working in a very harmonious way where no one ever gets into an argument. Such
organisation would not even thrive well because there would not be any creativity. Karan

If the conflict crosses the threshold and hampers the daily routine of the workplace
activities then it is alarming. It has to be controlled and managed. Ajay then contemplates
over it and agrees to what Karan explained. Discuss the different conflict management
techniques. Also, give your view point on conflict control and management. (10 Marks)
