Ways of responding to conflicts are especially important, therefore, to all professionals and policy-makers who deal with human relations, where conflict can be a major feature. This book is a unique presentation of the views of practitioners, theorists and researchers from a variety of disciplines, looking at conflict resolution. It looks at constructive alternatives to the traditional ways of dealing with conflict, providing solutions which fall outside the usual 'win-lose' parameters. It is also a 'state-of-the-art' examination of the newly emerging field of conflict management, which is currently gaining ground as a specific area of study in the United States throughout the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflict in the workplace is a perennial problem for organizations. Whether it's a disagreement between colleagues, a dispute with management or large-scale industrial action, conflict negatively affects both people and profits as employee morale and productivity fall. Endorsed by the CIPD, Managing Conflict is an essential guide for HR professionals needing to tackle these problems by not only resolving current issues, but also preventing future instances of conflict. Going beyond interpersonal conflict, the book also looks at resolving board room disputes, disputes with shareholders, in the supply chain, commercial disputes and customer complaints. The first part of Managing Conflict covers the causes and costs of conflict, the impact of the psychological contract and the legal framework for managing workplace disputes both in the UK and internationally. The second part of the book provides a blueprint for redefining resolution and building a culture of constructive conflict management, from designing a conflict management strategy and developing a formal resolution process to embedding mediation, engaging stakeholders and training managers in resolution and mediation skills. This book also includes conflict resolution toolkits for managers, HR teams, employees and unions to help tackle conflict and bullying at work. Packed with best practice case studies from major UK and global organizations, this is an indispensable guide for all HR professionals looking to resolve conflict in the workplace. Online supporting resources include a conflict health check tool, conflict cost calculator, and checklist for developing an internal mediation scheme.

Book excerpt: “An excellent workbook-like guide” to the nuts and bolts of professional conflict and the strategies you need to make conflict work for you (Booklist, starred review). Every workplace is a minefield of conflict, and all office tension is shaped by power. Making Conflict Work teaches you to identify the nature of a conflict, determine your power position relative to anyone opposing you, and use the best strategy for achieving your goals. These strategies are equally effective for executives, managers and their direct reports, consultants, and attorneys—anyone who has ever had a disagreement with someone in their organization. Packed with helpful self-assessment exercises and action plans, this book gives you the tools you need to achieve greater satisfaction and success. “A genuine winner.” —Robert B.

Yet because of its pervasive nature as a subject, drawing on so many different disciplines, there has long been a need for a reader, bringing together many of the most important and representative essays written to date. This book aims to fill the gap. Equally important, a comprehensive bibliography further anchors the subject - providing academics, diplomats, students and others interested in conflict studies with an excellent basis for future research.

Book excerpt: In this book John Burton and Frank Dukes place their theory of conflict and its resolution in a wider context by exploring both theoretical and practical issues of resolving difference and by categorizing types of disputes and conflicts. By broadening their focus beyond the nature of conflict the authors discuss such methods of resolution as Alternative Dispute Resolution, second track diplomacy, various forms of mediation, community efforts to resolve social tension, and other endeavours which seek cooperative relations at all societal levels.
