Destructive and Restorative Conflict Behaviors: Olympic Athlete's Drug Scandal

Prior to beginning work on this assignment,
Review Chapter 5: Negotiation Skills and Resolving Conflicts With Others from Week 3
Review Chapter 6: Dealing With Anger, Aggression, and Bullying from Week 4
Read Chapter 9: Apologies, Forgiveness, and Reconciliation
In your study on conflict management and conflict resolution, the literature has revealed three behaviors that could be helpful in managing a business or organizational-based conflict and three behaviors that could prove detrimental to a business-based conflict. In the short run, each behavior could lead to at least a win-lose situation for participants to the conflict. In the long run, some of the behaviors could produce a lasting win-win situation, while other behaviors could produce either a winner and a loser or even a lose-lose outcome where both parties could be declared losers.
In your paper,
Describe a drug-related scandal involving an athlete that occurred either at one of the Winter Olympics or one that occurred at one of the summer Olympics.
Supporting documentation is required.
Describe how conflict management using win-win negotiation could be useful in the situation (as described in the “Win-Win Negotiation” section of Chapter 5).
Describe how conflict management using distributive strategies could be useful in the situation (as described in the section “Negotiation Strategies” of Chapter 5).
Describe how conflict management using integrative strategies could be useful in the situation (as described in the section “Negotiation Strategies” of Chapter 5).
Argue whether the parties should use win-win, distributive, or integrative strategies to produce the best available outcome if the athlete is believed to be guilty (as listed in Chapter 5).
Examine which strategies or tactics should and should not be used by the athletes, the coaches of the athletes, the national governments of the athletes, and the International Olympic Committee.
Argue which behaviors should and should not be used by the athletes, the coaches of the athletes, the national governments of the athletes and the International Olympic Committee in order to gain the upper hand in the conflict (as listed in Chapter 6 [anger, aggression or bullying] and Chapter 9 [apologies, forgiveness and reconciliation]).
Determine whether the approaches that you selected also maintain the integrity of the Olympic games.
