| Summary: | There used to be an assumption that any conflict has negative and destructive influences and we must remove it from the system. However, recent studies indicate that conflict is the result of interaction with different people having various personalities, social and cultural behaviors and this is an unavoidable issue.

In this paper, we discuss how to handle a conflict in any organization and lead the business units to organizations that are more productive. |
