Editor's Notes

  • #2 Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means. The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

That factor is attitude. The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.

  • #13 1 Downward trajectory Acquisitions High competition
  • #19 Meezan shows a lot of restraint in terms of conflict
  • #20 The motivation behind this study is to improve understanding of the role played by line managers in organisations, particularly in relation to how they help solve workplace conflict. Should line managers involve themselves into workplace or not?
  • #21 from our study. First, line managers were found to be formally involved in the routine management and resolution of workplace conflict in many organisations but commonly without formal training or recurrent assessment of their competence in this area. Second, the study found empirical support for the argument that emerges frequently in the literature that line and supervisory engagement in conflict management is associated with a range of positive organisational outcomes, which are particularly relevant to employers: . This third finding suggests that the strong argument made in the literature that line and supervisory engagement needs to be aligned with an integrated and modernised ADR-based conflictmanagement system may be overplayed (Bendersky, 2007). A fourth finding of the study is that line and supervisory managers’ engagement, defined in terms of routine, confident and independent involvement in conflict management, supported by training, monitored and incentivised by recurrent performance assessment, is most developed in firms that have adopted commitment-oriented HR practices.
  • #22 he franchisor’s use and management of advertising funds that were collected from franchisees and then Manifest conflict can be concluded or resolved by a number of methods, including mutual agreement, arbitration, legal verdict, or even dissolution of the relationship. Despite the resolution of a manifest conflict episode, however, it is likely that some residual hostility will remain among the parties. Supporting these notions, prior research The franchise system during aftermath thus comprises two groups of franchisees: those that experienced the turmoil of manifest conflict and those that joined the system subsequent to its resolution.
  • #24 Work–family conflict has been defined as a conflict that occurs between work roles and family roles, resulting from the highly demanding pressures associated with each role and reducing performance in both role The central aim of this article is to extend what is currently known about work–family conflict by examining the different effects of the three forms of work–family conflict on organizational outcomes among a sample of Italian nurses. Specifically, we aim to verify what effects time-, strain- and behavior-based conflict have on nurses’ job satisfaction at different levels of organizational commitment. THE MODERATING ROLE OF ORGANISATIONAL COMMITMENT
  • #26 In this article, Mr.Coleman’s challenging new book about intractable conflicts offers such a framework. Intractable conflicts? very difficult or impossible to control, manage, or solve
  • #28 For decades, scholars have argued that exit represents one of the key events in the relationship between external investors and entrepreneurs (Black & Gilson, 1998; Mason, 2006). In line with the broader literature on the investor–investee . Goal conflicts were taken as a starting point in Jehn’s definition of team task conflict. As far as angel investor exit is concerned, there exit is the part of their investment process and return maximization is an important objective to consider in the exit decision. Whereas Entrepreneurial Exit much likes investors, leave their ventures through wide variety mechanisms. They can leave voluntarily or involuntarily; they can disband the venture or sell it to third parties, employees or family members; or their ventures can fail. Moreover, the writer contributed to the entrepreneurship literature in two ways. First, this study extends the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial and investor exit by incorporating the relationship in which they are embedded. Second, this study is the first to examine drivers of angel investor exit, an issue that is uniquely important, since the ventures in which they tend to invest are very early stage and thus sensitive to the consequences of investor exit. results support the view that both perceived and actual incompatibilities should be considered important because each has a unique, significant role to play in the conflict process.
