Using what you have read in chapter eight of your textbook, does organizational conflict mean bad management?

What will be an ideal response?


An acceptable answer will address the literature around the social functions of conflict and note that it would be naïve to see conflict as always bad. Better students will discuss how conflict can be a source of creativity, innovation and change. The best answers will draw upon an understanding that locates conflict in broader notions of democracy and citizenship and the necessity of good management not to diminish opportunities for these and that minimizing dissent may, in the long run, be the worst kind of management.
