    How to approach this question

    Task 1: Crash = Urgent/Important. Task 2: Video = Rich channel. Task 3: Giving in = Accommodating. Task 4: Opposing orders = Role conflict.

    Full Answer

    Task 1: A critical system failure is both Urgent and Important. Task 2: Video calls have high channel richness (visual + audio cues) compared to email. Task 3: Giving in to the other party to maintain harmony is the Accommodating conflict resolution style. Task 4: Receiving incompatible demands from multiple managers is Role Conflict.

    Common mistakes
