This subject explores the application of dispute resolution theory and practical skills to the corporate environment. It explores the causes of conflict within a corporation, and between a corporation and the outside world. The range of dispute resolution processes is studied to ascertain their relevance and the problems in applying them to the various types of dispute that occur. Students have the opportunity to study the impediments to changing the dispute resolution culture of an organisation, and they are encouraged to build models for implementing change in a range of corporate environments. The differences between implementation between the public and private sectors and between different sections of the corporate/business world are also explored.
