CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN INTERAGENCY PROJECTS

Abstract

The paper focuses on one particular aspect of project management: conflict and its resolution. Part I briefly describes four illustrative interagency projects designed to deal with social problems. Part II analyzes basic characteristics of project organizations and hypothesize the forces toward conflict and collaboration which they typically contain. Part III identifies some of the changes in structure, reward-motivation systems, and information systems which would reduce the level of conflict in interagency projects to a manageable level and thereby promote the effectiveness of project management.
