Introduction to BUS 4474 “Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission” Assignment

Video Transcript

Hello. I’m Natalie Bryant, the course coordinator BUS4474, Business and Society. This video is designed to give you a short introduction to the “Citizens United v. Federal Election

Commission” case study assignment. The case study you’ll be using for the assignment can be found on page 304 of your Business, Society, and Government textbook.

The case study presents the history of events leading up to the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a brief summary of the public’s reaction to the decision, and some thoughts to consider about the effect of this decision. The assignment requires you to identify stakeholders who will be affected by the court’s decision in this case and the impacts the stakeholders will have in the aftermath of the court’s decision. This video will give you a brief review of stakeholder theory and give you an idea of what skills you will be expected to demonstrate when you complete this assignment.

Your textbook defines stakeholders as an entity that is benefitted or burdened by the actions of a corporation or whose actions may benefit or burden the corporation. Some common examples of stakeholders would include customers, employees, suppliers, stockholders, and the community.

Businesses will almost always have multiple stakeholders, and many times their interests will conflict. This means that a business decision-maker will frequently have to make a decision in the face of competing claims from different stakeholders. The question of whose interests should be prioritized requires the exercise of judgment. This skill—examining competing claims and deciding which one is the strongest—is called evaluation. You will want to consider the power, urgency, and legitimacy that each stakeholder presents.

In your assignment, you will be asked to identify all relevant stakeholders and determine how they could be impacted by the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. You should put yourselves in each stakeholder’s position—Why do they care about the outcome of the decision? How will they be affected? What outcome would they prefer? What are their arguments in support of their preferred outcome? You will want to consider the power, urgency, and legitimacy that each stakeholder presents.

To summarize, do not answer the questions that follow the case. Instead, identify all stakeholders affected by the court’s decision and determine the impact that the court’s decision has on the stakeholder or the impact that the stakeholder could have in the aftermath of the court’s decision.

negotiations put together

The chief operations officer (COO) reviewed your negotiation strategy planning template and decided that you and your team are ready to brief the chief executive officer (CEO). He would like you to review the negotiation scenario with your team and prepare a PowerPoint presentation to the CEO for final approval.

Negotiation Scenario

Introduction

This scenario provides the background and essential information elements for a contract negotiation between ABC Manufacturing Company and XYZ Plastics. This scenario is designed to stimulate a discussion of the negotiation process, contract pricing, negotiation strategy, techniques, and ethics.

Scenario Description

Overview

You will assume the role of the regional manager for ABC Manufacturing Company. Your company manufactures DELAMIX blenders, and you are negotiating terms with a supplier of a critical component in your manufacturing process (XYZ Plastics). You receive 1,300 units monthly at a delivered cost of $2.50 per unit. You project needing 1,900 units for the next 6–12 months and perhaps as many as 2,000 units ongoing after that. You have been satisfied with the supplier’s quality; however, late deliveries have forced you to schedule overtime to meet customer orders. An out-of-state vendor (QMP Imports) has offered you a 10% discount for the 2,000 units per month for a one-year contract. Your boss has authorized a contract negotiation team of 2–3 members. The COO would like to reduce the overall contract price by 10–15%. The CEO negotiated the initial contract with XYZ Plastics when he started the company and would like to continue working with the company because of demonstrated quality, responsiveness, and loyalty.

Background

The COO of ABC Manufacturing and the senior vice president of XYZ Plastics have been meeting and talking frequently regarding the vendor contract renegotiation. XYZ Plastics is an industry leader and has been the primary vendor to ABC Manufacturing for 42 years. XYZ Plastics contracted a new raw materials provider to reduce material shortages. XYZ Plastics is aware that its past delivery issues are a major discussion point, and it is prepared to offer a reduction in unit price (to be negotiated) along with a guarantee of on-time delivery before or on the required delivery date. Currently, XYZ is the only company in the United States that manufactures this part. ABC Manufacturing Company would like to continue to claim “made in the U.S.” in its advertising.

XYZ Plastics is aware that ABC Manufacturing Company will require additional units in the out-years and would like to secure the contract for continued growth. A new member of the ABC Manufacturing Company team has a contact in XYZ Plastics that offered to provide information on the manufacturing cost and profit per unit and other confidential proprietary information in exchange for a finder’s fee.

Original posts made ON the due date can only earn up to half credit so post early and get the discussion going!

  1. Talk about a time when you were the follower in an “in-group” situation or an “out-group” situation. At what point, if ever, did you realize your situation? How did you respond to your situation?
  2. In retrospect, what do you think led to your role in the ingroup or outgroup? What actions did you take (if you were in the ingroup) or did you not take (if you were in the out-group) that led to you being in that group? If you could go back what might you have done differently?
