Interorganizational Conflict
Interorganizational conflict
Interorganizational conflict is a conflict that arises across organizations and can be called a conflict as a corporate level. This type of conflict can be characterized and defined as a competition or even a battle between two enterprises that operate in the same markets. Good example could be such interorganizational conflicts as rivalries between Hyundai and Ford, for example, or Verizon and AT&T. However, interorganizational conflict in general has much broader meaning and relates not only to market competitions. It can be also referred to disagreements and conflicts between organizations and unions that employ their members; or between government regulatory agencies and the organizations subject to their surveillance. (Schermerhorn et al., 2012)
In terms of criminal justice system, an interorganizational conflict is also a quiet common there. The resolution of interorganizational conflicts is of the most important and serious issues that administrators of the criminal justice system are facing today, and it depends on the capacity of separate organizational units to increase their level of communication and to coordinate their efforts in order to provide longstanding preservation of their links. Therefore, it is possible to say that the best way to solve such conflicts is to improve communication between criminal justice agencies and units. (Stojkovic et al., 2015) However, in general I would claim that is impossible fully to eliminate the interorganizational conflict, and it can be considered inevitable simply because every organization and members of these organizations have different points of view regarding things, and how these things should operate. Even if the goal for organizations is the same, it does not exclude those challenges and disagreements that might arise on the way of this goal achievement, since each organization might have different expectations regarding the outcomes of the goal achievement.
