N2 - Conflict management has always been regarded as a major task of business management practice and as a preeminent issue of business management research. In this paper, the authors analyse the outcomes of a laboratory experiment, which was also supposed to validate an empirical field study of real world conflict solution via mediation tools in in-court and out-of-court legal cases, either with the intervention of a mediator or without. The authors conceptualise the theoretical model of Co-Integrative Mediation CIM) as a comprehensive conflict management tool, based on a combination of game theory,havioural economics, new institutional economics, and social capital theory conjectures. Theplication of the CIM model against the classical approach of conflict solution by decision of aletimised institution was tested via an experimental investigation. As a result, it can be tentativelystat that CIM tends to show significantly superior effects concerning the economic and sociopsychological outcomes of the conflict management processes.
