When Collaborating you work with others to explore their disagreement, generate alternatives, and find a mutually satisfying solution. The Collaborating style of conflict management allows you to learn from another’s perspective. It can be helpful when you need a decision that addresses both parties’ concerns. On the other hand, the Collaborating style of conflict management may be unsuitable either for minor decisions or when time is limited.

...a) What incentive conflicts exist in corporations? In any corporation one will find conflicts between the managers and shareholders. A major reason behind this fact is that mangers often own very few shares in the company. According to Robert Vishny, who sampled 371 Fortune 500 companies, a firm’s performance is in fact weaker “at low levels of management ownership”. His article goes on to explain that when managers own 5 to 20 percent performance levels are higher when compared with firms where management ownership is only 0 to 5 percent.² Managers, especially those that own very little of the company’s stock, have different goals and motives from those of the shareholders. Manager’s engage in “self-interested behavior”, which is defined as “maximizing their own utility at the expense of corporate shareholders”.³ They very often take fewer risks than shareholders would like in an attempt to increase job security, or they feel they deserve special perks, such as company jets, free lunches, or gym memberships, to name a few. Managers may also shirk on the job instead of work hard and give it their all. While shareholders would like manager’s to maximize value of the firm, managers are more concerned with increasing the size of the firm to make themselves look better. Shareholders are concerned with performance of the company as a whole; mangers are concerned with their own individual performance. Incentives and compensation packages are ways to ease these conflicts...

...GREEN TECHNOLOGY Catherine Drake Instructor Minor July 27th 2013 Green technology what is it, Where does it come from and how do we use it? I am hoping to answer these questions to the best of my ability. “The green movement evolved considerably since the early days. Since there are some popular assumptions about environmental history that are incorrect.” (A brief history of the modern Green movement in America, WEB ECoist). The green movement can be dated back to the 19th century possibly even as far back as 1830. Back then it was called “Environmental movement.” Since this time Green technology has been referred to as environmental wako’s, tree huggers, and many more unfriendly names, however what they failed to see was what these green technology people were doing was helping the environment and the way we live our daily lives. The green movement started with Americans thinking that we should cultivate land instead of leaving it alone to be wild and free. This was a big clash between Native Americans and Americans. This soon would be forgotten until after World War II and the 1948 disaster at Donora (called the Death Fog) that prompted a national outcry. (A brief history of the modern green movement in America; Web Ecoist). Green technology took a more personal issue in the green movement, such as the issues we more centered on food safety and consumer goods. In the late 60s early 70s is when we started to see a rise in the modern green movement. Closer to...
