Case study：read the following case and answer the following questions:
1. Why did the young chairman say nothing but just nodded and agreed with his grandfather?
2. How would you behave if you found yourself in a similar situation as Phil?
Phil Downing, an eager young executive, was involved in the setting up of a branch of his company that was merging with an existing Japanese counterpart. He seemed to get along very well with the executive colleagues assigned to work with him, one of whom had recently been elected chairman of the board when his grandfather retired. Over several weeks’ discussion, they had generally laid out some working policies and agreed on strategies that would bring new directions needed for development.
Several days later, as they were going over some details, the young chairman’s grandfather happened to drop in. He began to comment on how the company had been formed and had been built up by the traditional practices that the young executives had recently discarded. Phil expected the new chairman to explain some of the new innovative and developmental policies they had both agreed upon. However, the young man said nothing; instead, he just nodded and agreed with his grandfather. Phil was bewildered and frustrated over the days of work he had put into the development of those strategies, and he started to protest. The atmosphere in the room became immediately tense, but no one offered any further argument.
A week later the Japanese company withdrew from the negotiations concerning a relationship with Phil’s company.
