Source of Conflicts

Conflict Between

Is a way for two or more parties to find a peaceful solution to a disagreement among them. The disagreement may be personal, financial, political, or emotional. When a dispute arises, often the best course of action is negotiation to resolve the disagreement

CompetingIt means standing up for your rights, defending a

position which you believe is correct, or simply trying to beat the other side.

Accommodating This might take the form of selfless generosity or

charity, giving in to another person's orders when you would prefer not to, or yielding to another's point of view.

Conflict Resolution (Thomas Killmann)

AvoidingAvoiding might take the form of diplomatically

sidestepping an issue, postponing an issue until a better time, or simply withdrawing from a threatening situation.

CompromisingIt's the approach of "half a sixpence is better than

none". Both sides get something but not everything. It might mean splitting the difference between the two positions, some give and take, or seeking a quick solution in the middle ground.

Collaborating It means being willing to believe that when

two parties are at loggerheads, it is possible for both sides to come out with what they want. Collaborating requires developed conflict resolution skills based on mutual respect, a willingness to listen to others, and creativity in finding solutions.

• Point of Conflict

Since 2007, two important changes have happened at Maruti. One, Shinzo Nakanishi, the current MD of Maruti Suzuki, took over the reins from Jagdish Khattar. RC Bhargava, who was a director, was made chairman. Two, Maruti and the India market are also becoming increasingly important for Suzuki Motors. Till recently, Maruti contributed more than half of the parent's profits.

Maruti is among the better pay masters, but Sazuki is not as better payer as Maruti.

Contract workers being paid one-third the salaries as permanent workers despite both the groups performing similar tasks; and, the exacting rules at work such as half the salaries of workers being deducted if they were late to work by a few minutes.

Doing a Business is Difficult but Doing a Profitable Business is more Difficult

• Why and How (Causes)

Lack of Trust between HR staff and labor, an apple of discort

Wage Rate disparities

Lack of active Communication

lack of intelligence and Information

Workers were fairly aggressive and poor wage hikes , raging inflation have queered the pitch further, resulting in an impatient, militant workforce, which believes in aggressive posturing

Third Parties get advantages. Union

Charges against 145 persons have been framed after interviewing 300 witnesses by the Haryana Police.

500 employees kicked out. Another plant at Haryana (Gurgaon) Again starting the Production at Manesar Plant. Restricted water food supplies toilets.

Measures taken by Management

Mobilise energy and commitment through joint identification of business problems and their solutions

Develop a shared vision of how to organise and manage for competitiveness

Identify the leadership Institutionalize success through formal policies, systems,

and structures Focus on results, not on activities  Start change at the periphery, then let it spread to other

units without pushing it from the top Monitor and adjust strategies in response to problems in

the change process

Model Used By the Company

If one thing fails the whole process will fail as everything is interrelated.
