        2. Affirmative action, commonly referred to as positive discrimination, is a policy created to help disadvantaged and minority groups overcome discriminatory workplace practices. Despite this, the policies can also be detrimental to an organization. Even though they are meant to address discrimination, affirmative action policies will trigger reverse discrimination (Lee & Mondi, 2018). This is because the policies will lead to the discrimination of employees from non-disadvantaged backgrounds. Talented employees might not receive equal opportunities simply because they do not belong to a minority or disadvantaged group (Lee & Mondi, 2018). This might create conflicts between employees from minority and disadvantaged groups with those who do not belong to these groups (Lee & Mondi, 2018). Besides this, affirmative action

This assignment asks you to apply the model for dissecting the actors in international incidents that will be covered in Session 6 (The Chinese Rare Earth Elements Case Study), to a different clash between nations of your choice.

This assignment is designed to make sure you understand and master those analytical ideas. If you do so, you will be able to offer a better explanation of geopolitics and international incidents than 99% of all business people.

Document Preparation

  • 1500 words maximum, double-spaced, excluding (optional) appendices.
  • The main body of the text should be complete sentences: your report should not just be a collection of bullet points.
  • If you use appendices (which is strongly encouraged), please refer to them in the text. Please don’t just tack on a bunch of stuff and call it an appendix, and make me deduce how it supports your argument.
  • Please employ proper citation of all outside sources used, if any, i.e. newspaper articles, industry reports, statistics, URLs, etc. I don’t care about the style, but I would like to be able to find the source if I choose to.
  • Please define any terminology crucial to your argument
  • Avoid submitting “word soup”. Clarity of argument and organization counts.

Analyzing Actors

 

Analyzing international “incidents” is an important part of geopolitics and business strategy. When “countries” clash, what is really going on? Who are the main actors? What is driving the dynamics of the situation?

Please choose a foreign policy incident/clash between two nations and then use the three Allison Frameworks (Models I, II and III) introduced in Session 6, to analyze it. Please briefly describe the incident itself, and then explain whether you think Allison’s Models, I, II or III – or some combination of them! – offers the best framework for understanding the situation, and the evidence you find to support this belief.

In other words, you should use the analytical models that we applied to Chinese Rare Earth Elements in session 6 to a different incident or situation.

The incident can be recent or several decades old, but a good choice will include elements that allow you to use all three models to notice different actors and deduce different motives.

You may want to construct a timeline or a chronology or other tools to organize your thoughts, but this is not required. (Recommended)

It will be very hard to find a “pure” Model I, II, or II case – reality is messy – so it is OK to say that the case you have chosen has elements of each. What I am looking for is that you use the Allison models to provide a nuanced analytic view of a particular incident, and you then articulate a clear position about what is “really” going on.

This is NOT intended primarily as a research paper; it is designed to increase your familiarity with ways of interpreting/dissecting international incidents and international actors using the structured methodology we will use in session six. As that case will demonstrate, even four articles can result in a quite nuanced and complex analysis. The challenge in analyzing international incidents is rarely about finding more information; it is about seeing what is there and thinking about what it means!

However, in Putin’s eyes, this is an indication of the disintegration of Historical Russia, and he seeks to reverse that. He claims that Ukrainians and Russians are one people and that the country is just an “anti-Russia” project. The separatist rebellion in Crimea was fueled by Russia, and it has continually been against Ukraine’s collaboration with NATO and the European Union (Soares de Lima & Albuquerque, 2020). However, most global leaders agree that Russia’s invasion is wrong and total ignorance of Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty. Most believe that his aim is to build a Russian empire and restore Russia’s position as a powerhouse in Europe (Kirby, 2022, May 9). Russia’s aim is clearly to fundamentally redefine the European status quo in line with its vision and interests.

Chief human resources officer.

As a first step toward crafting your discussion post, review the module resources. Then, apply the six types of power as discussed in the module resources to the Netflix case study, which you read about last week.

  1. Coercive Power
  2. Legitimate Power
  3. Reward Power
  4. Referent Power
  5. Expert Power
  6. Multidimensional Power

Consider the types of power that Sharon Slade, the chief human resources officer (CHRO) at Netflix, has in this situation. In your initial post, first describe the six types of power Sharon possesses. Then, provide examples that show how Sharon may exhibit this type of power during the negotiations. Finally, provide a reason why this type of power is important in this setting. Use the example below as a guide.

Example—Expert power: This is the power that comes from the thought that a person has expert-level knowledge of a topic or high-level skill. For example, Sharon has power in human resource matters, as she has great knowledge of the company’s policies and the law during the negotiations to drive a fair bargain.

Then, review at least two of your classmates’ posts. In your replies, share (if possible) an example of a leader for whom you have worked that exhibited one or more types of power. Include your thoughts about the effectiveness of this type of power in a work setting. You can use the feedback on your post as you craft Part B of Section I: Summary for Milestone One and your final project.

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.

Requirements: 1-2 Pages

Referent Power gives one the ability to influence others through their personality. Leaders who use their hard work as examples motivate others to do better. Sharon is well known to be tough in her positions but still fair in her interactions. When she put Alice on the PPI process, Alice started changing her attitude toward Sharon, and she started improving her performance. That enabled Alice and Sharon to come into a successful negotiation. Referent power is important because it positively influences other people’s attitudes (Laub, Laub, & Ballenger. 2018). Expert Power, on the other hand, comes from an individual’s expertise in a particular subject. Sharon has extensive knowledge of human resource practices and labor laws from working at GE. With her knowledge and Power, Sharon will utilize the power to influence Alice towards the negotiation process. The benefit of this power is that it enables people to understand situations and suggest solutions based on their skills, improving their confidence.

Arbitration.

/in , /by

(CLO5, 7) Is arbitration an option in human resource problems? How do employees enter arbitration? How is the process or rules of arbitration different from those in courts?

Requirements: 200 words

Answer preview

, the employer must provide an arbitration contract that includes all the details about the arbitration agreement. Then, the employee must read and fully understand the contract terms, so they do not sign a contract that benefits the employer. However, if the employment contract includes an employment arbitration clause, the employee must sign the agreement because any employment disputes will be resolved through arbitration.

Litigation is a public procedure that follows established rules that govern the process. On the contrary, arbitration resolves issues by listening and referring to written documents without following set procedures (Ortolani, 2019).  Also, litigation is time-consuming and costly as the parties must follow formal procedural rules and evidence rules, while arbitration occurs whenever the arbitrator has been appointed. Litigation also involves pre-trial procedures, while arbitration is less costly due to compressed processes.

E-Procurement can be described as the process where institutions or businesses request, order, and buy products or services via the online platform. In most cases, electronic procurement is a b2b process. Unlike e-commerce, eProcurement utilizes suppliers in a closed system and is only available to businesses that are only registered to a particular supplier system (Ronchi, Brun, Golini, & Fan, 2010). In other words, it facilitates interactions between businesses and customers via bids and so on. It is valuable to the organization as they easily access the customers. Moreover, it makes it easier for customers to make purchases. It allows the customers to have a variety of goods and services they may opt to buy.

Corporate philanthropy or giving is quickly becoming a vital determinant of organizational success, particularly in today’s highly competitive and dynamic business environments. More and more organizations are aligning their business goals and resources with philanthropy (Kabongo et al., 2013). Corporate philanthropy refers to organizations giving part of their resources and profits to non-profits to improve the welfare of the communities they serve (Kabongo et al., 2013). Unlike corporate social responsibility, corporate philanthropy extends beyond the confines of a society’s statutory or legal requirements seeking highly desirable developmental initiatives. Essentially, this means that corporate philanthropy is a discretionary responsibility over and above the ethical, legal, and economic obligations organizations have to society and the communities they serve (Kabongo et al., 2013). This dynamic relationship between communities and organizations has evolved over the years. These shifts can be largely
