Most conflicts involve a mix of cooperative and competitive motives. Theory often cited by experts: A Theory of Cooperation and Competition (Morton Deutsch. "Cooperation and Competition.”) Even as many of start in positive relationships - at some point communication or lack there of can develop an imbalance of power, cooperation, respect and ultimately lead to a situation of extreme conflict. At this point is when resolution and solutions are needed to move forward in a healthier way. “A key element in understanding cooperation/competition is the type of goal interdependence found between the involved parties. Parties goals' may be negatively interdependent--one party's success correlating with the other's failure. Such situations tend to yield competitive relationships with a win-lose orientation. Parties' goals may be positively interdependent--success correlating with success, or failure with failure. These situations tend to yield cooperative relationships where the parties have a win-win orientation.” Conflict Research Consortium Staff We can work with you in several ways.
