Dr. Aris and Dr. Kovac lead two separate aerospace research teams that share a single wind tunnel facility. With an upcoming international exhibition, testing slots are highly limited. Dr. Aris accuses Dr. Kovac of booking excessive calibration time and demands that Dr. Kovac cancel a Saturday testing run so Aris's team can complete their model tests.
Recently, a major electrical surge damaged the wind tunnel’s main compressor control board, threatening to shut down the facility indefinitely and prevent both teams from presenting at the exhibition. Dr. Aris and Dr. Kovac spent forty-eight hours working closely together to bypass the blown circuits and rewrite the control software to restore power.
Using your knowledge of realistic conflict theory, explain Dr. Aris and Dr. Kovac's behaviour.
