This book draws on a wide range of
practical examples to describe how conflicts within organisations are
traditionally managed and the complementary conflict management methods that can
be employed. Stephan Proksch clearly explains these innovative methods and their
potential applications. The central focus is on mediation as an effective form
of conflict resolution. Discussion and questioning techniques as conflict
management tools are explained in simple and concise terms.

Stephan Proksch works as a Mediator and Consultant in Austria and Europe. He is a partner at Trialogis Company and Head of Mediation Training at the Chamber of Commerce in Austria. He teaches at the Universities of Vienna and Graz.
