This document discusses power, politics, and conflict in organizations. It defines power as one's ability to influence another's behavior, and identifies different bases of power including formal power from one's position, and personal power from expertise or relationships. Politics involve attempts to influence the distribution of advantages, and can be seen as either legitimate or illegitimate depending on methods used. Conflict is analyzed as a natural result of incompatibilities, and can be functional or dysfunctional for a group's goals. The document outlines the conflict process and different approaches to handling conflict.
