Week 6: Group Negotiation, Difficult Situations and Third Party Approaches – You Decide
A supervisor in a large accounting firm is scheduled to interview a job candidate who comes highly recommended and has excellent qualifications. Jim has an accounting degree (bachelors) from a prestigious Ivy League school and has been working on his MBA by attending an online program for the last 18 months and is close to earning his degree. In addition, he has been working for one of your competitors for several years and has excellent references attesting to his ability. Your payroll budget has recently been reduced significantly as a result of a declining client base, and your manager has the final authority in establishing salaries for the new hires, but generally is responsive to what his supervisor’s propose to a job candidate. In addition, the HR Director has established salary ranges for new hires that are to be adhered to, unless there are extenuating circumstances such as candidates with special expertise, the ability to bring in additional clients, or excellent credentials, including having the CPA certification.
Your role is to determine whether distributive or integrative negotiations will be preferred in this scenario between the job applicant and the supervisor, and discuss the other potential negotiations that may occur between the other individuals who have an interest in hiring the job applicant. Your analysis should include your rationale for the preferred negotiation strategy for each negotiation based on the specific objectives of each of the participants in each scenario. Your responses to each question should be 50–100 words.
What is the appropriate negotiation strategy that would be most advantageous for Sharon and Jim in this scenario, distributive or integrative bargaining? What are the factors that should be considered in making this determination?
CPA yet. 2. What factors do you feel will contribute to the Accounting Supervisor and her Manager in determining the salary that Jim should be offered as a new hire? What are some other considerations that could be made to entice Jim to accept the job assuming that his salary demands could not be met? What are Jims and the Accounting Supervisors interests?
3. What are HRs interests in this scenario, and what would be the potential negotiation strategy between the Accounting Manager and HR assuming that there is a decision that the published salary range for attracting Jim will have to be exceeded in order to hire him?
4. Propose a negotiating outcome for each of the possible negotiations that could occur in this scenario and defend your responses.
