• Theory: Develop your own theory based on understanding regarding the topic Conflict.
• Illustration: Provide two examples that enhance understanding of your developed theory.
• Application: Identify a problem in the world that your developed theory can be applied to.
• Example of the Application: Provide an example of the problem/Application.
• Implications: What are the implications of your application? In other words, what can you infer about possible outcomes? If X happens, then Y might occur? (The implication must relate to your application/problem in the world.)

Notes:

• I know its a bit large question to answer for but please answer all parts of this question according to the instructions as I really need it.
• I have provided below an example regarding the topics of workplace diversity. You can take an idea from that and answer my question please.

Subject: Two Major Forms of Workplace Diversity Theory: To get the most from their employees, managers must recognize and capitalize on diversity in the workplace, which can be broken down into two types: Surface-level diversity and Deep-level diversity. Understanding the two types of diversity is key to overcoming unproductive conflict and building strong, productive, and diverse teams. Illustrations 1: Accenture, led by CEO Julie Sweet, has established a strong reputation for diversity in the workplace. They see diversity as a source of innovation, creativity, and competitive advantage and they demonstrate their commitment to diversity by publishing their workforce demographics and progress toward reaching their internal diversity goals. Illustrations 2: Lenovo, the worlds largest PC vendor with 57,000 employees in over 60 countries has used its strong foundation of diversity and inclusion to build its success. Application: The theory can be applied to the problem of poor productivity among workgroups/teams. Example: Diversity increases conflict, left unchecked conflict can result in lower group morale and increased dropout rates, thus lowering productivity. Conflict, however, is not necessarily bad. When managed correctly, it can result in increased team cohesion, employee morale, innovation, and productivity. Implications: If managers increased surface-level diversity and minimized deep-level diversity, as well as developed a culture of inclusiveness and group learning, unproductive conflict can be reduced and replaced with inclusive and productive discussions, resulting in innovative problem solving and increased productivity.
