Chapter 2 has some background on ADR (that is alternative dispute resolution). With the high costs and uncertainty of legal disputes, alternatives can often be more efficient for all involved. ADR could get a lower cost (or even no cost) outcome in a shorter time rather than a long and costly process with less certainty. So a “win” might be avoiding a legal dispute altogether. Many agreements even require some sort of ADR (like arbitration).
To that end, the book starts with negotiation. It has some tips and theory on the process. Also, a book I have used to teach about negotiation in several classes is the classic Getting to Yes. Students have really enoyed this book and 6 key principles are summarized here: https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/negotiation-skills-daily/six-guidelines-for-getting-to-yes/
With this in mind, think about a relevant hypothetical dispute you may face in your personal professional life (be it a customer, neighbor, co-worker, employer, business issue, service provider, etc) and explain how a “negotiation” might help resolve this dispute. Use either 3 bold terms in the chapter (see 2.1) or at least 3 principles from Getting to Yes in your post. (1 point). Emphasize them in bold for us to see your choice of terms/principles and their usage.

Articles, Websites, and Videos:Marketing, or the ability to curate the communication of a brand or product to showcase its value to customers, is essential for almost all businesses. While the ultimate and most fundamental goal of marketing, such as sales or profit, can be easily measured, harnessing the full power of marketing requires delving into more complex data. For instance, understanding what your customers truly value and gaining insights about their thoughts on your brand or product. Gaining this insight is just one of the many use cases that require the use of qualitative research. The following readings elaborate on what qualitative research is and how to utilize it to enhance both understanding and decision-making.Rajagopal R.

Project Overview
For this project, you will analyze artifacts—physical objects made by societies for use by the people who live in them—and describe how the artifacts relate to your workplace culture. Then, you will present your findings in a report.
Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Analyze the relationship between cultural artifacts and societal norms
Scenario
In this project, you will be choosing objects used in a workplace and looking at them as cultural artifacts. These objects can be from your actual workplace, one you are familiar with, or a one where you might like to work in the future. You will analyze how well these artifacts reflect the culture of the workplace they come from and write a report on your findings.
Directions
Your task is to describe and analyze workplace artifacts to show the importance of aligning them to company culture. Artifacts are real, physical objects made by people that embody the ideas of the creators, users, and the culture in which they were made.
Choose two objects that fit the description of artifacts above. Examples of artifacts include training materials, a piece of equipment, a decoration, a business card, a newsletter, or something else.
Analyze the artifacts. Use the questions in the Artifact Analysis Guide to help you do this.
Write a report. In your report:Identify the type of organization or workplace you used.
Briefly explain why artifact analysis is relevant to workplace culture.
Explain the importance of analyzing artifacts for understanding culture.
Provide specific examples of ways your workplace could improve its culture based on the results of the analysis.
Describe your chosen artifacts in detail.
If possible, include a picture of them.
Be sure to identify who created them and who uses them.
Explain the purpose of your chosen artifacts.
State whether you think the creator(s) succeeded in achieving that purpose.
How do different people interact with the artifacts?
Discuss how the artifacts reflect the norms, beliefs, and values of the organizational culture.
To do this, compare your artifacts with specific workplace culture statements. These might include a mission statement, motto, vision document, slogan, and so on. Do the artifacts reflect the workplace culture in which they are found?
Your report can be in the format you consider most appropriate. You could create a visual presentation (slides) or a written report. If you choose to create a presentation, you should provide comprehensive speaker notes. Remember to cite any sources you use.
What to Submit
Report
You will analyze two workplace artifacts and report on your findings. Use the questions in the Artifact Analysis Guide to guide your artifact analysis. These questions provide key points that you can address in your report.
Your report can be a presentation (8–10 slides) or a written report (1.5–2 pages). If you choose to do a presentation, include detailed speaker notes.
Review the tutorials and resources in How to Design and Deliver an Effective Presentation if you need help with presentation design.

Respond to at least two of your peers’ comments. To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric. 3.Most government entities share their compensation structure publicly. They use a job classification plan where pay rates are based on compensable factors such as knowledge and skills similar to the federal government’s General Schedule (GS) system. Jobs are grouped into seven classifications, ranging from Grade 1 through Grade 7. Over time, employees receive pay increases according to length of service (Steps 1–4), and progression through the steps assumes a minimum of acceptable performance. Below is an example of a city’s waiting period within steps and published job structure: Waiting Period Step 1 to 2: One year Step 2 to 3: One year and six months Step 3 to 4: Two years Grade Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 1 31200 32240 33280 34320 2 35360 36400 37440 38480 3 39520 40560 41600 42640 4 43680 44720 45760 46800 5 47840 48880 49920 50960 6 52000 53040 54080 54080 7 56160 57200 58240 59280 Using the schedule above, calculate the number of years it would take an employee to advance from their starting position in Grade 4 (Step 1) to Step 4 if they demonstrate acceptable performance. Another employee asked what their salary would likely be after completing two additional years of service. This employee just entered their first year in Grade 4 (Step 2). If they were to demonstrate acceptable performance, what would their expected salary be after completing two additional years of service? All pay rates typically increase each year based on changes in the consumer price index. Calculate the salary for each step in Grade 7 based on an overall 3% increase. Your findings should be in a Word document and may include a bulleted list or table. Submit your assignment here. Make sure you’ve included all the required elements by reviewing the guidelines and rubric.
