Students are taught about using contract provisions that waive the right to bring suit in court and commit to using an alternative dispute resolution process controlled by the Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation. This can be put in contracts with employees, vendors, partners and multiple other business relationships. Just having a definition for what constitutes acceptable behavior is a positive step in avoiding conflict. The goal of the process outlined by the rules is both a meaningful and binding resolution of the dispute and peace (preservation or restoration of the relationship).
Let us embrace a full life, including business life that “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone” (Romans 12:18).
The Colangelo College of Business follows the guiding principles of servant leadership, ethics and entrepreneurism. For more information about our college, click the Request More Information button at the top of the page.
