CaseStudy:
Case Study 6.2: The Bean-Counter and the CowboyA common theme with multi-functional project teams is a lack of appreciation for the duties of people from other departments. The concept of organizational “differentiation” is key to understanding this malady. It is common for functional “siloing” to create an attitude in which the contributions of other project team members are either not recognized or undervalued. In this case, there are some clear signs of antagonism between Neil, the finance person and Susan, from Marketing. The terms “bean-counter” and “cowboy,” have been, in fact, coined by these people to refer to members of the other functions.
1)Was the argument today between Neil and Susan the true conflict or a symptom? What evidence do you have to suggest it is merely a symptom of a larger problem?
2)Explain how differentiation plays a large role in the problems that exist between Susan and Neil.
3)Develop a conflict management procedure for your meeting in 30 minutes. Create a simple script to help you anticipate the comments you are likely to hear from both parties.
4)Which conflict resolution style is warranted in this case? Why? How might some of the other resolution approaches be inadequate in this situation?
