Scenario 2​The Context:You are the owner and founder of a successful regional business with 28 employees. The business is profitable, and you currently earn an annual salary of $185,000. Most of your employees are paid at or just above the minimum wage. While turnover is higher than desired, the company is legally compliant and meets its financial goals.​The Strategy:You are preparing a major branding campaign to present the company as a socially responsible business. Your marketing team is requesting a $50,000 budget for high-quality video production and social media ads. This campaign will promote the company’s new $5,000 community scholarship fund and a “volunteer day” where employees can take one afternoon off per quarter to pick up litter. Your team believes this will create a “Benevolent Halo Effect” around the brand.​The Internal Conflict:Some managers have quietly raised concerns. They point out that the $50,000 being spent on marketing the social responsibility is ten times larger than the actual scholarship fund ($5,000). These managers argue that according to the Triple Bottom Line model, the company should prioritize its “People” (employees) first. They suggest that redirecting the $50,000 into employee pay would be a more authentic ethical move than spending it on a “Halo” campaign.​Questions​A. The Triple Bottom LineExplain whether the company’s current strategy effectively balances the Triple Bottom Line (Profit, People, and Planet). Does spending $50,000 on marketing and only $5,000 on community programs suggest a genuine commitment to “People,” or is the company only focusing on “Profit”?​B. The Benevolent Halo EffectThe textbook describes the “Benevolent Halo Effect” as a way for consumers to perceive a company more positively. In this scenario, is the “Halo” earned or manufactured? Explain whether it is ethically defensible to maintain minimum-level wages for employees while spending heavily to promote an image of social responsibility.​C. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) vs. BrandingBased on the text’s definition of Corporate Social Responsibility, does this strategy represent a sustainable ethical practice? Address whether the managers’ concerns about the internal compensation structure (wages) are more important to CSR than the external marketing of the scholarship fund.Each part of the answer must reference at least one specific fact from the scenario.

Scenario 1​Taylor owns a small digital marketing firm. Six months ago, Taylor entered into a written agreement with BrightWave Media, a content production company owned by Alex. The contract includes a “Formal Notice of Default” clause, which states: “Any claims for financial losses due to missed deadlines must be submitted to the other party via Certified Mail within 5 business days of the incident, or the right to claim damages is waived.”​The Dispute:Over the past two months, BrightWave missed three key deadlines. Taylor lost two major clients as a result, totaling $12,000 in losses. Taylor sent multiple urgent text messages and emails to Alex expressing frustration, but Taylor never sent a certified letter. Alex claims the delays were actually caused by Taylor’s clients requesting “emergency” edits over the phone, which Alex argues resets the contract’s delivery clock.​The Pressure:Taylor currently has a $40,000 “Holiday Launch” for a new client starting in exactly 72 hours. Alex is the only local creator who has the source files needed to go live. Alex is worried about being sued for the $12,000 and is refusing to upload the files until Taylor signs a “Liability Release” giving up the right to any past claims. Both parties are stressed and have only exchanged tense emails so far.​Questions​A. Dispute Resolution ProcessIdentify whether negotiation, mediation, or litigation is the most appropriate next step. Considering the 72-hour deadline and the Certified Mail clause, why is filing a lawsuit (litigation) a high-risk move for Taylor?​B. Type of NegotiationIs this situation best classified as dyadic or group negotiation? Explain how the $40,000 “Holiday Launch” client acts as an “invisible” third party that increases the pressure on Taylor.​C. Negotiation GoalsAre the parties currently prioritizing relational goals or outcome goals? Use evidence from the scenario to explain why Taylor might be forced to prioritize the relationship with Alex over the $12,000 loss.​D. Negotiation ApproachShould Taylor approach this as integrative or distributive negotiation? If Taylor insists on getting the $12,000 back before the launch, how does that change the approach?​E. Negotiation StyleWhich negotiation style (Competing, Collaborating, or Accommodating etc.) is most effective for Taylor to ensure the $40,000 launch happens on time? Explain the “cost” of choosing a Competing style in this specific 72-hour window.Each part of the answer must reference at least one specific fact from the scenario.
