AuraCall, Inc.: Negotiating a Dispute Resolution Process Simulation

Abstract:      

The AuraCall simulation is a tool for teaching two subjects, and the relationships between them: alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process choice and design, and negotiation regarding this issue. Designed for to be used at the intermediate level, it sets participants into the role of disputants, who must set their main conflict aside momentarily in order to decide what the best dispute resolution process would be for settling it. 

In the simulation, a telecommunications company has retained an instructional design expert to create an online training course for its call center staff. Despite a good start, the parties are now disappointed with each other, and each is angry that the other did not keep to the agreement. Unable to come to agreement on their own, they initiate a discussion regarding the dispute resolution process best suited to settle the issue – only to realize that they have different preferences on this issue, with each party leaning towards a different type of ADR process. Only by using their negotiation skills will parties be able to reach agreement on process choice.

Orlando Terrorist/Hostage Incident

Did the police do the right thing?

The official timeline of the siege includes a lengthy pause of two hours or more between Mateen's initial assault, in which most of the victims were killed, and a final gun battle in which he and others were killed. During that interim period, police said Mateen had stopped shooting and was talking to 911 dispatchers and hostage negotiators, raising a potential opportunity to end the bloodshed. But while they talked, an untold number of victims were lying wounded or dying in the club.

Orlando Police Chief John Mina has defended his approach, saying it was worth the risk to talk to Mateen because it may have saved more lives — and once it became clear the Mateen was going to start killing again, authorities moved to take Mateen out. Many police experts agree, saying it struck a difficult balance between force and negotiation.

But the details of what happened during the siege's middle period remain unclear.
