The Importance of Conflict Management for COMM 2105 Students
The Importance of Conflict Management for COMM 2105 Students
When groups are able to manage conflict effectively, they are able to improve their ability for decision making and positive outcomes. While on the other hand when conflict is managed ineffectively, the productivity of the group declines and dysfunction ensues (Rispens et al., 2021).
Does Conflict Need to be Managed the Same Way?
Does Conflict Need to be Managed the Same Way?
Conflict management styles between group members do not have to be the same. Difference in conflict management styles is labeled as "asymmetry" by some scholars and is actually beneficial. Differences allow groups to avoid premature consensuses and group think (Rispens et al., 2021).
Our team is expanding upon the knowledge in COMM 2105 because we believe a deep understanding of the many kinds of conflict will help not only within small groups. This knowledge can be applied and utilized throughout one's life in school, within the workplace, and many other social dynamics.
