Title: Power and Conflict in Organizations
Review: Drawing on recent theoretical advances and research findings from small-group and laboratory experiments, from field studies of organizations, and from broader studies of power in society. Kenneth E. Boulding, Abraham Kaplan, Daniel Katz, R. Nevitt Sanford, and five other leading social scientits explore the related problems of power and conflict in human organizations.They examine principles of conflict, the management of hostility and conflict, responses to situations of competition and conflict, and other problems. Their aim: to find ways in which a leader can exercise power without creating the conflict that can be so wasteful of organizational energies and so damaging to individuals.Their presentation reflects the contributions and practical suggestions of more than fifty corporation executives who participate in seminars sponsored by the Foundation for Research on Human Behavior, Ann Arbor, Michigan.---- from book's dustjacket
