Business mediation: all in the family

Article Abstract:

Mediation solved the resentments within three families that co-operated a hotel and hospitality business. The three patriarchs reached retirement age and the children disagreed with each other over how the business should be run. Mediation divided the business into three separate groups. Each family then established its own new business. The mediation was particularly successful in resolving the claims of two parties interested in the same business group.

A genuine transformation in the people and the situation should take place.
