ABSTRACT
This study examined the different methods of conflict resolution, which constitute a major problem in the field of consulting. After a concise description of each alternative to dispute resolution, these solutions can be used to resolve a dispute between two parties. These six alternatives are compared with each other according to selected criteria. These 14 criteria are weighted according to their importance for the resolution of disputes. The purpose of this article is to discover what kind of alternative is the preferred solution for managing a conflict.
The paper is based on a multi-attribute decision analysis, an additive weighting calculation, the five whys and articles. These analyzes show that negotiation is the best form of alternative to solve a problem between a young consultant and his firm.
It does not matter that the type of contract between the two parties, the definition of the general terms of the contract must tarnish the arbitration and the clauses of negotiation.
Keywords: Project management, consultants, consulting firms, clauses, misinformation, obligation, young graduates, company, recruitment, parties
