During our negotiation with D.G. Barnhouse (DGB), we intend to utilize an integrative bargaining strategy with management. Before coming to this conclusion, we weighed the advantages and disadvantages of a distributive approach, however, we eventually decided to take an integrative and predominantly interest based stance versus a position based stance in our negotiations after assessing internal and external environmental factors. In addition, we settled on this strategy because we ultimately believe that management and the union share at the very least, one fundamental common interest, which is the firm’s financial stability. That being said, even with our plans to use integrative bargaining, we still plan to negotiate assertively to achieve

Later, White explains how challenging it is to convert from gas engines to electric due to the expenses involved. The author claims that gasoline is cheaper than “many brands of bottled water” (333); however, he does not give proper ethos for his poorly stated logos. Not supporting his logic takes away from the strength of his article as a whole, making his assumptions unconvincing. The author says that our advances in technology allow one to use hydrogen as a fuel. White then follows up with how there are only 1,000 natural-gas fueling stations in the country without supporting ethos (333).

There are many reasons why these ticket prices have changed such as the scandal in the 2010 season, the National Championship in 2014 with Ezekiel Elliot and the rest of the Buckeyes, or the stadium renovations in the early 2000’s.

Andrew Simms, a policy director and head of the Climate Change Program for the New Economics Foundation in England, presents his argument about the impact SUV’s have on our roadways, and the air we breathe. “Would You Buy a Car That Looked like This? “. The title alone gives great insight on what the article is going to be about, (vehicles). “They clog the streets and litter the pages of weekend colour *supplements. Sport utility vehicles or SUV’s have become badges of middle class aspiration” (Simms 542). Simms opening statement not only gives his opinion on how SUV’s are the new trend, but he also paints a picture of what we see every day driving down our roadways. Simms also compares the tobacco industry’s gap between image and reality

-In 1984, there was a switch from accelerated to straight line depreciation retroactively. Because of this, the depreciation expense decreased.

The article Did My Car Join Al Qaeda? written by Woody Hochswender, is a pervasive argument on owning and driving a SUV. The author makes a good persuasive article for individuals that are concerned with safety in an accident, or those that live in an area that receives harsh winters. The author begins the essay with a pathos approach attention getter, where he touches on the correlation of terrorism by stating, “The idea that the petrodollars transmigrate from the Gas’n’Go to the oil sheiks to the hands of maniac wielding AK-47s” (Muller & Wiener, 2015, p154). Hochswender proceeds to twice mention the outspoken producer who linked “SUVs with Mideast terrorism” (Muller & Wiener, 2015, p154), but only by referencing the violent and disturbing

Harlequin Enterprises has been able to capture 80% of the series romance market. Our great existing strategy (see exhibit 1) has allowed us to be the biggest player in the series romance market. Now we face the opportunity to capture a rapidly growing market of single-title women 's fiction novels. I recommend that Harlequin aggressively pursue the single-title market, using its extensive back list collection to reissue novels by best-selling authors.

“Any increases in the price of oil in the U.S. or in our other markets or any sustained shortage of oil, including as a result of political instability in the Middle East and African nations, could weaken the demand for such vehicles, which could reduce our market share in affected markets, decrease profitability, and have a material adverse effect on our business.” Page 26

They are the ones who help build the reputation of the company, it is their job to ensure the success of the business, which is why it is very important to keep them satisfied.

Finally, as a form of an ethical point of view will be used to be the best solution to solve the dilemma of the recommendation.
