The concept of conflict, being an outcome of behaviours, is
an integral part of human life. Wherever there is
interaction, there is conflict.
Conflict can be considered as an expression of hostility,
negative attitudes, antagonism, aggression, rivalry and
misunderstanding.
According to LOUIS R. PONDY, “CONFLICT” is:
ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS: For ex. Scarcity of resources,
policy differences among individuals, etc.
Effective states of the individuals involved, for ex. :
Stress, tension, hostility, anxiety, etc.
Cognitive states of individuals, i.e., their perception of
awareness of conflict situations.
It is a process that begins when one party
perceives that another party has negatively
affected, or is about to negatively affect
something that the first party cares about.
Conflict is a psychological state of mind when
people are in a dilemma whether to do or not to
do a thing, is a state of conflict.

the risk to gain
more profit.
I have to stop
giving funds
unnecessarily or
we might incur
losses.

about what is

COMMUNICATE
• Taking things out &
explaining
• People need to express
thoughts & ideas
tactfully
NEGOTIATE
• When two or more
people want to work out
conflict themselves,
they might follow a set
of steps
MEDIATE
• The opposite parties
meet with a third party
who acts as a mediator.
ARBITRATE
• Is much more similar to
a formal litigation where
an arbitrator will act as
judge & hear out both
sides.
LITIGATE
• When people cant work
out their conflicts
themselves, then they
may go to court & have
a trial.
LEGISLATE
• To make something the
law or rule.

COMPANY
INTERFERENCE – NON-PERFORMANCE
NANO PROJECT
CONCLUSION
Cyrus Mistry still enjoys the support of the
biggest shareholder of the group, although this
cannot help him legally, but he could use this fact
to pressurize the group. He has filed his reply
stating that he was removed from his office
illegally and has submitted certain documents as
evidence to prove that Mr Ratan Tata has been
interfering in his work.
