Conflict IdentificationandResolution

[WLOs: 2, 4] [CLOs: 2, 3, 4]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 7: Conflict and Negotiation about the conflicts and negotiation arising in an organization. We live in a very complex and culturally diverse society. When we bring individuals together from diverse backgrounds in a work environment conflict can arise when expectations are not realized or met. Rather than hoping conflict will go away, this paper will explore and identify the reasons for conflict and how to successfully address them in a team environment.

In your paper,

Analyze at least three potential conflict outcomes within an organization or team with which you are familiar.

Identify and describe the source(s) and level of the conflict and support with evidence.

Describe the steps taken to resolve the conflict or, if it is an ongoing conflict, propose steps to resolve the conflict.

Describe at least three conflict outcomes that could reasonably occur because of the conflict resolution. Support your reasoning for each possible outcome.
