What general points would you give a fellow manager regarding the use of the different conflict resolution approaches?

What will be an ideal response?


While answers will vary, student answers may touch upon the following. • Use a dominating approach on important issues where you are certain you are right and where the benefit of a resolution outweighs the drawback of possible negative feelings by the dominated group. • Use an accommodating approach in disputes that are of far greater importance to the other group than they are to your group. • Use a problem-solving approach when both groups are willing to invest time and effort to reach a resolution that maximizes everyone's outcome. • Use an avoiding approach primarily as a temporary expedient to buy more time. • Use a compromising approach as a middle ground. It is a good backup approach when other approaches (mainly dominating and problem solving) fail to resolve the issue.
