Discussion: Project Fact Pattern
• For this discussion post, define the fact pattern in the Netflix case study, which you read about in the following Module One articles and presentation:
• Library Article: How Netflix Reinvented HR
• Article: The Woman Behind the Netflix Culture Doc
• Presentation: Netflix Culture: Freedom & Responsibility
• This information will be a key part of your final project for this course. According to Legal Dictionary, a fact pattern is "a concise description of all the occurrences or circumstances of a particular case, without any discussion of their consequences under the law."
• In other words, it provides the basic information-who, what, when, where, and why (which we will call the 5W approach):
• Who: The individuals and organization involved in the issue
• What: The issue at hand. What variables have created the situation that needs resolution, and what facts regarding the individuals involved and the organization can be codified as factual statements.
• When: The timetable as to when the issue began and the approximate timeframe in which it must be settled. If not definitively known, provide an estimate of the duration.
• Where: The geographic location, department, or division in which the problem exists.
• Why: The drivers that created the situation needing resolution.
• How: The ways in which the organizational culture may directly and/or indirectly impact the negotiation in an interpersonal or organization conflict situation.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
