Description

This edited collection examines organisational conflict and how it is handled in seven different countries (and cultures) around the globe: France, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain and Turkey. Experts on each country discuss: how various social, cultural and economic forces affect conflict management; how managerial styles differ with regard to organisational and interpersonal conflict management; the alternative dispute mechanisms available in each country for the resolution of conflict; and how general managerial effectiveness can be improved with respect to organisational conflict.
