Annotation


The constant need for new management tools for managing conflicts within companies and in communication with customers is growing. It is necessary to think about the role of human communication and the role of conflict in it. Conflict resolution tools simply do not work because each conflict has a different cause and effect. Therefore, it is important to realize what enters the communication and how it affects the conflict – its creation, course and solution. In the module, the topics of Perception Filter, Barriers in Communication, Self-Reflection and Emotional Intelligence will enter Conflict Management.
