Section C (Compulsory Question)
1. Case:
Who Pays and When:
"Why haven't I received reimbursement for the two business trips I made last month? asked R. Chidambaram as he entered Uma Sekaran's Office Chamber. Sekaran was the budget officer for the manufacturing division ofCachar Paper Mills, a manufacturer of newspaper. Chidambaram was a technical troubleshooter who worked in manufacturing but frequently dealt with customer complaints that were channelled through sales representatives and national sales director's Office.
Sekaran responded, "you know it takes nearly four weeks for expense reimbursement, and for one of those trips, your travel request was processed after you returned. The vice-president of manufacturing does not like to approve reimbursement after-the-fact. All travel is supposed to be pre approval and funds encumbered for travel".
"1 know that", said Chidambaram, "but some of these sales representatives want immediate attention to customer problems. They want me to go to the customer's warehouse to inspect our shipment when the customer refuses acceptance. I cann't wait three days for approval. If 1 did, We would lose customers. You know that the sales representatives want answers right away so that they can get their full commissions".
"Furthermore", continued Chidambaram, "sometimes 1 have to charge lodging and meals onmy own credit card, and the bill comes due before I get reimbursed."
"Request an advance," countered Sekaran.
"There isn't time to get an advance, besides, advances are for only 80 per cent of expected expenses I still have to pay some expenses out of my own pocket," Chidambaram stated, frustrated.
"That's easy to handle. Overestimate your expenses by 20 per cent, and you can get an advances for 100 per cent of expenses, "Sekaran suggested.
"1 think these emergency trips should be charged to sales rather than manufacturing
Chidambaram offered.
"You know I requested that last year and I lost," Sekaran remarked.
"Well, you need to fight that battle again or change some ofthe reimbursement procedures. I am tired of bankrolling the company," complained Chidambaram as he left Sekaran's office.
Questions :
1 Identify and describe the form of conflict. What are the causes of the conflict?
2 Is the conflict functional or dysfunctional? What approach can be taken to resolve the conflict?
Explain.
3 Is Chidambaram, Sekaran, or both being difficult? H so, identify the type of difficult person
each represents.
