Part I:
How might Managers use the grapevine to their benefit? As a manager, how do you think you would use the grapevine to further organizational goals?
Part II:
Scenario: You and your two siblings own a local pizzeria that has been incredibly successful for the three years it has been open. Now, you are considering opening two new stores across town, hoping to grow your profits over the long term. Your sister, on the other hand, does not like the idea of maintaining two additional stores, and instead is lobbying to build another dining room onto the existing store instead of buying out and managing new storefronts. Your brother is neutral, and sees the benefit in both suggestions.
Include a brief description of how you manage the pizzeria scenario using a combination of your best conflict-handling styles. Explain how you would use the conflict to your advantage, thereby making it a functional conflict. Describe how your preferred styles contribute towards the solutions.
