 WHAT IS DISPUTE?

 It means to argue, debate or

quarrel about something.

 They arise as a result of some

linguistic misunderstanding.

 Language is the instrument

with which the disagreement is
normally expressed.
 Categories Of Disputes

Obviously Merely Apparently

verbal but really
Genuine verbal Genuine
Obviously Genuine Dispute

In this type of
dispute the
parties
unambiguously
disagree either in
belief or attitude.
 Example:
If Maha’s favorite subject is
management and Hira’s is Logic.

“ It is a dispute of thoughts”

So this type of dispute can be not be

resolved.
 Merely Verbal Dispute
Merely verbal disputes arise when a key
term is ambiguous.
or
when a phrase or word that is central in the
dispute has different senses that may be
equally legitimate but that ought not to be
confused.
 Example:
Martha says: She has bought a new car

McDuffie says: The car Martha has bought

is not new

The word "new" has two different lexical meanings:

(1) recently purchased

(2) this year's model. While

Martha is using the term in sense (1)

McDuffie is using it in sense (2).
 Apparently Verbal but Really
Genuine Dispute
Apparently verbal but really genuine
disputes are verbal only on the
surface. The parties involved may
indeed misunderstand one another’s
use of terms, but their quarrel goes
beyond this misunderstanding.
Disputes of this third kind are
sometimes also called “Criterial" or
"conceptual."
 Example:
SAM: Don’t ask your professor about it. You
should use your own judgment.

SUSAN: I will use my own judgment, and in my

judgment, I should ask my professor.

In this example the word ‘judgment’ is used in

two different meanings.

Sam is using the word judgment in the sense of

matter in discussion whereas Susan is using it in
the sense of asking the professor not .
DISPUTES IN BUSINESS
WORLD
 BUSINESS DISPUTES
Disputes involving small businesses can include:

• supply of goods
• provision of services
• dissolution of a partnership or business
• work and labor done
• sale of land
• negligence in performance of duties
• retail rental and tenancy disputes.
 OBVIOUSLY GENIUNE
Manager ‘A’:

IT IS EXPECTED THAT OUR SALES MIGHT

INCRESE AS PARTICIPATIVE STYLE OF
WORKING IS IN APPLICATION

Manager ‘B’:
NO, OUR SALES MIGHT DECREASE AS
PARTICIPATIVE STYLE WOULD RISK FLAWS IN
DECISION MAKING.

This dispute is due to the difference in mind set

 APPARENTLY VERBAL BUT
REALLY GENUINE
Employee A: The general manager does not
deserve the award of best performance as ,
(apart from other factors) he is not vigilant, he
does not care about employees’ basic needs.

Employee B: The general manager deserves

the best performance award as he is extremely
vigilant , he cautiously keep an eye on all
needed information about the company’s
products and then work on it.
 CONCLUSION

Many disputes can be resolved

through communication and
negotiation, which can help to reduce
costs, delays and legal action

Remember that most people are successful

in business because they can negotiate.

Remember there may be a lot at stake, since

you could end up in court if you cannot resolve
the matter between yourselves.
