CASE STUDY
Background

Just over a year ago, two marine equipment manufactures, Muller and Peterson, joined together to form a large company called Muller Peterson Marine (MPM). MPM’s new sales team was made up of representatives of both companies. It was led by Muller’s Sales Manager, and Peterson’s Sales Manager became his deputy.

At the end of the first year, it has become clear that the two groups of sales representatives have very different aims, beliefs and ways of working. These are summarized below.
Muller sales representatives

  • They are ambitious and very competitive. They are mainly interested in increasing their basic salary and commission. They think he company’s main aim is to maximize profit. If they do that, the company will be profitable.

  • They promise their customers early delivery dates, but the company often

cannot meet the dates and the customers complain.

  • They send in short sales reports which are often late and incomplete. They usually forget to send written follow-up when customers place an order.

  • They are happy with the present system of payment: low basic salary, high commission.

  • They keep information about customers to themselves, rather than sharing it with their colleagues

  • They are aggressive when selling and put pressure on customers to buy. For example, they often offer expensive gifts to the customers to build up loyalty and to persuade them to place an order. They say that MPM’s products are the best in the world.


Peterson sales representatives

  • They believe in working as a team and supporting each other. They think the company’s aim is to keep the customers happy and to build up good customers relations. If they do that, the company will be profitable.

  • They believe that the company should always meet its delivery dates. Therefore they do not promise customers very early delivery.

  • They send in well-written, informative reports on or before the deadline. They always provide written follow-up when a customer places an order. They would like a higher basic salary and a bonus paid to the team if they exceed their monthly sales target.

  • They believe that staff should co-operate at all times and share information about customers with each other. This is the best to maximize sales.

  • Their sales approach is to build up customer loyalty by gaining their trust. They do not put pressure on customers to buy. They let the customer decide if the product is suitable. They do not believe in giving expensive gifts to customers. Gifts should never exceed €30 in value, in their opinion.



Task

The Sales Manager and Deputy Sales Manager decide to hold a meeting with representatives of both groups. The purpose of the meeting is to decide what actions to take so that the sales representatives work together more effectively.

LISTENING 1
Handling conflicts

(Market Leader Pre-Intermediate Unit 10 Recording 10.1, 10.2)
I. Work in pairs. Make a list of common causes of conflict in companies and

organisations.
II. Listen to the first part of the interview with Eileen Carroll, a Deputy Chief

Executive of the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution. It is an

organization that helps to resolve business conflict. Does Eileen mention

any of the causes you listed in task I?
III. Listen to the first part again and complete each cause of conflict with one

word.

  • ____(1) expectations about what a contract can deliver

  • lack of ____(2) when expectations are not met

  • ____(3) badly or not at all

  • a change in ___(4)

  • change of ___(5) structures




  1. Listen to the second part of the interview. What are the three key

elements that help her resolve business disputes?
READING
Text 1
I. Before reading the text, discuss these questions.

  1. Who should deal with conflict situations at work?

  2. What personal qualities do you think a manager needs to deal with the conflict and solve the problem?


II. Read the text and check your answers to question 2.
Conflict Situations at Work
To recognize conflict situations and deal with them before they get very bad is one of the responsibilities of anybody who is in management position. A good number of personal qualities are necessary in order to handle conflict successfully.

First of all, you have to be sympathetic towards the two sides involved in the conflict, and show that you really want to understand their problem.

It is often a good idea to try and solve the emotional side of the conflict to begin with, because it is difficult for people to think or even express their opinions clearly as long as they are full of feelings such as anger, fear or hatred. Of course, you yourself cannot become angry or upset, because if you run out of patience, you will only make things worse. As some people say, you should try and remain cool, calm and collected at all times.

Secondly, a certain amount of creativity will also help you, as very often you cannot apply old solutions to new problems.

Another key quality is consistency. Indeed, if you change your behavior or attitude depending on who you talk to, you will probably make enemies and you may soon lose your credibility.
III. Find the words in the text which correspond to the following definitions.

  1. to accept and admit that something is true

  2. to manage

  3. to fulfil some function

  4. the state of being in charge of smth., having to make decisions about it

  5. using the same approach, behavior or attitude when communicating with different people

  6. very important or necessary

  7. to have no more of smth.

  8. removal, elimination of a problem

  9. to use in a situation or activity


IV. Complete these phrases with verbs from the list. Sometimes two variants

are possible.

make solve lose handle apply change express

  1. to …………. a problem

  2. to …………. conflict

  3. to …………. an opinion

  4. to …………. a decision

  5. to …………. a new solution to the problem

  6. to …………. one’ behavior

  7. to …………. one’s credibility


Text 2
I. Before reading some advice about handling conflict, match the words from each part 1-3 to their meanings a-c. After reading each part, rank the five pieces of advice in order of usefulness.
Article A

  1. to jump to conclusions a. to make someone feel unimportant

  2. to move things forward b. to make a decision too quickly

  3. to talk down to somebody c. to make a situation better




  • Don’t set up a meeting if it is something that you can deal with informally. Listen to all sides first, separately, so you can understand each person’s views and feelings. Then set up a meeting. Don’t jump to any conclusions before you go in.

  • Too often people think about what they want done to the other person. Instead, you need to get people to think what they need from the other person and what they can offer the other person to help move things forward.

  • When you handle conflict, don’t think of it as fighting a battle, but as a service you can offer your employees. Make sure you are consistent in how you handle conflict across the organization.

  • Try not to talk down to people. Sometimes, managers start treating people like naughty school kids, but that doesn’t work.

  • You need to check what is motivating people. Sometimes an issue just begins to appear, but it’s got deeper roots.


Article B

  1. to find a win-win scenario a. to try and see things from someone else’s

point of view

  1. favouritism b. when you treat a person better than others

unfairly

  1. to get in somebody’s shoes c. to find a solution which will satisfy both

sides


  • Explore what is happening like someone who really wants to move things forward. Go in, ask some questions, find out what is wrong, if possible, from both sides of the argument. Win people’s trust.

  • Treat people with respect. The best way to do that is to listen to what they are saying and to try to get in their shoes.

  • Try to find a win-win scenario. You want both sides to go away happy and to be good for the organization. There must be no favouritism.

  • What you really want people to tell you is three things: what’s going wrong, and what can be changed.

  • Managers shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Sometimes a person will come to see them to say they have a problem with someone and they decide what they are going to do without checking with the other person. There are two sides to every story.


II. Work in pairs.

  1. In your own words, tell each other about the two most useful pieces of advice.

  2. Tell each other if there is any advice in the articles that you do not completely agree with.


III. Discuss how do people usually deal with personal conflict in your

country. In what way is it different from other countries you know?
Text 3
I. Read this e-mail from Max, a senior sales representative, to Jeff, his sales manager. In eight lines there is one extra word that does not fit. Write that word in the space.


Dear Jeff,
I was hoping to be able to talk to you about my problem, but I have to visit

a lot of customers on this week. I know that you are extremely busy as well.

Whenever I am in the office, you are in a meeting or in one of our branches.

For that reason, I’ve decided to write instead. So when we to meet we’ll

both have time to think about what to do.
I have been here since four years. I love the company and I think the sales

team is great. Maybe I should to say it was great. Since Dan and Bert

started working here, things have changed a lot. We don’t mind them being

much younger than the rest of us. What we really mind is that they are very

un-cooperative. For example, they never share with any information about

customers with us. Besides, they are arrogant and even rude, some of our

customers have told to us. I would be surprised if you hadn’t heard these

complaints yourself.

It has become very difficult for me to work with these new reps. They have

been destroyed our team spirit, and I’m afraid they are damaging the image

of the company as well.

I and some of my colleagues are now quite demotivated. If things are do not

improve, I won’t be able to work here much longer.

I hope we can meet next week to discuss all this. Thanks for your time.

Best wishes,

Max

  1. to get subsidized meals back immediate, or

  2. to postpone the cuts in subsidies until the staff have been properly consulted.


General Manager

You think the staff restaurant still offers good value for money, despite the cuts in subsidies. Prices are similar to those in other companies in your area. The company has to reduce costs or the staff’s salaries will be reduced. You want to negotiate a solution to the problem. Your objectives are:

1. to listen carefully to what the union representative says.

2. to explain why the cuts in subsidies are necessary.
CASE STUDY
European Campers
Background

Todd Foster became Marketing Manager of European Campers a year ago. The company, which was founded by Charles Holden, its Chief Executive, is based in Bordeaux, France. It makes and sells camping and outdoor equipment.

Todd, aged 34, is an American with a Master’s Degree in Business Administration (MBA). Since Todd joined the company two years ago, profits have risen dramatically and a company is enjoying great success.
A problem with the top salesman.

Olivier Moyons has three sales areas: France, Spain and Italy. He has been with the company for twelve years and everyone agrees that he is a brilliant salesman. His results are outstanding. In fact, the sales from his areas amount to 24% of the firms total sales. Unfortunately, however, Olivier is very difficult to manage. Todd cannot control him properly and this is causing problems.

Here are some examples of Olivier’s unacceptable behaviour:

  • Olivier spends far too much money on entertainment and gifts for his customers. His expenses are much higher than all the other representatives.

  • He only sent five sales reports last year instead of sending twelve (one each month).

  • He crashed his company car. He blamed bad road conditions but Todd believes he had drunk too much alcohol.

  • He has still not introduced Todd to the biggest buyers in his areas. He says buyers are too busy to meet Todd.

  • He often does not call back when Todd leaves messages on Olivier’s mobile phone.

  • He has missed several important meetings, saying that he is unwell or feels stressed.


Conflict

Two weeks ago Olivier got a large order from a department store chain for some camping tables and chairs. However, the equipment had to be delivered by the end of the month, at the latest. When he telephoned the Production Manager Jacques Picard to arrange delivery of the goods, Jacques told him that he could not produce the goods and deliver them by that date. Olivier became very angry and was extremely rude to him. Jacques complained to Todd about Olivier’s behaviour. Jacques explained that a very good customer had also placed an order for some tables and chairs, and this order had to be given priority. Jacques ended the conversation by saying, ‘Olivier may be a good salesman, but no one likes him here. He’s rude and cares only about himself. He’s impossible to work with’.

Listening

At the beginning of the week, Olivier arranged to meet Todd at the head office in Bordeaux.

Listen to this extract from their conversation, make notes.

(Market Leader Pre-Intermediate Unit 10.4)
Task:

    1. You are negotiating as either:

      • Charles Holden, Chief Executive, or

      • Todd Foster, Marketing Manager

You disagree about how to handle the problem with Olivier Moyons. Try to negotiate a suitable solution. Read your role card, prepare for your meeting and then negotiate solution to the problem.

    1. Meet as one group and compare the decisions you have taken. Try to persuade your colleagues that your solution was the best.


Charles Holden

You like both Todd Foster and Olivier Moyons. Olivier is a difficult employee, but you have been friends with him for years. He’s very valuable to the company. You’d like to keep Olivier if possible and to find ways of dealing with the situation.
Todd Foster
