Understanding Frictions In Business Partnerships: An Essay On Conflict In International Environmental Politics.

Nature of Conflict

Question:

Discuss About The Conflict In International Environmental Politics?

In today’s high competitive market, doing business in joint partnership serves many purposes like sharing of responsibilities and sharing the profit and most importantly the loss that might be incurred by the organization. Apart from that the organizations can use the reputation of the partner organization by getting engaged in joint venture. The study of partnerships in doing business has thus become the matter of interest for many research scholars (Kovner & Brewer, 2016). The main purpose of this paper is to highlight the fact that how frictions or clash of opinions can take place in a business run by a partnership. It can be said that, an organization’s future depends on the partners or stakeholders increases the rate of conflicts among the other stakeholders. The other partners might feel insecure by this kind of action. For many organizations, it might appear difficult to manage a successful joint venture s, and it is a well-known truth that in most cases when the business starts facing any kind of oddities, the partnership does not work out due to many reasons and the primary reason behind it is lack of trust among the partners. This research proposal indicates that a particular company’s dependence on some specific stakeholders increases the conflicts between the stakeholders and it is seen that asymmetric dependent relation between the organization and a particular stakeholder are the most dysfunctional thing that can ever happen to a business organization.  In some cases, the asymmetric dependent relationship between the organization and some of its stakeholders influences the inter-organizational trust and the norms of fair exchange. A good relationship between the stakeholders increases the relation between them and frictions between them would lower down the reputation and the inter-organizational trust. The main motto of this paper is to highlight the basic reasons behind the conflicts that can arise between the stakeholders of the organizations.  In today’s highly competitive market, it is seen how the organizations climb up the ladder of success with successful partnerships between the stakeholders and on the other hand, it is seen how some renowned organizations are shut down doe to the various issues between the stakeholders of the organization. Thus, the main question for this research proposal would be that, what are the possible issues that creates conflicts between the partners of any business organization.   

Partnership Disputes

The objective of the research is to find out

1. How the differences in opinion lead to conflict among the basic changes
2. How the individual leadership traits bring interpretive conflict between two or more organizational partners
3. How the staff orientation process would lead to the business conflict

In order to develop the conceptual framework two variables are taken into consideration-

1. Dependent variable
2. Independent Variable

Identification of these two variables becomes an important move for the further research. These are:

1. Dependent Variables: vision statement, mission statement and the decision making authority
2. Independent Variable: leadership trait, entrepreneurial characteristic

The following diagram demonstrates the conceptual framework for the research work:

While discussing about the nature of conflict, a thorough understanding of the independent concept development needs to b e taken into consideration. These are:

1. The nature of independence
2. The effect of independence
3. The effect of trust of the custom or median of exchange of views
4. Effect of conflict and norms of exchange on business performance

The aforementioned natures have stringent attributes of their own. In this matter of fact, the basic understanding pertaining to the psychological and business behaviour has been taken into consideration because of the distinction in personal opinion on the driving method of qa business. As a matter of fact, this has been taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the fact that this has to be taken into certain consideration with its different understanding of the process that this has to be taken into certain consideration with its entire understanding of how this process is highly effective for the business level thought process of the individual leaders. Following partnership disputes are being identified in various business processes.

1. Unfair sharing of loss and profit or business asset
2. Overstepping of the bounds and authority of the company
3. Involvement in secret competition with the company

1. Different opinion about the employees and other human resource management issues
2. Differences in joint venture business objective
3. Lack trust and compatibility upon each other
4. Differences in the base of leadership quality
5. Poor maintenance of work-life balance

Considering the aforementioned disputes that might incur and bring some dire problems and conflicts in the thought process that has been taken in to consideration because of the issues pertaining to the effective measure of the entire business understandings,  the conflicts would develop a a huge loss of the existing business and/ or the collapse of the same. The main motto of this paper is to highlight the basic reasons behind the conflicts that can arise between the stakeholders of the organizations (Lawrence & Weber, 2014).   In today’s highly competitive market, it is seen how the organizations climb up the ladder of success with successful partnerships between the stakeholders and on the other hand, it is seen how some renowned organizations are shut down doe to the various issues between the stakeholders of the organization. Thus, the main question for this research proposal would be that, what are the possible issues that creates conflicts between the partners of any business organization (Kovner & Brewer, 2016).

While illustrating and analysing the factual understanding of the process, a special focus upon the leadership quality is going to be kept. This research paper would thus conceptualize the differences in the philosophy of leadership is going to find out how this is going to finalize the effective conceptual understanding of the process has to be taken into certain understanding in terms of understanding that has been taken into certain understanding of the entire case that was highly effective for the entire understanding of the issues.  According to Sin Vegan for the purpose of collaborative advantage dilemmas of ideology and pragmatism in the activities of the upper layer of the organization needs to be identified. It can be said that, an organization’s future depends on the partners or stakeholders increases the rate of conflicts among the other stakeholders. The other partners might feel insecure by this kind of action. For many organizations, it might appear difficult to manage a successful joint venture s, and it is a well-known truth that in most cases when the business starts facing any kind of oddities, the partnership does not work out due to many reasons and the primary reason behind it is lack of trust among the partners.  Since this has been taken into certain consideration of the case, this has to be taken into certain consideration that the business process is highly effective for the entire thought process of the basic sense. In this regard, the most effective value is to provide an important factor for the business organizations.  Vangen and Huxham has proposed a collaborative effort of leadership with the objective of reducing the differences in the thought process and implementation within an organization.

Possible Issues that Create Conflict

In many cases, it has been found that the organizations involved in many disputes within the sectors. The trait of independence is that the business leaders often want to run the business with their own thought process. There are various visions and missions that are incorporated through individual trait. However, this has to be taken into certain consideration of the fact that the clash in the conceptual understanding of the vision and the effort to execute such it the cause of the conflict.

This chapter is going to illustrate and construct a solid proposal by which the entire research would be conducted.  Research methodology refers to the process that creates the foundation of the research process. There are different subsections of the research methodology. It is no doubt a rational process that would address the authenticity of the conduction method.  This is the systematic method comprising of the following segments:

1. Research Approach
2. Research philosophy

1. Types of Investigation
2. Data collection Method
3. Data Analysis and Interpretation

Outline of the research methodology deals with the tools that are going to be used while conducting the research. Adequate justification is going to be cited for the adoption of different methodological process.  Following is the outline of the research methodology

Research onion talks about the structure that provides the chance and opportunity to the researcher in conducting the research work in a proper manner. Research onion deals with the process that helps a researcher be specific in following a particular research direction.  The opinion of the research encompasses the proposed outcome of the research that would focus on the outcome of the research. There are six segments of the opinion of the research. It includes philosophical deportment, design, selection of the data collection method, research technique. This process can be utilized according to the need of the research. Following diagram demonstrates the research opinion:

Research philosophy is the rational consideration and ideology of the need of the research that is effectively taken place.  Research philosophy talks about two different processes that have to be taken into certain consideration. Research philosophy can be segmented into three different categories. These are

1. Realism
2. Positivism

Through the philosophy of realism a researcher is persuaded to the practical results based on the real business practices. However, it is not always possible to retrieve the real results. As a matter of fact, this has to be taken into certain consideration that the basic understanding would be taken into certain process of keeping into the in-depth knowledge of how this would focus on the basic requirement. The philosophy of positivism is persuaded through the scientific observation through the analysis of the statistical data retrieved either from the primary resources or the secondary ones.  It needs to be ensured that only the scientific process can be granted during the philosophy of positivism. However, there are some certain difficulties pertaining to the use of the data in terms of creating the effective usage.  If the data collection procedure is not authentic enough, it becomes quite tough for the researcher to validate the process of positivism.

Collaborative Effort of Leadership as Solution

On the other hand, the philosophy of interpretivism deals with the authentic human viewpoint that is associated with the core process of the research.

In order to conduct this specific research, the philosophy of interpretivism is going to be chosen.  Since the research is based on the study of the cause and nature of the conflicts between the business partners, the identification of the cause would be interpreted with various understanding of the process. There would be no stringent scientific process with the effective understanding of the entire case.  In this process a solid and hypothetical interpretation with the help of proper study would be taken into consideration.  This has been taken into certain consideration that this would be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the process that was highly effective on the consideration of the case.

Research approach refers to the authentic process of the researcher with the concept of procreative philosophical overview of the research process so that the research can be conducted in a valid manner. As a matter of fact, this has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective changes of the methods wherever needed.  There are two different yet most preferred methodological processes of research approach.

1. Deductive
2. Inductive

The deductive research approach takes in to account the primary data in association with the theories related to it. In this context, it can be stated that the most effective methods for the impactful research policies is to be taken into certain consideration with the fact that this has to be the basic consideration of the research methods. In terms of the inductive research approach the researcher needs to necessitate the explanation of the theories in relation with the retrieved data.  As a matter of fact, this has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the issues. In this context, this has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the entire case that was highly effective for the understanding of the genres provided for the research concept. In this manner this has to be taken into certain consideration that the research approach deals with the process of creative consideration. As a matter of fact, this has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the process that in most of the cases there are similar considerations of the cases.

For the specific research, the researcher is going to take into account the deductive research approach. As matter of fact, this has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the case that this has the positive notion to the research moves. In this manner this has to be taken into consideration the detailed cdata collected during the surveys and the interviews and from various secondary sources. However, the collected data would be analyzed through the approach of the entire case that was highly effective for the entire case so as to find out how effective this would be for the entire understanding of the theories and detailed incorporation of the information.  

Research Methodology

Research design can majorly be segmented into three different categories:

1. Explanatory Research Design
2. Exploratory research design

Explanatory research design is taken into account while illustrating about the phenomenon associated and oriented with the research process. This has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of the process that is understood through the prediction and accuracy parameters. In this context, it can be stated that the basic understanding of the entire case has to be taken into certain consideration that this has to be taken into the perfect consideration of the cases.

In case of exploratory research, the main focus remains of the construction of rational thought process and the judgment of the research outcome. In this case, the exploratory research design has the possibility to find out how the effective understanding of the process is highly effective for the entire case of the basic research models.

The descriptive research design is based on the description of thematic understanding through the gradual development of the collected literature related to the process. In this manner this has to be taken into consideration pertaining to the fact, that there is a positive understanding of the process pertaining to the effective understanding that would be highly effective for the entire understanding of the fact (Sekaran & Bougie, 2016).

In this specific research, the descriptive research design is going to be taken into consideration.  In this case, there is a clear understanding of the segments that the major analytical process would be based on the secondary and primary data retrieved from various sources (Silverman, 2016). There are different procedures with the effective consideration of the data collection process that would be simply discussed and illustrated. Though this process focuses on the illustrative discussion on the specific topic this has to be taken into certain consideration. This has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the fact that this has been taken into certain consideration to the specific data analysis and design procedure.

The basic rudimentary and fundamental research strategies that have been taken into account for this research method are the surveys, interviews, analysis through the case study and so on. As a matter of fact, this has been taken into certain consideration of the fact that there are different segments for the entire understandings of the procedures (Falkner, 2017).

Data collection method is one of the most important steps taken during the conduction of the research.  In this context, it can be stated that authentic data collection would validate the authenticity of the research. This has been considered to be the basic understanding of the process pertaining to the effective understanding that was highly effective so as to find out how effective this has been. Data collection method can be segmente in to two different procedures. These are:

1. Primary Data Collection
2. Secondary data Collection

Research Philosophy

Primary Data Collection method reflects the retrieval process from the people associated with the research scenario.  Primary data collection is performed through some of the data collection tools such as survey, interview, and questionnaires. Since the primary data collection method comprises of the retrieval of data from the direct sources, it can be considered as authentic one.   

On the other hand, the secondary data collection process leads to the retrieval of secondary sources such as newspaper article, journal article, scholarly papers, government sources and statistical data and so on. In this context, this has to be taken into consideration that the data collection process leads to the effective consideration of how the process of validation is required. In order to validate the data sources, the thematic discussion in needed. This is how this has to be taken into consideration of the process.   For the authentication of the data sources, the process of rejection and acceptance is taken into account. It would shortlist the most authentic data source. Because of the basic understanding of the case this has to be taken into certain consideration pertaining to the effective understanding of how this would focus on data sources (Wellner, 2015).

In this specific research, both primary and secondary data collection methods have been taken into consideration. Because of the entire case this has to be taken into certain consideration because of its different understanding of the issues. For the primary data collection the researcher would focus on the survey and interview methods. In this context, this has been taken into certain consideration pertaining to the fact that this would focus on the issues related to it.
