Discussion Question 3

  Cultural Diversity in International Negotiation

Cultures can have very different approaches to defining and using power. Failure to understand the power strategies of the other culture can lead to stagnant negotiations, frustration, and even complete cessation of talks. Greater understanding of each party’s power strategies can create opportunities for leverage and positive negotiated outcomes.  

For the first paragraph of your posting, discuss some of the conflict resolution theories that are available from your course text and other research. The application of conflict resolution theories in intercultural situations is complex. What can we learn from conflict resolution theories for use in multi-cultural negotiation and leadership?

For the second paragraph of your posting, select any one of the following bullet points and address all elements of your chosen bullet point. Select a different bullet point section than what your classmates have already posted so that we can engage several discussions on relevant topics. If all the bullet points have been addressed, then you may begin to re-use the bullet points with the expectation that varied responses continue. Describe the power strategies of Asian negotiations. The applications of these power strategies include blaming, shaming, face-saving, threats, and acts of ultimatums. Also included are acts and recommendations of power people in places of authority. What are implications of these types of strategies for international negotiations? 
Evaluate the influence of individualism versus collectivism to the international negotiation process, particularly with respect to use of power and decision making.
How can effective international negotiators and their teams prepare themselves for foreseen power  strategies in the international arena? What strategies can international negotiators enable when in environments of hostile power strategies?

Technology and Love: Is it a match?

Developmental theorists claim that  finding a partner is one of the things we focus most on during young  adulthood. Today, research indicates that more and more individuals are  turning to online dating in the search for love. Do you feel this is an effective way to search for a companion? Why or why not? The article, Five Myths about Online Dating,  briefly addresses some issues that arise with the quest for finding a  partner through the Internet. Support your reasoning with information  from the text, course materials, and the article.

Discussion Prompt 2

A Creative Life: Is it all about curiosity?

Some psychologists claim that creativity peaks in early adulthood. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyl  is a psychologist who offers strategies for increasing creativity in  one’s life. He claims that creative people regularly experience a state  he calls flow, which is a heightened state of pleasure experienced when  they engage in challenging tasks that absorb their interest. Csikszentmihalyl claims that the first step in achieving a more creative life is through curiosity and interest. Do you agree with Csikszentmihalyl  that curiosity and interest can lead to a more creative life? Do you  think heredity plays any role in creativity? Why or why not? What other  factors may lead to heightened creativity in early adulthood? Support  your reasoning with information from the text and other course  materials.

Questions to be answered by evaluation.

Then, describe step-by-step data analysis procedures you will use to answer the following: What are the data analysis procedures (using both descriptive and inferential statistics) for the quantitative component of the program evaluation plan? What are the data analysis procedures for the qualitative components of the program evaluation plan?

Use published scholarly articles to find examples of data analyses that pose evaluation questions similar to yours. Discuss how these studies used and justified similar data analysis procedures that could also be used in your evaluation plan
