Conflict Resolution Program Design
Conflict Resolution Program Design
(Conflict Resolution Program Design)
Please note that this Individual Assignment consists of a paper and a PowerPoint. It is important that the assignment covers the nature of the conflict and the program design.
In this assignment, you will integrate the concepts of conflict resolution, group influence, and attribution to develop a program of conflict resolution to a current conflict situation. The conflict must be a conflict between two groups.
For the Paper portion, you must write a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you create a program to improve the relationship between two groups. Examples include between police and a community, managers and subordinates, the city council committee and a special interest group, and unions and management. Be specific in identifying what community, company, or organization you are writing about.
The paper must cover the Nature of the Conflict and fully discuss the following key elements:
- Describe the context of the conflict. What kind of community or organization is this? Who are the stakeholders in the outcome of the conflict?
- Identify the overt and covert issues presenting both sides.
- Describe the effect the conflict has on the organization within which it exists and, if applicable, the surrounding community.
- Identify attribution errors and how they will be addressed in the program. This includes dispositional and situational attributions.
- Analyze the dynamics within each group and between groups. Who are the leaders? Does anyone stall or undermine the group? Is there a relationship between two subgroups?
The Program Design is part of your paper portion for this assignment. Be sure to include the following for your paper portion:
- Apply the elements of conflict resolution.
- Describe the central strategy you will use to resolve or diminish the conflict.
- Provide at least one reference supporting the use of such a strategy.
- Include a program component that employs social media. What social media will your program use? How will you utilize the social media?
- Explain how you will address attribution errors between the groups. Include dispositional and situational attributional errors.
- Identify the elements of persuasion you will use in your program. Remember, the elements of persuasion are the communicator, the message, how the message is conveyed and the audience.
For the PowerPoint portion of your assignment, design a PowerPoint with at least 10 Microsoft® PowerPoint® slides with speaker notes that include the following:
- The goals of the program
- The logistics of the program (schedule, location, and so on)
- The content of the program (any worksheets, activities, or events)
*Please note that an oral presentation is not a part of the online requirement for your PowerPoint.*
Cite at least 4 references in your presentation, including the reference that demonstrates research support of your program strategy.
Format any citations in your presentation according to APA guidelines.
