An important contribution to the literature of organizational
behavior and communication, this volume explores the strategies and
issues involved in conflict management. The contributors represent
a variety of academic disciplines and their treatment of the
subject is both comprehensive and multidisciplinary in nature.
Taking as their focus the premise that certain types and levels of
conflict can have positive consequences, the authors present an
in-depth look at the techniques available to manage conflict within
organizations and groups, between individuals, and among
nations.
The volume is divided into five major sections, each addressing
a particular aspect of conflict management. In Part One, the
contributors look at organization conflict, examining issues such
as interpersonal conflict on the job, the nature of destructive
criticism, and different styles of handling conflict. The second
section addresses the critical relationship between communication
and conflict with separate chapters devoted to communications
theory, divorce mediation, the role of argumentation in bargaining,
and bargaining strategies. Subsequent sections discuss negotiation
and mediation, while the final section provides an integrated
perspective on conflict management theory and practice. Each
section begins an introductory essay that sets the following papers
in context, making this an ideal set of readings for courses in
organizational behavior, resources management, and
communications.
