Chapter 13 discusses negotiation beyond two party participants. Conversations and tactics look different when more that two people are involved.

Consider the following:

Scenario...

You work for ABC Company and they are downsizing and reorganizing, post pandemic.

All newly hired employees (6 months or less) will be let go and given a severance package.

Some employees will be required to return to the office five days a week, to work Monday through Friday.

Other employees will be required to work both weekend days and given the option of choosing two weekdays off.

All tenured employees (5 years or more) will work from home three days and be required to report to work on 2 days of their choosing; they are not required to work weekends.

Consider the parties involved:

Newly hired employees

Tenured employees

HR department

Managers

Using the information above, select 5 of the 16 attributes of effective groups.

Explain/give an example of how each attribute can create effective group decision making within the situation above.

The length requirement for posts (paragraph -- 5 to 7 sentences) is for your entire post.

Please make sure you are thorough in your explanation/example. This means it is likely your post will be longer than the required length.
