A conflict situation needs to be solved through implementing strategies that need the use of communication and negotiation skills, mentoring/coaching competencies, effective personal management techniques, etc. Scenario: Mr, Su Shi, a Japanese executive of the snack food industry wants to diversify the product portfolio of its company in Italy, and compete with the popular pizzeta snack. The board decides to study the proposal (extending Japanese snacks product portfolio in Italy) utilizing an external counselor (Miss Pia Zetta, Italian) specialized in market analysis. The Japanese snack company that commercializes Japanese snacks in Italy, wants to launch new products in Italy to compete in Italy against -pizzettas-. Miss Pia says NO GO. However, the Japanese board says GO. Conflict appears. Her output is NO GO (she recommends not launching Japanese snacks). However, the Japanese board decides to GO and needs to prepare a plan to face conflict generated with some Japanese and non-Japanese board members, and a plan to teach an eventual new sales team to launch the new line of products. Useful case information: Organoleptic needs fine-tuning. There is little brand awareness in Europe. Productivity surplus in Japan searches for new markets. 65% of shareholders are Nippon. 80% are men.

Kindly analyze this case by designing a situation response to solve the conflict using cultural patterns, time management, conflict situation techniques, effective communication, dealing with conflict, suitability to apply development methods to readdress the situation (coaching, mentoring, team-building strategies)
