Problem setting and competition outline
This competition consists of arbitration (Round A) and negotiation (Round B), each of them is divided into Japanese and English part. Each team performed enthusiastically to play a role of company.
In the arbitration part, they started with the theme of trouble regarding 2 incidents.
The first incident is as follows. Blue Corporation (electronic manufacturer) ordered mobile phone parts to Red Corporation (electronic parts manufacturer) by telephone and FAX. However, there were differences in the model number of parts. Matters concerning completion of a contract became the point of issue. The second incident is when Blue Corporation worker, who is on loan to Red Corporation for a development of new model, made a report to Blue Corporation by his personal computer, data was leaked. An executive responsibility of loaned worker and a content of confidentiality became the point of issue.
Also, in the negotiation part, it’s discussed about what mobile phone business should be between Red Corporation and Blue Corporation. This time, a style of negotiation was different from previous time, that is, each company confirmed the strategy of negotiation and scope of authority with their president (judge) in advance and started negotiations. Then, they reported the result to their president.
