Conflicts can be managed in a variety of ways. In the early 1920s, Follet (1942) described conflict-handling styles as domination, compromise, integration, avoidance and suppression. Deutsch (1949), for his part, proposed a dichotomy involving either cooperation or competition. However, the first conceptual scheme for classifying conflict styles was presented by Blake and Mouton (1964), who identified five modes of handling conflict: forcing, withdrawing, smoothing, compromising, and problem solving. Following Blake and Mouton’s (1964) Managerial Grid, a conflict is managed in these five different ways depending on whether the individuals involved, specifically managers, have high or low concern for production and high or low concern for people.
