“Insights into Family Business”

About Family Business

History acknowledges the fact family business is the oldest and most common model of economic organization. The vast majority of businesses throughout the world from corner shops to multinational publicly listed organizations with hundreds of thousands of employees can be considered family businesses. Based on research of the Forbes 400 richest Americans, 44% of the Forbes 400 member fortunes were derived by being a member of or in association with a family business.

Objective of Session

Two Generations formed in different era, would have diverse perspectives. Working together could mean harvesting the dividend of diversity. That would be called complementation. On the other hand if not managed well, it would result into generation gap and cause a conflict. Family business would mean transmission of wisdom to the next generation who would do well to learn in the shadows of the father and eventually sit on their shoulder to take the business to new heights.

Topics Covered

1. Insights into family business.
2. What stops a family business from flourishing?
3. What are the roots of conflicts within the family business?
4. Why the diverse perspectives are seen as gaps?
5. What can be done to pre-empt such disruption and facilitate smooth working together?
