Workplace Conflict Case NEW OREO COOKIE PACKAGING PROJECT You are the team/project leader for the New Oreo Cookie Packaging Project at Nabisco. So many complaints about broken cookies have flooded the company that they have decided to re-do the traditional cellophane package and create a sturdier option in order to better protect the fragile cookies. The learn consists of a representative from each of the following areas: Package manufacturing division ? they will be responsible for manufacturing the newly designed package. They currently make the cellophane package, Accounting ? they have full oversight of the budget for this project which is strictly being held at $100,000. Marketing ? both Marketing and the Brand Manager must approve the new design. Brand Manager - this person is responsible for everything about the OREO product including new versions (holiday Oreos), new advertisements, and, of course, the new packaging. the Brand Manager has responsibility for improving the sales of the product. Project Leader (that would be you)-you are responsible for making sure that a new design is agreed upon and is ready to launch within six months and you have to maintain the budget of $100,000. the team has faced several challenges. The first design that was agreed upon ended up being too expensive and this was discovered only after the first prototype was developed. Now they are also encountering deadlines from their functional departments; for example, the accounting representative must also complete the quarterly audit in addition to working on this product. The Brand functional departments; for example, the accounting representative must also complete the quarterly audit in addition to working on this product. The Brand manager is under pressure from his manager to increase the number of grocery stores that sell Oreos and this is taking up more of his time and he has less energy and time to devote to the packaging project. All of this extra tension is creating a difficult environment and the team members are arguing over inconsequential factors. They are beginning to write terse emails to each other and sometimes they are simply ignoring requests for communication. The marketing representative is very detail oriented and the packing manufacturing representative is clearly overwhelmed by the detailed information she receives from marketing. The accounting representative travels extensively and it is not easy to schedule face to face meeting which is a very important element in the eyes of the Brand manager who believes everyone should be in the same room together for meetings. The potential for this type of situation to adversely impact the project is high. What would you do after reading the materials about forming teams and the article about work place conflict? Be specific!!!! Be sure to answer these three questions: 1) What would you do and 2) WHY did you choose to do something (or not do something) to diffuse the situation. 3) What could you have done to prevent this situation Please help me with this question.
