"Solomon (April, 1994) recommends conflict/violence training to companies as a means to avoid problems. "Senior management must be committed to contingency planning, and it must become part of the culture of the company." This author emphasizes that mistakes can happen in organizations where the planning process has not been endorsed by all members and that communication is the foundation of any plan because it can help in an emergency situation and it can assist an organization in getting back to normalcy."
