Leaders set the tone for an organization, provide examples for behavior and problem solving, and have influence over organizational behavior. Leaders align their methodology through the application of managing processes and people. Differences among individuals, however, can create challenges and, in many cases, lead to conflict. 

1. Consider your organization or an organization you research (provide the URL to the organization). Identify ways to handle conflict within the workplace that may occur with individuals from different cultures. 
2. As a leader, what things must you consider when dealing with a conflict of this nature, and what steps would you take to deal with the conflict?  
3. Practical Application: Describe a conflict you handled in your professional life. How did you respond to someone challenging your viewpoint? What are some best practices for dealing with conflict in this type of situation (be sure to share specific recommendations). 
4. Identify two effective de-escalation techniques that impact leadership decision-making in a global society. Describe how they are applied in the organizational structure.

Review the following lectures:

• Training Methods
• Traditional Methods
• Impact of Technology on Training and Learning

Introduction:

You are a senior program manager for corporate training and development for a prestigious corporate training and education company. Your assignment is based on the following information.

Total Car Maintenance LLC (TCM) is a nation-wide company that wants to supply sales, service, and solutions of the highest quality to customers. Their objectives are to make it affordable, hassle-free, fast, and comprehensive. TCM technicians provide a number of services that include oil changes, tire rotations and balancing, cooling system maintenance, and wiper replacement. All service personnel must be current on all products, car service requirements, and parts for cars and trucks. Additionally, they must consistently provide excellent customer service. Resultantly, training is critical to the company’s success and viability. Therefore, this has become one of the highest priorities for achieving and continuing to possess operational excellence.

Synthetic motor oil is in the market, and many manufacturers demand it in order to keep the warranty in effect. As a sidebar, the synthetic oil is a good choice for older vehicles also. Regardless of what the manufacturers want, TCM has found that the volume of synthetic oil sold is minimal.

Subsequently, it was determined that the service technicians did not understand or know much about how to effectively and efficiently discuss the benefits of synthetic motor oil with potential purchasers. This situation then obviously calls for training to be implemented. As a majority of TCM locations are franchises, face-to-face (in-class) training is limited because many of the technicians are owners themselves and cannot get away much. As a result, technology-based training is a viable educational opportunity.

Tasks:

• Analyze which knowledge, skills, abilities, or behaviors the technology-based training should concentrate.
• Analyze and recommend which training method you would suggest for educating the service technicians regarding synthetic oil for motors and explain the reason for the same.
• Describe the learning features you would include in the program for the service technicians and the reasons for these items were included.

Post your response to the following: Describe which groups are compared in the research. Then, classify the research design as follows:

1. By explaining whether the study is pre-experimental (cross-sectional, one-shot case study, and longitudinal), experimental (control group with pretest and posttest, posttest only, or four-group design), or quasi-experimental (comparing one group to itself at different times or comparing two different groups)
2. By indicating what the researchers report about limitations of the study
3. By explaining concerns you have regarding internal validity and the ability of the study to draw conclusions about causality
4. By explaining any concerns you have about the generalizability of the study (external validity) and what aspect of the research design might limit generalizability

The story of the 1959 Knox Mine Disaster in Northeastern, PA represents a framework for understanding how labor unions, management, and other organizations had engaged in corrupt labor-management relations. Mining too close to the Susquehanna river bed caused the river bed to collapse. Billions of gallons of water flowed into the mines putting miners lives at risk. The disaster effectively ended the area’s anthracite coal industry. Over 7,500 jobs were lost because of the Knox Mine Disaster causing long-term economic challenges for the region.

Using the Internet, research information on the Knox Mine Disaster and discuss the following questions with your classmates:

• What role did the union, management, and other organizations have in the Knox Mine Disaster?  
• According to your research, what was the root cause of the disaster? What labor-relations laws or practices were ignored?
• Could the disaster have been prevented? If so, how? What future labor laws were put in place that could prevent similar disasters from happening?

DQ 2

Many of the major US labor laws governing unions arose in the early 1930’s, however, unions existed well before this time. In fact, labor unions can trace their history, in some form, back to medieval craft guilds. Thus, organizing members of a profession to address issues within an industry has played a great role in the development of modern business practices. There is great value in studying the history of organized labor.

For this assignment, discuss the following with your classmates:

• In your opinion, what were the major issues in labor-management relations in the US before 1930? What role did the industrial revolution play in labor-management relations during this time period?
• How were these issues addressed differently in the US before modern employment laws were enacted
• Historically, what role has the HR profession played in labor-management relations and the development of US employment laws?  Should that role change, if so how?

Regulation is essential to our health care industry because as physicians and patients engage with each other. Today, federal, state, and even local legislative bodies and regulatory agencies establish rules intended to protect the public, promote access to care, and ensure that medical professionals both adhere to high standards and receive the compensation that is their due.

Big Pharma has a major influence on healthcare laws and regulations because Lobbying allows special interest groups to control the way laws are shaped and how healthcare policies are both created and enforced.

Pharmaceutical companies are some of the richest, most profitable companies in the world. Besides using profits to advertise products and influence prescription-writing target markets, Pharma spends extraordinary amounts of money on patents to protect their profit margins. Some cancer treatments can cost 600 times more in the U.S. than in other countries — and this form of price gouging remains legal in the U.S.1 Unfortunately for consumers, the game is rigged in Pharma’s favor, as they buy this privilege by lobbying government representatives.

The pharmaceutical industry’s lobbying expenditures have been increasing every year and hit an all-time high of $273 million in 2009. Monies are used successfully to influence lawmakers and politicians and shape pending legislature.
