The document presents a case study on conflict between Neil and Susan, who work in different departments of a company. Their argument in a meeting is summarized as a symptom of larger underlying problems, as evidenced by their history of disliking each other and disrespecting each other's roles. Their conflict is partly due to a lack of understanding between departments due to differentiation. A proposed conflict management procedure involves acknowledging the disagreement, establishing a common goal, and ensuring future participation to resolve the issues and make meetings more productive.
