Abstract
Conflict is an inevitable feature of complex organizations, but its effects are shaped decisively by how firms prevent, manage, and resolve disputes and by the inclusiveness of internal and external governance systems. This seminar paper synthesizes empirical evidence from Nigeria and comparable contexts to show that structured prevention (clear rules, stakeholder engagement), skilled management (early detection, mediation), and rights-compatible resolution mechanisms (timely remedies, appeals) reduce escalation, protect operational continuity, and improve legitimacy with host communities and employees.
Using Dangote Cement PLC’s Okpella plant and its 2024 Community Development Agreement (CDA) as a focal case, the paper argues that binding community compacts combined with measurable inclusion (DEI) practices form a mutually reinforcing architecture that lowers relational risk and supports sustained performance. Policy and managerial recommendations are provided for manufacturing firms operating in Nigeria’s volatile socio-economic environment.
