Conflict and Negotiation Process in the Organization

Abstract

Conflict is a natural and inevitable occurrence in any organizational setting which makes it unavoidable; hence the introduction of concepts like conflict management., conflict resolution and negotiation. These concepts are supremely important on harnessing the benefits of healthy conflicts; while also decimating conflicts that debilitate organizations. The review focuses on types and dimensions of conflicts with various acceptable ways to handle them in an organization, which in the end will enhance achievement of organizational goals, employee effectiveness and strategy alignment across all cadre of employees. Unresolved Conflict with the multidimensional cost is the bane of progress in any organization, whether it is sovereign, public or private, and as such demands a thorough blend of study for complete grasp of the underlying factors and conflict dynamics. The organization that will excel in productivity, profitability, agility and sustainability must incorporate effective management of conflict, as a critical success factor in its quest to achieve and surpass corporate objectives.
