Focusing on the working relationship between Marketing Managers and Sales Managers, our study examines two dimensions of interpersonal conflict: dysfunctional conflict and functional conflict.

Let z = (z1, z2, · · · , zn) be noncommutative free variables and t a formal parameter which commutes with z. Let k be a unital commutative ring of any characteristic and Ft(z) = z−Ht(z) with Ht(z) ∈ k[[t]]〈〈z〉〉 ×n and o(Ht(z)) ≥ 2. Note that Ft(z) can be viewed as a deformation of the formal map F (z) := z−Ht=1(z) when it makes sense. The inverse map Gt(z) of Ft(z) can always be written as Gt(...
