Question

which conflict management strategy is known to not really solve a conflict between parties? compromise/reconcile force/direct smooth/accommodate withdraw/avoid

Explanation:

The "Withdraw/avoid" conflict management strategy involves ignoring or staying away from the conflict. This approach does not address the underlying issues of the conflict, so it does not really solve the conflict between parties. Compromise/reconcile aims to find a middle ground, Force/direct imposes a solution, and Smooth/accommodate focuses on maintaining harmony by satisfying the other party's needs, all of which at least attempt to engage with the conflict in a way that can lead to resolution (even if imperfectly), unlike withdrawal/avoidance.

Answer:

D. Withdraw/avoid
