The two leading U.S. manufacturers of high performance radial tires must set their advertising strategies for the coming year. Each firm has two strategies available: maintain current advertising or increase advertising by 15%. The strategies available to the two firms, G and B, are presented in the payoff matrix below. 
The entries in the individual cells are profits measured in millions of dollars. Firm G's outcome is listed before the comma, and Firm B's outcome is listed after the comma.
a. Which oligopoly model is best suited for analyzing this decision? Why? (Remember it is illegal to collude in the United States.)
b. Carefully explain the strategy that should be used by each firm. Support your choice by including numbers.

a.The Prisoners' Dilemma model is most appropriate for analyzing this situation. We can conclude that the Prisoners' Dilemma is most appropriate because each firm must set its advertising strategy without knowledge of the rival's strategy.
b.Increasing the advertising level is the dominant strategy, since the firm is better off increasing regardless of the rival's action. For example, if Firm B increases, Firm G earns 27 if it increases and 12 if it does not increase. G is better off increasing. If Firm B doesn't increase, Firm G earns 45 by not increasing and 50 by increasing. Again, Firm G is better off to increase. It is obvious that no matter what B does, G is better off to increase. Firm B faces the same situation.

Briefly explain the different organizational development techniques that are employed by organizations to increase overall performance.
On Apr 29, 2024
Answers will vary. Organizational development (OD) is a system-wide effort, managed from the top of the organization, to increase the organization's overall performance through planned interventions. Different OD techniques are widely used.
Survey feedback: Survey feedback involves having employees respond to questionnaires about attitudes and perceptions of leadership styles and then sharing the results of the survey with everyone involved, including managers and supervisors. The purpose is to change the behavior of managers or supervisors by making them aware of how everyone perceives them. Following the feedback are usually workshops designed to help managers evaluate the feedback and suggest constructive changes.
Third-party peacemaking: When OD is undertaken to solve a specific problem, such as interpersonal conflict, techniques such as third-party peacemaking might be used. Here a neutral third party, often an OD consultant from outside the organization, hears both sides in a conflict. He or she then helps the parties develop satisfactory solutions or compromises so that everyone can win.
Process consultation: In process consultation, the OD consultant observes managers in the organization to develop an understanding of their communication patterns, decision-making and leadership processes, and methods of cooperation and conflict resolution. The consultant then provides feedback and recommendations to the managers about how to improve these procedures.
