Oudenhoven and colleagues
- Social conflict tends to have a positive influence on organizations because…
- Learn more about people you’re working with
- Gives opportunity for people with opposing views to learn more about cultures through
coming to a resolution together
- Encourages better communication in employees, cross cultural differences will be flushed
out
- More people might end up benefiting from the result
- If you have a multinational company in which both companies are competitive, company
will be brought down, but if sides are cooperative it will lead to more productive
- Conflict can lead to positive innovations if held destructively
- Came up with three hypothesis they want to test-
- Hypotheses 2- low uncertainty will yield more open discussion- uncertainty avoidance is
with uncertainty conflict
- 3- more yean feminine approaches will be more open and constructive
- Surprised by hypothesis 2- disproved their guess
- Looked at two different levels of conflict- within lower and upper managers (lateral),
between lower and upper levels – surprising conclusion because low uncertainty
avoidance cultures were no less open than high uncertainty avoidance cultures, high UAC
better prepared to have open discussion when it comes to conflict
- Extremely well prepared in organizations and national cultures that tend to have lower
tolerance of ambiguity, better prepared because had to foresee catastrophe and plan well
- Uncertainty avoidance might mean very deliberate, careful preparation to conflict
Long term vs. short term time orientation
- Think of truth as being timeless- either something is true or false in Western world view,
tend to divide world into two
- Cultures around the world have to decide how best to use their limited time and resources
by fostering virtues
