Tasks of Corporate Conflictology

The work examines important aspects of the organizational constitution of the priority of corporate conflict management at Synergy University. The author emphasizes that the creation of the Center for Corporate Conflictology at the University is a landmark event, marking the transition to a new stage in the development of this branch of science. The article analyzes in detail the goals and objectives of corporate conflictology, including analytical design and scientific and applied demonstration of realistic representations of agents of investment practice and business processes. The work proposes a thematic plan for a course in corporate conflictology for business owners, developed by the author, designed for 80 academic hours. The author also discusses methods of teaching and implementing a corporate conflictology course into the educational process, including the use of casestudy and interdisciplinary research. The author postulates that corporate conflictology and corporate governance in general are based on a wide cycle of knowledge covering various industries. Thus, the article emphasizes the importance of an interdisciplinary approach and knowledge exchange in the field of corporate conflict management. At the same time, the work describes two types of ensuring the interdisciplinarity of the field of knowledge: 1) a mechanistic, textbook approach with episodic and systematic “mutual information” of related subjects; 2) a truly integration approach with theoretical and methodological work on the unification of interpretations and “mutual integration” of knowledge. It is emphasized that for the current stage of development of corporate conflictology, the path of mutual integration of knowledge rather than mutual information is more effective. This justifies the importance of unified interpretations and processes of mutual integration of knowledge for the development of corporate conflictology. An interdisciplinary approach helps students develop the comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary to work in the field of conflict management in a corporate environment. The author calls for testing this methodology in educational institutions in order to enrich the educational process and prepare students for real challenges in the field of corporate conflict management. The author highlights the challenges and problems faced by supporters of the development of corporate conflictology, and also analyzes criticism of this branch of science. In conclusion, the importance of developing corporate conflictology and its potential contribution to the understanding and management of corporate conflicts is emphasized.
