NEW QUESTION # 34
Leitax is a consumer electronics firm with headquarters in the US and with a global sales presence. The company maintains seven to nine models in its product portfolio, each of which has multiple SKUs. Product life ranges from fifteen to nine months and is getting shorter. The demand planning and master planning processes at the company were ill-defined. Data relevant to forecasting were usually inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable and the lack of objectives and monitoring mechanisms for the demand planning process meant that process improvement could not be managed. Support for supply management was equally ill-defined, as master production schedules were sporadic and unreliable and suppliers had learned to mistrust them. Leitax's newly appointed Supply chain director, Jessica realises that the "buy-in" of different functional groups was critical to the improvement of demand planning. She invites relevant stakeholders to a meeting so that they can express their opinions openly. What tactic is Jessica using?

Answer: D

Explanation:
There are nine commonly used influence tactic:
1. Rational persuasion includes using facts, data, and logical arguments to try to convince others that your point of view is the best alternative. This is the most commonly applied influence tactic.
2. Legitimating
3. Personal appeals
4. Exchange
5. Ingratiation
6. Pressure refers to exerting undue influence on someone to do what you want or else something undesirable will occur.
7. Coalitions refer to a group of individuals working together toward a common goal to influence others.
8. Inspirational appeals
9. Consultation refers to the influence agent's asking others for help in directly influencing or planning to influence another person or group.
In the scenario, there is a problem with demand forecasting and supply chain planning in Leitax. The new Supply chain director invites the stakeholders to a meeting to find the solution. She is using coalition tactics.

NEW QUESTION # 35
A purchasing organisation wants a Win-Win (integrative) solution in negotiations with a key supplier. Which TWO approaches would be appropriate?

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
Integrative negotiation seeks joint value creation. Collaboration builds trust and open exchange, while problem solving identifies creative tradeables that satisfy both sides. Coercion and risk transfer belong to adversarial, distributive strategies, where one side gains at the expense of the other. Persuasion can play a role, but without collaboration, it leans toward manipulation rather than true win-win. In practice, integrative approaches require willingness to share data, listen actively, and seek long-term alignment.

NEW QUESTION # 36
According to Fiona Dent and Mike Brent, which of the following are characteristics of Push approach? Select TWO that apply.

Answer: C,E

Explanation:
According to the book 'Influencing: Skills and techniques for business success' by Fiona Dent and Mike Brent, there are two major influencing styles. Push tends to be directive. It tells, and is clear and resolute, but needs to be employed in situations where firmness is required because of difficulties that exist or weakness is evident.
Pull is more participatory and collaborative. It seeks to incorporate everyone's perspective. It can appear wishy-washy if not skilfully employed. That approach should be followed which is most likely to secure commitment and not mere compliance.
The two divisions can be further divided into four style categories: directive; persuasive reasoning; collaborative - team oriented, people oriented to inspire them with a vision. The directive style relies on your expertise and reputation being respected by others, and where there really does seem to be one answer. It is "I" driven whereas persuasive reasoning is more "we" and issue driven. Directive styles can make the user appear as "a bull in a china shop"; persuasive reasoning can be portrayed as tough guy.
Collaborative influencing takes the "we" element further and seeks to mobilise everyone's ideas in a journey of discovery. It may have the flavour of "I'm your best friend", which may not go down too well. Visioning style is concerned to stir people's emotions in support of achieving an objective. This last one has been used by demagogues to stir people's hearts and minds for evil purposes as well as good.
A useful table offers the benefits, problems, words and body language associated with each style along with advice on when to use and when to avoid each. Cases and exercises illustrate these styles.
Empathy comes in for extended treatment with the definition of "standing in the other's shoes". This does not necessarily happen just intuitively, and therefore before a specific influencing effort there should bean intense effort to think about the other person or persons and to sense what it might feel like to be them - their hopes, fears, concerns, what turns them on, what turns them off, where are they coming from.


NEW QUESTION # 37
Which of the following would help build trust in a relationship?
* Mediation attendance
* Regular meetings
* Keep promises
* Coercion

Answer: B

Trust is built through consistent communication (e.g., regular meetings) and fulfilling commitments (keeping promises). Coercion erodes trust, while mediation is reactive and not a foundational element of trust-building.
