Abstract: The slow development of Alternative Dispute Resolution in the French corporate sector may be explained, in part, by the way managers interact with their legal counsels. In application of the principal-professional agency framework developed by Sharma (1997), we draw propositions attempting to relate managers' behavior with their organizations' propensity to use ADR. These propositions are partially supported by the results of a survey of French management students on their perception of their role as decision-makers in dispute resolution. These results point to the need for further research on these issues.La lenteur du développement des Modes Alternatifs de Résolution des Conflits au sein des entreprises françaises pourrait être expliquée, en partie, par la manière dont les gestionnaires interagissent avec leurs conseils juridiques. En application de la théorie de l'agence entre principal et professionnel développée par Sharma (1997), nous établissons des propositions visant à corréler les comportements des managers avec le recours aux MARC. Ces propositions sont partiellement corroborées par les résultats d'une étude quantitative menée auprès d'étudiants français en gestion portant sur leur perception de leur futur rôle de décideur en situation de conflit. Ces résultats tendent à justifier de plus amples efforts de recherche sur ces questions.
