The implementation of SMPTs not only increases productivity in organizations but also contributes to increasing employees' involvement as the team is being managed by the team members rather than a formal leader who exists within the team. The team process involves people in different areas of expertise working together resulting in different opinions and views that are likely to cause conflicts. Thus, it is crucial for organizations to create an understanding of the sale of conflict and how it is managed within the SMPT in order to ensure the success of this particular type of team. This book contributes to the understanding of how the SMPT is being influenced by different types of conflict and their management strategies 25 well as the extent of external leader involvement in conflict situations. 

The in-depth exploration of conflict occurrences in SMPTS reveals the interrelatedness between different types of conflict as well as different approaches to conflict management strategies being adapted by SMPTS. The evidence suggests that over time, the positioning of external ers in SMPTS changes as a result of how conflict is managed. It also suggests that conflicts, either task or relationship are interrelated with one another and may be harmful or beneficial depending on when it occurs in a project's duration. In order to strengthen and maintain the relationship among the team members, organizations must invest more effort and resources. Knowledge about the importance of different types of conflict and how they can provide assistance may be used to help managers in dealing with the employees. Managers would be better prepared to manage the team if they have a clear understanding of the role that team members play in how they approach work and react during the conflict.
