Scrolling Around the New Organization: The Potential for Conflict in the On‐Line Environment

Abstract: The technological revolution has created as many challenges as opportunities for managers in today's organizations. Besides “wandering around” to manage, “scrolling around” on a computer screen has become common‐place. This article reviews four key technology‐caused challenges facing managers in the workplace, chiefly as the result of communication via e‐mail. Specifically, the author focuses on what research to date informs us about negotiation and conflict resolution in an electronic environment.

“…Of course, there is also an extensive body of literature on negotiation in general and on the teaching of negotiation skills. However, with the exception of a few brief articles (McKersie and Fonstad 1997; Landry 2000; Valley 2000), very little has been written about the teaching of negotiation in an online environment. In their 1997 article, which comes the closest to addressing the issues I discuss here, Robert McKersie and Nils Fonstad argue that teaching negotiation online is not only possible but necessary .…”

“…Email is thriving as a computer-mediated communication technology (Dimmick, Kline, & Stafford, 2000); and, although some studies show positive aspects and usage of email including availability, enhanced communication, and time efficiency (Spence, 2002;Sproull & Kiesler, 1986;Walther, 1995), others demonstrate significant problems associated with phenomena such as aggression, sarcasm, insults, intimidation, and misleading cues (Friedman & Currall, 2003;Landry, 2000;Markus, 1994;Moore, Kurtzberg, Thompson, & Morris, 1999), resulting in differentiated views as to its organizational effectiveness.…”

“…Jonathan Millen (1994) notes that participants may enter mediation with differing views of what the process is as a context for interaction, views that mediators may try to reshape. Electronic media as the context for conflict communication has been considered by Elaine Landry (2000), Christopher Hobson (1999), and Ethan Katsh and his colleagues (Katsh, Katsh, and Rifkin 2001), among many others. Jonathan Cohen (2003) has directed attention to the importance of a strategic choice of metaphors within negotiations — an example of reframing that can change the context within which communication proceeds (Lakoff and Johnson 1980; Balachandra et al.…”
