Here is your chance to analyze an actual co-worker conflict situation and make suggestions on how to positively resolve this issue.

The #1 people issue I have is with a younger employee who has been speaking over me in meetings with external vendors.

I approached one of my co-workers to ask if they noticed it as well and they said of course - they were actually angrier than I was.

During the next few meetings I attempted different techniques to see if she'd notice she was talking over me but it was still happening. Eventually I pulled her aside and told her the issue I was having with her during meetings and explained it made us look unprofessional.

It worked for a few months but she ended up going back to her old ways. From then on, whenever she spoke over me in meetings, I would stop talking immediately and let her finish her sentence.

Sometimes she got flustered and would look back to me to finish up her thoughts but I wouldn't cut in.

I hope it reflected negatively on her, and not myself or the company.

1. The employee relaying her upset used 2 conflict styles. What are they and discuss their effectiveness in this situation? .
2. What is probably the root of this employee’s discontent? As well, why do you suppose the younger employee is interrupting this employee? Your answer will need to dig below the surface statements.
3. As the manager of these two employees, how would you resolve this conflict? State the conflict resolution style you will use and the specific steps you will take.

Step 1 Picture yourself as a Senior Product Manager in your favorite industry. This could be high-tech, financial services, consumer products, electronics, automobiles, restaurants, food services, etc. Choose an industry with which you are familiar. Sit quietly and brainstorm with yourself about a possible new product idea. This does not have to be completely original. It could be as simple as a new flavor of ice cream, a new feature on a hair dryer or a new color iPod/iPad.

Step 2 Create a post describing your new product idea. Be as specific as possible and provide as much detail as you can so that other's reading your post can understand your idea in sufficient detail so as to comment on it. Be sure to state who the product idea is targeted to, that is, who you expect to buy it. How will the new product compare and compete with similar, currently available products? How can labeling and package design help? Consider the labeling for the new product idea. What restrictions and legal requirements have to be fulfilled? Consider the packaging for the new product ideas. If applicable, what sizes will be available? How will the packaging help the product to stand out? How will the packaging help prevent or deter theft? Feel free to attach images to your post, or include links to similar products that might have similar characteristics to the new one you are developing.

Roedel Electronics produces tablet computer accessories, including integrated keyboard tablet stands that connect a keyboard to a tablet device and hold the device at a preferred angle for easy viewing and typing. Roedel produces two different sizes of integrated keyboard tablet stands, small and large. Each size uses the same keyboard attachment, but the stand consists of two different pieces, a top flap and a vertical stand that differ by size. Thus, a completed integrated keyboard tablet stand consists of three subassemblies that are manufactured by Roedel: a keyboard, a top flap and a vertical stand.

Roedel's sales forecast indicates that 7,000 small integrated keyboard tablet stands and 5,000 large integrated keyboard tablet stands will be needed to satisfy demand during the upcoming Christmas season. Because only 500 hours of in-house manufacturing time are available, Roedel is considering purchasing some, or all, of the subassemblies from outside suppliers. If Roedel manufactures a subassembly in-house, it incurs a fixed setup cost as well as a variable manufacturing cost. The following table shows the setup cost, the manufacturing time per subassembly, the manufacturing cost per subassembly, and the cost to purchase each of the subassemblies from an outside supplier:
