project delays,
disruptions, and
changes to planned
activities and the
methods for claims
variations, liquidated
damages, contract
entitlements, and
arbitration.
The objective of this week’s topic is to make sure you have an appreciation of
the Role of the Project Manager in Commercial Negotiation.
Try to ask yourself the questions that were in the slides in this week’s lecture: -
1) What is the Consequence of Disputes, Claims, Variations, and
Arbitration?
Disputes, claims as well as variations can raise number of problems as well as
issues. It is identified that the variations as well as disputes and claims generally
displays negativity about the capability of leader and about the relation that the
leader manages with its workers. It is analyzed that all this further minimizes the
performance as well as production of the organization that further creates
financial impacts.
2) How can we Avoid Disputes, Claims, Variations, and Arbitration?
By using proper as well as significant strategies, it will be quite easy to handle
disputes, claims as well as variations within the organization. It is very much
necessary to hire a leader who has all the characteristics of leadership and has
the ability of managing the team of the project very much effectively. In addition
to this, for resolving the disputes and claims it is necessary to communicate
properly with the team members of the project.
3) What happens if we don’t Avoid Disputes, Claims, Variations, and
Arbitration?
If disputes, variations as well as claims are not avoided within the project then it
will be quite difficult for the project manager to successfully proceed with the
project and thus the entire progress of the project can get negatively.
