Two rival automated logistics companies, Zephyr Drone Delivery and Apex Logistics, have recently clashed while operating in the same municipal region. The employees of both companies have engaged in hostile behavior, including blocking each other's landing pads, jam-hacking communication frequencies, and spreading negative rumors online about the safety of the rival company's fleet. Both companies are aggressively competing for a single, highly lucrative municipal operating license and exclusive night-time access to the newly constructed solar-charging superstation.
Using your knowledge of realistic conflict theory, explain the conflict and hostile behavior between the employees of the two logistics companies.
