Previous efforts by management to find a solution to these issues were unsuccessful. Frustrated with management's inability to contain emotions, the woodworkers have allowed the metalworkers’ demeaning actions to create negative synergy, deteriorating elements of their job performance. In analysis of the conflict, tensions between the two divisions of the company stem from cultural differences, a biased managerial viewpoint, and poor management communication on behavioral expectations.

The CFO of a large public company should oversee all of the company’s finances so that it is steered in the right direction.
