Answer to Question 1

a . What is the best conflict mode/strategy that Mandy should adopt in this instance to persuade her boss to assign the important project to her? Is there more than one mode/strategy she should consider? Explain your answer.

Mandy should probably first focus on the tasks that she considers menial but that her boss considers to be important and demonstrate that she can perform these tasks adequately. From this standpoint, she should accommodate her boss and not engage in discussion with her boss, which demonstrates for the time being a willingness to place the importance of her relationship with her boss over her interests in achieving the outcome she desires.
Once Mandy has demonstrated her ability to perform these tasks, Mandy should seek to collaborate with her boss and find ways to be assigned more meaningful tasks. Mandy will need to show how she can take on the more important project to satisfy her interests while continuing to adequately perform the menial tasks to satisfy her boss's interests.

b. With respect to each of the conflict modes/strategies you did not select, why would Mandy be less effective in persuading her boss to assign the project to her?

Answer to Question 2

Precedent in a common law system ensures that all parties in all cases be treated with consistency and fairness in the court system, in that a court cannot arbitrarily create its own law.
