In your study on conflict management and conflict resolution, the literature has revealed three behaviors that could be helpful in managing a business or organizational-based conflict and three behaviors that could prove detrimental to a business-based conflict. In the short run, each behavior could lead to at least a win-lose situation for participants to the conflict. In the long run, some of the behaviors could produce a lasting win-win situation, while other behaviors could produce either a winner and a loser or even a lose-lose outcome where both parties could be declared losers.
