Asaf Darr is Professor of Sociology at the University of Haifa where he specializes in researching the sociology of markets; technology, work organization, and the technical workforce; and, inter-ethnic relations at work in war-torn countries. Asaf is author of an earlier Cornell book, Selling Technology. We spoke to Asaf about how the broader conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Jews in Israel manifests itself in the workplace, what workplace lessons citizens in other countries can learn from his research, and the very surprising and counter-intuitive findings he discovered about what works and what doesn’t when it comes to managing conflict in the workplace.
