Examples of horizontal conflict in the following topics:

  • Horizontal Communication

    • Horizontal communication is the flow of messages across individuals and groups on the same level of an organization.
    • Horizontal communication does not involve relaying information up or down across levels.
    • Communication within a team is an example of horizontal communication; members coordinate tasks, work together, and resolve conflicts.
    • Some barriers to horizontal communication are differences in style, personality, or roles amongst co-workers.
    • Horizontal communication refers to any communication between employees at the same level of an organization

  • The Existence of Inverse Functions and the Horizontal Line Test

    • Recognize whether a function has an inverse by using the horizontal line test

  • Conflict Theory

    • Provide an overview of conflict theory, including its most prominent theorists.

  • Horizontal Asymptotes and Limits at Infinity

    • The asymptotes are computed using limits and are classified into horizontal, vertical and oblique depending on the orientation.
    • They can be computed using limits and are classified into horizontal, vertical and oblique asymptotes depending on the orientation.
    • Horizontal asymptotes are horizontal lines that the graph of the function approaches as $x$ tends toward $+ \infty$ or $- \infty$.
    • The horizontal line $y = c$is a horizontal asymptote of the function $y = ƒ(x)$ if $\lim_{x\rightarrow -\infty}f(x)=c$ or $\lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty}f(x)=c$.
    • The graph of a function can have two horizontal asymptotes.

  • Issues with the Traditional Political Spectrum

    • Other axes include: the focus of political concern (communitarianism vs. individualism), responses to conflict (conversation vs. force), the role of the church (clericalism vs. anticlericalism), foreign policy (interventionism vs. non-interventionism), and freedom (positive liberty vs. negative liberty).
    • The Nolan Chart, created by libertarian David Nolan, shows what he considers as "economic freedom " (issues like taxation, free trade, and free enterprise) on the horizontal axis and what he considers as "personal freedom" (issues like drug legalization, abortion, and the draft) on the vertical axis.

  • Matrix Structure

    • This increase in complexity can result in a higher manager-to-worker ratio, which can in turn increase costs or lead to conflicting employee loyalties.
    • Blurred authority in a matrix structure can result in reduced agility in decision making and conflict resolution.
    • Product lines are managed horizontally and functions are managed vertically.

  • Adding and Subtracting Vectors Using Components

    • Previously, we saw that vectors can be expressed in terms of their horizontal and vertical components .
    • For example, a vector with a length of 5 at a 36.9 degree angle to the horizontal axis will have a horizontal component of 4 units and a vertical component of 3 units.
    • This can be seen by adding the horizontal components of the two vectors ($4+4$) and the two vertical components ($3+3$).
    • These additions give a new vector with a horizontal component of 8 ($4+4$) and a vertical component of 6 ($3+3$).
    • It can be decomposed into a horizontal part and a vertical part as shown.

  • Role Conflict

    • Role conflict describes the conflict between or among the roles corresponding to two or more statuses held by one individual.
    • Role conflict describes a conflict between or among the roles corresponding to two or more statuses fulfilled by one individual.
    • The most obvious example of role conflict is work/family conflict, or the conflict one feels when pulled between familial and professional obligations.
    • In other words, they experience role conflict.
    • Individual personality characteristic conflicts can arise when "aspects of an individual's personality are in conflict with other aspects of that same individual's personality. "

  • Styles of Interpersonal Conflict

    • Team conflict is a state of discord between individuals that work together.
    • Conflict is a feature common to social life.
    • Substantive conflicts deal with aspects of a team's work.
    • Other substantive conflicts involve how team members work together.
    • Explain the distinction between substantive and affective conflicts and between intra- and inter-organizational conflict

  • Stretching and Shrinking

    • Now lets analyze horizontal scaling. 
    • This leads to a "shrunken" appearance in the horizontal direction.
    • In general, the equation for horizontal scaling is:
    • If $c$ is greater than one the function will undergo horizontal shrinking, and if $c$ is less than one the function will undergo horizontal stretching.
    • If we want to induce horizontal shrinking, the new function becomes:
