In the context of conflict management strategies, differentiate between the competitive strategy and the cooperative strategy.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. Overall strategies to deal with conflict can be classified as competitive versus cooperative strategies. The competitive strategy is founded on assumptions of win-lose and entails dishonest communication, mistrust, and a rigid position from both parties. The cooperative strategy is founded on different assumptions: the potential for win-win outcomes, honest communication, trust, openness to risk and vulnerability, and the notion that the whole may be greater than the sum of the parts. Please see the section "Conflict Management Strategies and Techniques" for more information.
