(Automobile leasing problem) Sundown Rent-a-Car, a large automobile rental agency operating in the Midwest, is preparing a leasing strategy for the next six months. Sundown leases cars from an automobile manufacturer and then rents them to the public on a daily basis. A forecast of the demand for Sundown’s cars in the next six months follows: MONTH MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST Demand 420 400 430 460 470 440 Cars may be leased from the manufacturer for either three, four, or five months. These are leased on the first day of the month and are returned on the last day of the month. Every six months the automobile manufacturer is notified by Sundown about the number of cars needed during the next six months. The automobile manufacturer has stipulated that at least 50% of the cars leased during a six-month period must be on the five-month lease. The cost per month on each of the three types of leases are $420 for the three-month lease, $400 for the four-month lease, and $370 for the five-month lease. Currently, Sundown has 390 cars. The lease on 120 cars expires at the end of March. The lease on another 140 cars expires at the end of April, and the lease on the rest of these expires at the end of May. Use LP to determine how many cars should be leased in each month on each type of lease to minimize the cost of leasing over the six-month period. How many cars are left at the end of August?

It's always a source of pride and amazement for me how applicable the lessons I learned in the Marine Corps are to so many aspects of civilian life. Indeed, many of the 11 Marine Corps leadership principles lend themselves perfectly to preparing for and engaging in a negotiation, another one of my favorite subjects.

Before combat, Marines diligently prepare and train. The same type of persistent preparation is needed for a successful negotiation.

Here are a few leadership principles from my experience serving as a U.S. Marine that inform my approach to every negotiation.

Know yourself and seek self-improvement: When entering into a negotiation, be confident in your authority, ability, and strengths. You (should) have prepared long and hard for this moment; don't be intimated by your opponent's prestige, title, or other accomplishments. That said, it's critical to be mindful of how you typically react in uncomfortable or unpleasant situations or to disagreeable comments, so if such a situation arises (and it will), you won't lose your cool. Anticipate your opponent's viewpoints, including those that might make your blood boil, and be prepared with reasonable alternatives that can help push the negotiation forward (rather than sitting there steaming). Be technically and tactically proficient: Marines live on a regimented schedule. This type of constant repetition allows them to be ready at any given moment for combat. A skilled negotiator will thoughtfully prepare and practice leading up to the negotiation. Earn your seat at the table by always learning and improving. Everyone (myself included) needs practice; once you think you know it all, you're done. Set the example: Be prompt for the meeting. Better yet, arrive early to give yourself time adjust to the environment and review any documents before you begin. During the negotiation, actively listen to the other person. Often, when it's our turn to listen, we are instead passing judgment, preparing our response, or even daydreaming, none of which will help you craft a purposeful response when it is your turn to speak. Set the tone for a respectful negotiation by paraphrasing the other side's viewpoint back to them, which helps you demonstrate empathy, understanding, and respect. Without these, your negotiation will go nowhere. Keep your Marines informed: It's essential that you create a transparent bond between you and your client or team with regard to the negotiation process. Transparency builds trust, so be honest with your client and team members. If you're a real estate broker whose client has asked for an update, don't dance around the fact that the seller won't budge from the asking price. Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions: Negotiators often focus their position too narrowly. Show that you have done your research and are conscious of your opponent's interests. Following the negotiation, own up to issues you could have handled better, and use that to inform your next negotiation.

The level and the nature/type of diversification have different implications on company’s performance (check lecture video as well as lecture note). Amazon hardly recorded any profit until 2016 which is very surprising given that Amazon is an established big company with reputation. Think about industries that Amazon expanded into over its history. Do you think such a rather disappointing performance for many years could be attributed to its too much diversification by expanding too different industries? Explain what you think.
