In order to survive, an organisation must focus its efforts on generating revenue in the face of competition. Sometimes the need to focus on beating the competition can get derailed by internal organizational conflict. In order to keep your employees focused on being productive and bettering the competition, it is necessary to understand the causes of organizational conflict. Conflict, if not closely checked may be the cause of the downfall of an organisation. It is therefore very important that those in leadership or management positions should make sure that conflict is handled carefully so that employees concentrate on their jobs rather than on fights.
