Compromise was used as the conflict management strategy. The school was not able to fully satisfy the needs of either finance or marketing departments due to budgetary constraints. Therefore, a compromise was reached where the budget was shared, and part-time instructors were hired for both departments. This allowed for a mutually beneficial solution that addressed both departments' needs to the best extent possible.
