse (DGB), we intend to utilize an integrative bargaining strategy with management. Before coming to this conclusion, we weighed the advantages and disadvantages of a distributive approach, however, we eventually decided to take an integrative and predominantly interest based stance versus a position based stance in our negotiations after assessing internal and external environmental factors. In addition, we settled on this strategy because we ultimately believe that management and the union share at the very least, one fundamental common interest, which is the firm’s financial stability. That being said, even with our plans to use integrative bargaining, we still plan to negotiate assertively to achieve

Sam Stevens lives in an apartment building owned by his landlord, Mr. Quinn, where he has been working on an invention that plays the sound of a barking dog to scare off potential intruders. A national chain store has contacted Mr. Stevens, and would like to sell his product exclusively. Despite the fact that Mr. Stevens and the store never signed a physical contract, he verbally told a store manager several months ago that he would ship 1,000 units. Now, the chain store has just contacted Mr. Stevens via letter, demanding that he deliver the promised 1,000 units immediately (Southern New Hampshire University, n.d.).

Apart from increasing the customer base, exporting would also mean increased market share, and therefore increased profitability by lowering per unit cost. As per a general trend, an average order from international customer is often larger as compared to that from a domestic buyer. This means that exporting its toys can result in an increase in Innospark’s perceived size and stature. Additionally, it will also improve its competitive position, as compared to other similar-sized startups in its sector. Through growth in business, Innospark may also look at overseas licensing, franchising, or may even set up its production unit in Poland. Additionally, the educational toys that Innospark is offering are very unique and innovative in nature. This opportunity can be exploited by commanding greater profit margins in Poland than in Lithuania.

Dr. Hawkins should incorporate the step-wise approach of utilitarianism to appropriately handle this situation (Veatch, Haddad). The first step involves what you could do in a certain situation (Haddad). Dr. Hawkins could either refuse to give Dr. Petrov the medications or he could ignore the hospital’s and FDA’s policy. Next, he needs to look at the consequences of his actions, good or bad (Haddad). If he refused to give Dr. Petrov the medications, he would be ignoring the needs of a population. However, he would be protecting them from the potential harm of expiring prescriptions. By allowing the donation, he would be able to provide these patients with access to medications limited in their country. Dr. Hawkins’ next step would be to weigh

Mattel is considered one of the most leading industry when it comes to the invention of toys and video games. Mattel is also a leading brand company that researches and develops new toys and then buys or license them from inventors. But what exactly are they doing to convince us consumers to buy their products? For the past decades now, Barbie dolls mainly created by Mattel have grown tremendously and have made a huge impact to children’s lives. Kids are influenced by what they see on television and therefore automatically drawn to imitate whatever characters they seem to be interesting. Their characters, dressing, and responsibility influence young children to change dramatically. Based on “A Rhetorical Analysis of Amy Lin’s Article”, the writer Amy Lin argues that Barbie dolls and all its associated products fosters or encourage a consumerist ethos in young girls (children), I agree that Barbie dolls not only influence children based on materialism but it also encourages a false view of reality. In the article by Amy Lin, “given that Barbie has become “the alpha doll” (Talbot 74) for girls in today’s popular culture, young female consumers clearly associate only good things with Barbie.” The product itself has become a tradition handed down from mother to daughter or a rite of passage that most girls go through. “In this way, excessive consumption and the effects of branding are handed down as well, as Barbie dolls are
