Conflict Management Prof. Alexia Muteke-Ceppi 20 to 22 February 2012 MODULE DESCRIPTION Differences are inevitable in an organisation having members with different experiences, attitudes and expectations. However, some conflicts can support organizational goals. Indeed, too little conflict may lead to apathy, lack of creativity, indecision and missed-out deadlines. Clashes of ideas about tasks also help in choosing better tasks and projects. These are ‘functional conflicts’. The most difficult conflicts are those arising out of value differences. The key issue is to understand the real cause of the differences. Every resolution of a conflict can also feed a new conflict in a group. It is, therefore, useful to see conflicts as a series of expressions of existing differences within a group, having some links to each other. How organisations deal with conflicts largely affects the efficiency level of its functioning on the entire value chain. This module analyses the root causes of conflict and systems to manage effective communication in organisations.
