11.2 Action Required: (Knowledge Application)
This activity is important because managers should understand the importance of power, influence and politics in organizations. Power and influence positively affect job performance and organizational commitment. Influence is an important tool to navigate organizational politics, if used appropriately.
The goal of this activity is to demonstrate your understanding of power, influence, and politics by reading a case and answering questions that follow.
Case Analysis (Organizational Politics at Google)
Google only wants “civil” behavior at work. Talk about work at work, talk about politics elsewhere. The multinational technology company announced to its over 100,000 employees in August 2019 that nonwork topics were causing disruption. Specifically, political arguments have taken a large role in the company’s online forums.
This is an interesting turn of events, given that the company has long been an example of a relaxed and creative culture. In the prior months, the company was accused of suppressing conservative political views in searches. A leaked video after the 2016 presidential election showed the displeasure of the Google executives with the election results. Over the next months, the online internal platforms for employee discussion became increasingly argumentative and, in some cases, worse.
Organizational politics are, of course, not the same as government politics. But this situation at Google could easily lead to organizational political behavior. Any strong expression of opinions by executives exerts influence on employees. At Google, the video of executives expressing negative opinions about the election immediately takes advantage of their power to influence subordinates. Those who are not of the same political opinions as the executives are now excluded from a circle of those who do agree. This can easily lead to those people either receding from involvement and hiding their views or taking an aggressive stance that further causes work problems.
Excluding employees can often be unintended. But when you are pushed out of the important discussions and decisions, especially by superiors, you are then on the “outs.” This can lead to low performance and commitment, and even leaving the organization in more serious cases. Political behavior on the part of those who are in agreement with executives can then bond further, whether intentionally or not. Based on this, Google’s direction with their new policies about topics allowed in internal communication are, therefore, not as shocking as they might appear.
11.3 Test your knowledge:(Questions)
1. Your boss asks you to attend a meeting to participate in a serious discussion of corporate policies that you disagree with. After the meeting, you are convinced and agree completely with the policies, showing you experienced what reaction to the meeting’s influence?
2. People who share opinions with executives may try to use that to enter into more social circles and meet powerful people who also agree, expressing what type of political skill?
11.4 Instructions:
Read the following case about politics at work and answer the questions that follow. Post your answer in the discussion board using the discussion link below

Case Summary
During December 2012, Jorge Paulo Lemann, a co-founder and partner at 3G, proposed to Warren Buffett that 3G and Berkshire Hathaway acquire H. J. Heinz Company. Lemann and Buffett, who had known each other for years, jointly decided that the Heinz turnaround had been successful and that there was significant potential for continued global growth. 3G informed Heinz CEO William Johnson that it and Berkshire Hathaway were interested in jointly acquiring his company. Johnson then presented the investors’ offer of $70.00 per share of outstanding stock to the Heinz board.
At a meeting on January 15, 2013, the Heinz board appointed a transaction committee and voted to retain Centerview and Bank of America Merrill Lynch as its advisors. The board and advisors discussed the trends that are negatively impacting Heinz, including low international GDP growth. They also discussed option to sale, including remaining a standalone company or pursuing acquisition by another company in the food and beverage industry. After updating its strategic plan and financial projections, Heinz informed 3G that without better financial terms it would not continue to discuss the possibility of an acquisition. Two days later, 3G and Berkshire Hathaway returned with a revised proposal of $72.50 per share, for a total transaction value of $28 billion (including Heinz’s outstanding debt). A week after the new proposal, Heinz agreed to continue discussing the acquisition.
Following a forty-day “go-shop” period (permitting Heinz some time to look for other investors), on February 13, Heinz, 3G, and Berkshire Hathaway agreed to sign the deal. On that day, investment advisors presented to the Heinz board their opinions that the acquirers’ offer was fair financial perspective. The transaction committee of the board also provided its approval of the acquisition, allowing execution of a merger agreement and a press release announcing the transaction. But was this, in fact, a fair deal?

Question
What was the acquisition premium? Was this reasonable? Explain with analysis.
Guidance:
Show your work for calculating the premium. List any assumptions you made and why they are reasonable. Is the acquisition premium comparable with the average premium paid in M&A? if premium is above the average why is it reasonable? If it is below the average why is it also reasonable?
show the steps and give the detailed explanation

This
is a great start to your final paper! You have a lot of ideas which you
may need to focus on what interest you the most (otherwise you may feel
overwhelmed with information).
I like that you mention the 3
different approaches to witches that we have been using all term– this
is great and will help guide your paper.
I would encourage you to focus on certain cultures or a time period.
