Pfeffer's model of conflict and power struggle

(Power framework) The picture shows why there will always be conflict, in accordance with the power framework. Pfeffer's model has three strategies for managing conflicts: 1. Create a surplus of resources: Reduces scarcity leading to less conflicts , for example more profitable companies have less conflicts. The downside is that this is costly. 2. Create homogeneity and consensus on goals and means: Although people can never fully agree in the power framework, the can disagree more or less. A consensus of goals and means will reduce conflict, but at the expense of flexibility. 3. Reduce and downplay the significance of decisions: Difficult questions can be divided into smaller ones or avoided altogether, however upon realization this can lead to more conflict
