Answer 1

Managing conflicts by transparency means confronting the issue and discussing the concerns. Transparency include solving conflicts by facing it and discussing it with each other.

Managing conflicts by avoidance means ignoring the cause and issue of conflict. Avoidance include solving conflicts by changing the subject or postponing the issue to discuss it later.

Example of transparency: when workers were facing conflicts with each other, manager decided to conduct a meeting were all the workers were allowed to discuss the issue with each other and the manager in order to solve it.

Example of avoidance: manager made changes in the organisation structure and workers didn't agree to it. They faced a disagreement. Managers decided to avoid this because he knew that the changes are best for the organization as a whole and eventually workers will adjust to the changes made and will accept it
