The company also intends to do some cost cutting to compete sever competition in the market. The board has approved the team's strategic plan of outsourcing to India and Ireland to increase profit margins and avail technical expertise demanded by their customers.
The executive team is a mixture of new and old team members. The negotiation issue here is to communicate to union and employees about the outsourcing decision which would result in jobs layoffs and will also result in relocation of some jobs with lower pay rates.

It also depends on what different alternatives the executive team can offer to decrease the dissatisfaction and negative response from the employees.
The paper presents various alternative solutions and scrutinizes their viability against future scenarios after much research and taking into consideration the knowledge derived from the course.
