Instructions
Suppose that you are the HR manager for a company. The judge in a current law suit by a former employee has ordered mandatory pre-suit mediation. Your boss is unfamiliar with mediation and she asks you to advise her as to several issues regarding the upcoming mediation. Draft a memo thoroughly discussing, at minimum, the following questions:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of mediation? Is it likely to be successful? Is it likely to make the parties more or less hostile toward one another? How do the costs in terms of time and money compare with litigation?
If your boss has no interest in mediation, does she really have to be there? Can she send her attorney instead? If so, are there any conflicts of interest with respect to attorney advocate representation of which she should be aware?
Must the company actually participate in the mediation? Can your boss (or her attorney) just sit there and refuse to speak?
If your boss (or her attorney) does decide to engage in dialogue during the mediation, what are the risks concerning information that might be disclosed? If the mediation fails, can the former employee use such information at trial?

use case study3 and follow the questions make sure you mention meyers cultural work and trompenaars model of culture use the cultural map to support reasoning 

Read the Chapter 9 Case Opener, The Problematic Promotion.  Respond to the questions at the end of the case.  You will have to read the chapter and do some outside research to properly respond to the questions. Do not use the Case wrap up to answer questions.
Each question should have a response of at least 250 words.  You will need to show references (and in-text citations) in APA format.

The job market can be intimidating, challenging and most of all, competitive!  Now, more than ever it is imperative that everyone polishes their soft skills, which includes writing, speaking and listening.  If you have one grammatical error on your resume, that could be a reason for disqualification of the perfect job, as the hiring committee may feel as if you do not pay attention to detail, because your resume is a direct correlation to who you are!  If one does not listen attentively and respond to a question with detail during a job interview, this could also mean the loss of an opportunity.  
(10 pts) PLEASE WRITE THREE OR MORE DETAILED PARAGRAPHS, about what you have learned through Chapter 15, and 16 about the Job Search and interviewing.  What were some things that stood out to you on this chapter.  Do you feel that this chapter gave you more insight on how to approach the job market?  If you are comfortable doing so, share either a positive job interview experience, what the job was, what you remember about the interview process, and how you felt, then explain what you think, even if it was positive, what you would or would not change about the interview now and why.  OR, write about a job interview experience that did not go well.  Why you think it did not go well, what you would change now that you read Chapter 16, and how you would go about it differently. 
For example, I had a student in class once tell me he went on an interview at the discount chain store, Big Lots, and he brought his friend.  The student and friend were doing something afterward and the friend tagged along, but halfway through, the friend knocked on the office door and interrupted the interview to ask the student (friend) in front of the interviewer when the interview would be finished!   
There is a lot one can write about what went wrong with that interview!  If you have never had a job interview, please again write two or more paragraphs as to how you will prepare yourself for your first interview, what tips have you learned from Chapter 16, that you will utilize, and when you think you will begin the job search and where.
