Please number each answer and answer separately. Answer the following questions:
1. At the end of the case, Felipe wants to take action but knows that he will face resistance from others. Help him to plan his communication strategy in “giving voice to his values” by answering the following questions:
a. Felipe perceives the working conditions in the factory to be unethical. Why do you think he feels this way? Use the PLUS model in your response. Be specific.
b. What is at stake for the key parties in keeping the status quo (not making any changes)? Be specific in identifying these stakeholders and what matters to them.
c. What are the main arguments against making changes that Felipe needs to anticipate? That is, what are the reasons and rationalizations from other people that he will need to address? Be specific.
d. What do you think is Felipe’s most powerful and persuasive response to the reasons and rationalizations he needs to address? Be specific.
2. What specific communication action do you recommend Felipe take in the next five days (at the end of the case)? Whom should he communicate with, when, and where? About what? Explain the reasoning behind your recommendation. Focus only on the next five days.
