Learning Objectives

All learning objectives for this assignment are based on the first three Units covered in the course material. Your ability to understand and apply the course material to the case study is paramount and the key to achieving a good mark. There are four main objectives that are to be achieved for this assignment that form your assessment:

1. Analyze the different personalities of an organization and assess how different personality traits require different conflict resolution techniques.
2. Analyze and determine the root cause(s) from which the situation evolved.
3. Identify the sources of conflict in a complex multidimensional situation.
4. Apply a strategy for resolving a complex conflict.

Subjects Covered

• Unit 1 – Conflict, Perception, Personality, and Values
• Unit 2 – Conflict Diagnosis
• Unit 3 – Identification of Sources of Conflict

Suggested Approach to this Case Study

This case study presents an opportunity for you and your group members to develop your case analysis skills in preparation for your individual case assignments. For this case study, you must apply the concepts/tools of Units 1 through 3 in a clear and concise manner. I want to see how your group applies the techniques introduced in these sections.  This is going to be the greatest challenge of the case study.  Going beyond simply understanding concepts to apply them in a real-world setting is an important skill at this level and indicates true mastery of the material.   The quality of your analysis and your ability to convey that analysis through effective writing are key to effective case analysis, not the quantity of your writing.  Please reference the grading rubric, which provides guidance on the structure of your analysis.

In addition, resources can be found at The University of Auckland under the heading of Analyzing and Writing Case Studies that will assist in understanding how best to approach the analysis of a case study.
