Ideally,ahostagesituationendswitheveryonewalkingaway.Inthisarticle,we'llfindoutwhathappensonthesceneofahostagenegotiation,howanegotiatorgetsthejobdone.Wewillalsotakealookatthepsychologyofhostage-takers.

TheHostageSituation

Althoughhostagesituationscanvarygreatlybasedonthemotivationsofthehostage-takerandtheexactcircumstancessurroundingtheincident,therearesomebasicfactsthatapplytoallhostagesituations.

Thehostage-takerwantstoobtainsomething.Thiscanbeassimpleasmoney,personalsafetyorsalepassagetoanothercountry,oritcaninvolvecomplicatedpoliticalgoals.

Thetargetofthehostage-takerisnotthehostage;itissomethirdparty(aperson,acompanyoragovernment)thatcanprovidewhateveritisthehostage-taker'wants.

Thehostagesarebargainingchips.Theymayhavesymbolicvalue(asatthe1972MunichOlympics,inwhichthetargetwastheIsraeligovernmentandthehostageswereIsraeliathletes),butthehostagesthemselvescouldbeanyone.

Hostagesituationsmovethroughseveraldistinctphases.

InitialPhase—Thisphaseisviolentandbriefandlastsaslongasittakesforthehostage-takerstomaketheirassaultandsubdue(慑服)thehostages.Theendofthisphaseisoftenmarkedbythepresentationofthehostagetakers'demands.

NegotiationPhase—Atthispoint,law-enforcementofficialsareonthescene,andthedemandshaveprobablybeenreceived.Thisphasecanlasthours,daysormonthsandcouldalsobereferredtoas"thestandoff(均衡)phase."Physically,nothingaboutthesituationchangesgreatly.Thehostagesandthehostage-takersstayinthesameplace.However,alotishappeningduringthisphaseintermsoftherelationshipsdevelopingbetweeneveryoneinvolved.Thenegotiator'sjobboilsdowntomanipulatingthoserelationshipsinawaythatresultsinapeacefulending.

TerminationPhase—Thisisthebrief,sometimesviolentfinalphase.Thisphasehasoneofthroeresults:Thehostage-takerssurrenderpeacefullyandarearrested.Policeassaultthehostage-takersandkillorarrestthem.Thehostage-takers'demandsaregranted,andtheyescape.

Thefateofthehostagesdoesnotnecessarilydependonwhathappensduringtheterminationphase.Evenifthehostage-takersgiveup,theymayhavekilledthehostagesduringthenegotiations.Often,hostagesarekilledeitheraccidentallybypoliceorintentionallybytheircaptorsduringanassault.Therehaveevenbeencasesinwhichthehostage-takersweregrantedtheirdemands,buttheykilledahostageanyway.

8.PrinciplesinJapaneseOrganizations

Duringthe1970sand1980s,AmericanmanagersinvestedmuchtimeandmoneystudyingJapaneseapproachestomanagementbecauseofthefinequalityofJapaneseproductsandthegeneralproductivityoftheirorganizations.WhiletheAmericanandJapaneseculturesdiffersignificantlyinmanyways,itisstillpossibletoexamineJap0nesemanagementanddiscoverseveralrelevantprinciples.

ExtensivestudiesofJapaneseorganizationshavedemonstratedthatJapanesemanagersstressthefollowing:

Bottom-upInitiative

Japanesemanagersbelievethatchangeandinitiativewithinanorganizationshouldcomefromthoseclosesttotheproblem.Sotheyelicit(引起)changefrombelow.Top-levelJapanesemanagersseetheirtaskascreatinganatmosphereinwhichsubordinatesaremotivatedtoseekbettersolutions.ThedifferenceisthatWesternstyle.decision-makingproceedsmostlyfromtopmanagementandoftendoesnotconsultmiddlemanagementortheworkerwhileinJapan,ideascanbecreatedatthelowestlevels,travelupwardthroughanorganizationandhaveanimpactontheeventualdecision.Thisis"bottomup".

TopManagementasMotivator

Japanesemanagersdonotviewthemselvesashavingalltheanswers.Whenasubordinatebringsinaproposal,themanagerneitheracceptsnorrejectsit.Rather,hetactfully,politelyasksquestions,makessuggestions,andprovidesencouragement.

MiddleManagementasImpetusforandShaperofSolutions

IntheJapanesesystem,junior(middle)managersareinitiatorswhoperceiveproblemsandformulatetentative(尝试的)solutionsincoordinationwithothers.Theyarenotfunctionalspecialistswhocarryouttheirboss'sdirectives.Becausesomuchemphasisisplacedoncoordinationandintegration,'solutionstoproblemsevolvemoreslowly,buttheyareknownandunderstoodbyallthosewhohavebeenapartofthesolutiongenerationprocess.Horizontalcommunicationisstressedasessentialtothecoordinationofproblem-solvingefforts.

Consensus(多数人的意见)asaWayofMakingDecisions

TheJapanesearelessinclinedtothinkintermsofabsolutes,thatis,thesolution(whichisright)versusthealternatives(whicharewrong).Rather,theyrecognizearangeofalternatives,severalofwhichmightworkandallofwhichpossessadvantagesanddisadvantages.Whenagroupmakesadecision,allmembersbecomecommittedtothechosensolution.FromaJapaneseperspective,thatcommitment,andtheensuingdedicationtowardworkingtomakethesolutionsuccessful,isprobablymoreimportantthantheobjectivequalityofthedecision.TheJapanesehaveaninterestingconceptofconsensus.Thosewhoconsenttoadecisionarenotnecessarilyendorsing(签署)it.Rather,consentmeansthateachpersonissatisfiedthathispointofviewhasbeenfairlyheard,andalthoughheorshemaynotwhollyagreethatthedecisionisthebestone,heorsheiswillingtogoalongwithitandevensupportit.

ConcernforEmployees'PersonalWell-being

Japanesemanagershaveakindofpaternalistic(家长试作风的)attitudetowardtheiremployees.Traditionally,Japaneseorganizationshaveofferedtheirworkershousing,extensiverecreationalfacilities,andlifetimeemployment.TheJapanesebelievethatitisimpossibletodivorceaworker'spersonalandprofessionallives.Goodmanagersexpressconcernforworkersaspersonswithhomesandfamiliesaswellasforthequalityoftheproductstheworkersproduce.Managerstypicallyworkalongsidetheirsubordinates,counselthemregardingtheirpersonallives,andencouragemuchpeerinteraction.

Lotsofpeoplecomplainthatofficemultitaskingdrivesthemnuts.ButMarkstudieshowhigh-techdevicesaffectourbehavior,soshewasabletodomorethancomplain,shesetouttomeasurehownutswe'veallbecome.Shewatchedcubicle(办公室隔间)dwellersastheysurfedthechaosofmodernofficelifeandfoundeachemployeespentonlyten-and-a-halfminutesonanygivenprojectbeforebeinginterrupted.Eachshortprojectwasitselffragmentedintothree-minutetasks,likeansweringe-mailmessagesorworkingonasheet.

Mark'sstudyalsorevealedthatinterruptionsareoftencrucialtoofficework.Thehigh-techworkersadmittedthatmanyoftheirdailydistractionswereessentialtotheirjobs.Whensomeoneforwardsyouanurgente-mailmessage,it'softensomethingyoureallydoneedtosee;ifamobilephonecallbreaksthrough,itmightbethecallthatsavesyourhide.

TheBirthofMultitasking

Thescienceofinterruptionsbeganmorethan100yearsagowiththeemergenceoftelegraphoperators--thefirsthigh-stress,time-sensitiveinformation-technologyjobs.Psychologistsdiscoveredthatifsomeonespoketoatelegraphoperatorwhilehewaskeyingamessage,theoperatorwasmorelikelytomakeerrors.Later,psychologistsdeterminedthatwheneverworkersneededtofocusonajobthatrequiredthemonitoringofdata,presentationwasallimportant.Usingthisknowledge,cockpits(驾驶舱)forfighterpilotswerecarefullydesignedsothateachdialandmetercouldbereadwithjustaglance.

Still,suchissuesseemedremotefromthelivesofeverydayworkers.Then,inthe1990s,computersbegantoexperiencearapidincreaseinspeedandpower."Multitasking"wasborn;insteadofsimplyworkingononeprogramforhoursatatime,acomputeruserworksonseveralsimultaneously.Officeworkersnowstareatcomputerscreensofoverwhelmingcomplexity,astheyjuggle(操纵)messages,textdocuments,PowerPointpresentationsandWebbrowsers.Inthemodernofficeweareallfighterpilots.
