Customer Comment: an invaluable resource for OD, HR and conflict mgt pros. This book contributes mightily to defining how the emerging field of conflict management differs from organizational development, and what they share in common. For this alone it is worth the cover price. But the authors don't stop there. The book is full of practical strategies for developing conflict management systems. And its techniques reflect real world experience, not just theory! But, as a practitioner in this field, I can't say enough thanks to Constantino and Merchant for deepening the exploration of this very important new field!

NAPRA Review, Vol. 8, NO. 1, 1997
"Conflict is not necessarily bad," says bestselling author Beverly Potter. "In fact," she continues, "conflict can be a catalyst for creating interactions that are more satisfying." Realizing this hidden opportunity requires that disputes be handled skillfully, and Potter's well-written, whimsically illustrated manual shows the way. It covers all aspects of dispute resolution-from furniture arrangement and body posture to appropriate techniques of questioning. Numerous scenarios are described and interpreted to aid readers in developing effective resolution skills. It's a valuable addition to the library of any person-business manager, teacher, parent, community leader-who wants to blind more harmonious relationships

Augsburger focuses on interpersonal and group conflicts and provides a comparison of conflict patterns within and among various cultures.
