However, groups must recognize the distinction between conflicts that occur due to differences and conflicts that occur due to selfish reasons.

By using analysis tools examining Conflict and Negotiation Processes in Organizations and the Conflict-Intensity Continuum, management can better determine causes and processes within conflict.

Discussion Questions Do you think this conflict could have been prevented? The conflict could have definitely been prevented. To me it seems that Maria at one point did try to deescalate the situation, but followed up with 'you' language. Both, Maria and Vicki, should be more conscious of their 'I' and 'you' language as it makes a big difference. Should Vicki and Maria just drop it and not discuss it?
