Researchers and practitioners have long asserted that task-related conflict can be beneficial by stimulating creativity and critical thinking in group decision making. However, two recent studies examining the effects of task-related conflict across multiple studies failed to find support for an overall positive relationship between task conflict and group performance. These findings led researchers Scheepers and Jehn to delve a little deeper into the relationships between task conflict, relationship conflict, and decision making. They found that when relationship conflict was present during task conflict, group members were more likely to rigidly hold onto less than optimal starting positions during group interactions, leading to poor decision outcomes. The findings suggest that task conflict is neither universally good nor universally bad. Instead, its potential benefits in group decision making may depend on whether relationship conflict is also present.(p 243) Why is relationship conflict so detrimental to group decision making? Why can task conflict be potentially beneficial? What can you do as managers to facilitate potentially beneficial conflict while minimizing potentially detrimental conflict?

In 2016 America, kink is "in." If we look at the data coming out of the erotica and porn industries, the BDSM/kink genres are the fastest growing. What is "kink?" What is BDSM?
