Abstract
The paper discusses how in today's increasingly competitive marketplace, organizations must operate as efficiently and effectively as possible to ensure competitive advantage. The paper relates that executing complex initiatives to further competitiveness oftentimes requires a breadth of knowledge and experience that can only be provided by teams made of diverse members, however, this diversity has a tendency to decrease collaboration, and therefore effectiveness and efficiency, on a team. Therefore, the paper asserts that it is important for companies to build collaborative teams (Gratton & Erickson, 2007). This paper addresses four different types of conflict resolution; conciliation, meditation, arbitration, and negotiation.

Abstract
The paper relates that due to the current financial climate, it is likely a large number of customers will turn against their financial advisors, brokerage firms, hedge funds advisors, and others to recoup some of the losses they have experienced in trading and investment losses (Anjier & Denegre, 2002). The paper explains that conflict resolution or arbitration is a common, simple, informal method of expediting disputes of this type outside of a courtroom, and this method of addressing an issue is usually quicker and less costly than court proceedings as well.

Abstract
The paper defines mediation, arbitration and Med-Arb and then applies one of these processes to conflict resolution in the movie "The Milagro Beanfield War".

From the Paper
"Mediation, as defined by the Dispute Resolution Center, is a process in which a third-party neutral acts as a facilitator to assist in resolving a dispute between two or more parties. It is a nonadversarial approach to conflict resolution. Arbitration, in contrast, is defined as a process in which a disagreement between two or more parties is resolved by impartial individuals. The difference is that in arbitration, the parties agree to allow third-party arbitrators to directly resolve the conflict, while in mediation..."

Abstract

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Conflict resolution is, in its simplest form an attempt by two or more parties to reach an agreement that meets the needs of all parties, without excluding the voice of either and within the range of the ability of both parties to compromise in the face of any given conflict. The trend toward settling disputes on every level is moving in the clear direction of conflict resolution as a first and/or even last resort, as a result of the desire of many individuals and entities to clearly outline the nature of the needs of those they represent and allow the other party(s) to do the same, so that confusion and misunderstanding is eliminated from the resolution and both parties enter into an agreement, hopefully amiably understanding the rights and responsibilities of the agreement."

Abstract
This paper explains that educators recognize that the management of classroom behavior problems is one of the most important skills a teacher can have; however, many teachers feel it is the area where they are the less prepared. The author relates that the goal of conflict resolution is to teach students to identify conflicts and to learn to find ways to solve the differences in what is called a "win/win" way, where both people walk away feeling the resolution was fair and just. The paper suggests a research project to test the efficacy of conflict management in the classroom by using a checklist of disruptive behavioral problems to compare behaviors in classrooms that either use or do not use conflict management.

"Bryant-Edwards, et. al. (2002) found students who had been suspended for behavior problems during one and one-half year period and put them into a program called "Alternative to Suspension for Violent Behavior" (ASVB), which was based on conflict resolution. The researchers looked for four desired outcome -- a reduced rate of later suspensions for participants for physical violence; reduced suspensions not related to violence; reduced rate of suspension overall for students completing the program; and a lower rate of other disciplinary interventions. However, assignment to groups was not random, and other factors seemed to be relevant."

Abstract
Sociological perspectives affirm that contact does not eliminate the possibilities of conflicts in multi-ethnic classrooms. Viewing school as an organization, and promoting positive classroom environment help reduce classroom conflicts at their roots, and assign the role of conflict resolution to policy makers rather than to individuals.
