Trang 5Origin of conflict Order from department store chain to be
delivered by end of month
Production manager Jacques Picard’s
view and reason for this Couldn’t be produced on time – order from good customer had priority
Olivier’s reaction Anger, rudeness to Jacques
result Jacques complained to Todd – “ Olivier is
rude and cares only about himself”
Trang 6Jacques Picard has let him down – no
order = no commission, no bonus
Jacques needs more effort,
Not happy with Todd either – too much
control
Say he will resign – no other solution
Olivier Moyon Todd Foster
Busy time – Jacques under pressure
Need for discipline
