,Q1. In a high-stakes negotiation, one party employs a 'good cop/bad cop' tactic.
Which countermeasure is most effective in neutralizing this psychological ploy?
A. Directly confront the 'bad cop' about the tactic
B. Ignore the 'bad cop' and focus solely on the 'good cop'
C. Reframe the interaction by addressing both parties equally and maintaining focus on
interests
D. Match the tactic by assigning roles to your own team
Correct Answer: C. Reframe the interaction by addressing both parties equally and
maintaining focus on interests
Rationale: The most effective countermeasure is to reframe the interaction by treating
both parties as equals and steering the conversation back to interests and objective
criteria. This neutralizes the emotional manipulation and prevents the tactic from dividing
your attention. Direct confrontation (A) often escalates conflict, while ignoring (B) may
leave the 'bad cop' free to anchor against you. Matching the tactic (D) can lead to a
destructive cycle of manipulation.
Why Wrong:
A - Direct confrontation can escalate tension and derail the negotiation.
B - Ignoring the 'bad cop' may allow them to position as an unreasonable barrier,
creating false anchors.
D - Matching the tactic escalates adversarial dynamics and may harm long-term
relationships.

Q2. A company faces a decision where the most profitable option involves significant
environmental harm. According to stakeholder theory, which consideration should be
paramount?
A. Maximizing shareholder value, as they are the primary stakeholders
B. Balancing the interests of all stakeholders, including the environment
C. Compliance with existing environmental regulations
D. The long-term profitability of the company
Correct Answer: B. Balancing the interests of all stakeholders, including the
environment
Rationale: Stakeholder theory asserts that a company should consider the interests of all
parties affected by its actions, not just shareholders. This includes the environment and the
community. Maximizing shareholder value (A) is a shareholder primacy view, which is
contrary to stakeholder theory. Compliance (C) is a legal minimum, not a moral guideline.
Long-term profitability (D) is a business consideration but does not inherently address the
ethical dimension.

, Why Wrong:
A - Shareholder primacy is a contrasting theory that prioritizes shareholder returns
over other stakeholders.
C - Compliance is a legal baseline, not a sufficient ethical standard.
D - Profitability alone does not address the ethical obligations to all stakeholders.

Management.' In The Blackwell Handbook of Strategic Management.
Q3. A researcher finds a statistically significant result (p < 0.05) but the effect size is
very small. Which conclusion is most appropriate?
A. The result is practically significant and important
B. The result may be statistically significant but not practically meaningful
C. The result is likely due to a Type I error
D. The result is likely due to a Type II error
Correct Answer: B. The result may be statistically significant but not practically
meaningful
Rationale: Statistical significance indicates that the observed effect is unlikely to be due to
chance, but it does not imply practical importance. A small effect size suggests that the
practical implications may be negligible. Practical significance (A) is not warranted. A
Type I error (C) is a false positive, which is not indicated by a significant p-value alone. A
Type II error (D) is a false negative, which is not relevant when the null hypothesis is
rejected.
Why Wrong:
A - Practical significance requires a meaningful effect size, not just a low p-value.
C - A small p-value reduces the risk of a Type I error, not increases it.
D - A Type II error occurs when failing to reject a false null hypothesis, which is not
the case here.

Confidence Intervals, and Meta-Analysis, 2nd Ed., Ch. 3.
Q4. In a criminal trial, the defense presents an expert witness who testifies that the
defendant's confession was coerced due to sleep deprivation. Which legal standard is
most relevant to the admissibility of this testimony?
A. The Daubert standard
B. The Frye standard
C. The Miranda rule
D. The hearsay rule
Correct Answer: A. The Daubert standard
