Within certain limits, conflict can be essential to productivity. This book contributes to the investigation of organizational conflict by analysing its origins, forms, benefits, and consequences.</p><p>Conflict has benefits: it may lead to solutions to problems, creativity, and innovation. In contrast, little or no conflict in organizations may lead to stagnation, poor decisions, and ineffectiveness. <em>Managing Conflict in Organizations</em> is a vigorous analysis of the rational application of conflict theory in organizations.</p><p>Conflict is inevitable among humans. It is a natural outcome of human interaction that begins when two or more social entities engage one another while striving to attain their own objectives. Relationships among people or organizations become incompatible or inconsistent when two or more of them desire a similar resource that is in short supply; when they do not share behavioural preferences regarding their joint action; or when they have different attitudes, values, beliefs, and skills. This book examines these root causes of organizational conflict and offers constructive perspectives on its consequences.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>-I recommend this work for every serious management library, personal and institutional, for those teaching in the area of conflict management, and for anyone who wants to learn conflict management well enough to do consulting work in this important field.-</p> <p>--<em>The International Journal of Conflict Management</em></p> <p>-Rahim combines an impressive literature review, several empirical studies unique to this work, and textbook-style exercises. This book is a useful resource for business managers as well as undergraduate and graduate students of organizational behavior, organizational and industrial psychology, or organizational communication. Recommended- </p> <p>--G.E. Kaupins, <em>Choice</em></p> <p>-Many books on negotiation and conflict resolution suffer because they do not link the topic to the broader literature on organizational behavior. In contrast, Rahim's book does a nice job of linking conflict to other important organizational activities such as organizational learning, leadership, and organizational effectiveness. The book has value to researchers and practioners alike.-</p> <p>--Donald E.
