Articles:In today’s business market, successful and efficient businesses recognize the numerous benefits of mediation and possess the willingness to engage in cooperative negotiations with the help of an impartial third party. This article addresses the importance of promoting the awareness of mediation as an effective conflict resolution tool for businesses in all fields based on proven evidence that it saves immeasurable time and capital especially for businesses across the board. From Alessnadra Sgubini I would like to thank Mediate.com for giving me the exposure to be known around the world with my articles, especially in the international sections, as an international mediator. Mediate.com is the most professional web site that allows people to know and study mediation and ADR. Mediation and Culture: How different cultural backgrounds can affect the way people negotiate and resolve disputes My experience of being a professional mediator in a foreign country inspired me to contact colleagues from around the globe to bring some insight into the importance of culture in dispute resolution. The following is a compilation of my own experiences and the experiences of my colleagues. 2 Comments The New Era: How Mediation Will Be Vital For Successful Italian Businesses Over the last few years, the Italian business community has joined other Europeans in searching for an effective alternative to trial and arbitration. Small, medium-sized, and large Italian companies are beginning to turn their attention to mediation as their first choice when confronted with a dispute. Indeed, it appears that the concept of mediation has set in motion a new era in business for Italians, as well as other European common law countries and civil law countries, where commercial enterprise responds to legislative reform in corporate law. Arbitration, Mediation and Conciliation: differences and similarities from an International and Italian business perspective While mediation is a concept widely used in U.S., it has yet to truly benefit the legal community in Italy as a viable means to settle disputes. In Italy, mediation is a concept that is often mistakenly confused with conciliation; although the two methods have similar aspects, they are fundamentally different. To appreciate the differences between arbitration, mediation and conciliation, it is helpful to explain them separately. and to introduce the concept of mediation in the international business arena. 12 Comments Italian businesses, mediation, could it be? The mediation bridge: An idea becoming reality When a “bridge” exists between two countries, an exchange of knowledge, attitudes, and ideas can have positive impact for both countries and can create business for both countries. My vision is to develop a concrete plan for the transfer of the concept of mediation to Italy and to build an ideal mediation “bridge” for the benefit of business communities in both San Diego (US) and Milan (Italy). 3 Comments  |
