The document discusses organizational conflict, negotiation, politics, and change. It defines organizational conflict as discord arising from incompatible goals between individuals or groups. Some conflict is inevitable and can improve performance, but too much hinders progress. Managers must address sources of conflict, like interpersonal or intergroup differences. Negotiation can involve distributive bargaining that is win-lose or integrative bargaining that is win-win. Organizational politics refer to activities managers engage in to influence others and increase their power to achieve goals or drive change. Managing change involves assessing needs, deciding on and implementing changes, then evaluating results against benchmarks.
