Political Science
Management
(noun)
Working to resolve different opinions in a team environment.
Examples of conflict resolution in the following topics:
-
Team Conflict Resolution and Management
- Some ways of dealing with conflict seek resolution; others aim to minimize negative effects on the team.
- The way a team deals with conflicts that arise among members can influence whether and how those conflicts are resolved and, as a result, the team's subsequent performance.
- Teams use one of three primary approaches to conflict resolution: integrative, distributive, and mediating.
- Integrative approaches focus on the issue to be solved and aim to find a resolution that meets everyone's needs.
- Because conflict management seeks to contain such disruptions and threats to team performance, conflicts do not disappear so much as exist alongside the teamwork.

The Conflict-Resolution Function
- Both the Senate and the House have a conflict-resolution procedure before a bill is passed as a piece of legislation.
- Joint resolutions are the normal way to propose a constitutional amendment or declare war.
- On the other hand, concurrent resolutions (passed by both houses) and simple resolutions (passed by only one house) do not have the force of law, but they express the opinion of Congress or regulate procedure.
- It begins with an enacting formula such as "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. " Consideration of a bill requires, itself, a rule which is a simple resolution specifying the particulars of debate—time limits, possibility of further amendments, and such.

Tendency Tones and Functional Harmonic Dissonances
- In a harmonic context, this tendency is strongest when ti occurs in a dominant-functioning chord, and the "resolution" of that tendency comes upon change of function (to tonic or subdominant).
- Because there are two conflicting tendencies in play, in this case, either can be "resolved" unproblematically.)
- However, they do introduce a degree of tension that, like an acoustically dissonant interval in species counterpoint, requires a smooth introduction and a specific resolution.
- Functional dissonance resolutions often cause conflicts with other principles of voice leading.
- A dissonance resolution is never an excuse for illegal parallels, and only rarely will lead to non-standard doublings.

Nationalists of the 1780s
