Co-led by Professors Weingart and Cohen, The Collaboration and Conflict Research Lab (CCRL) at the Tepper School of Business strives to improve collaboration in organizations by advancing applied and basic research on conflict, negotiation, moral behavior, and gender and cultural differences.
Many organizational failures and collaboration pitfalls stem from ineffective communication and problematic interpersonal interactions when disagreements and challenging circumstances arise.
CCRL research sheds light on how people navigate challenging interpersonal interactions and difficult conversations. CCRL researchers aim to uncover factors that facilitate versus hinder communication, negotiation, and cooperation in the workplace, with the goal of identifying strategies for managing and resolving conflicts so people can collaborate more effectively and productively.
Research topics include:
Collaboration and Conflict
Moral Behavior
Negotiation
Gender and Cultural Differences
