Skripsi ini membahas penyelesaian sengketa bisnis melalui mediasi sebagai salah satu alternatif penyelesaian sengketa bisnis di Indonesia. Sengketa bisnis memiliki karakter yang agak berbeda dengan sengketa pada umumnya, sehingga memerlukan cara penyelesaian yang berbeda pula. Komunikasi yang terputus menyulitkan para pihak untuk sepakat memilih penyelesaian melalui mediasi, khususnya mediasi di luar pengadilan. Pembahasan proses mediasi yang dilakukan penulis dalam menyelesaikan beberapa sengketa bisnis, memberikan gambaran yang jelas mengenai karakter sengketa bisnis dan proses penyelesaiannya. Mediator tipe vested interest mediator yang penulis terapkan ternyata dapat membantu para pihak untuk mengungkap dan menyelesaikan sengketa bisnis melalui mediasi. Vested interest mediator menyimpangi asas impartial, namun efektif untuk penyelesaian sengketa bisnis. Kesepakatan Perdamaian sebagai hasil akhir dari mediasi yang berhasil, dapat digugat menjadi Akta Perdamaian sehingga mempunyai kekuatan hukum seperti putusan pengadilan pada tingkat penghabisan. Wanprestasi terhadap Kesepakatan Perdamaian mungkin saja terjadi jika masih ada prestasi yang harus dipenuhi. Penggunaan lembaga jaminan kebendaan dalam Kesepakatan Perdamaian diharapkan dapat lebih memberikan kepastian hukum.

This thesis disseminates mediation as a means of settling business disputes in Indonesia. Business disputes are slightly different from disputes in general and for that reason a different approach and style of settlement needs to be applied. Where communication has ceased to exist between the disputing parties, it could be difficult to apply mediation, especially in cases where such disputes are not brought before the court of law. The mediation process to settle some business disputes done by the writer gives clear picture of business dispute character and settlement. Obviously, vested interest mediator that the writer applied to the cases can be very helpful in settling business disputes through mediation. Vested interest mediator deviating from impartial principle, but it works effectively for the settlement of business disputes. A settlement agreement resulting from a successful mediation process can be broungt before court of law to be legalizaed by the court of law as an Akta Perdamaian. It is final and binding, has the force of law, and consequently can be enforced with the assistance of the court in the event that one of the parties does not satisfy his obligation pursuant to the settlement agreement. I would therefore recommend the use of some kind of collateral to ensure that any and all obligation pursuant to the settlement agreement can be enforced accordingly.
