Competitions for students on theme “Gandhi in Action”

We are commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation, at national and international level to propagate his message. Gandhiji’s freedom struggle culminated in India’s Independence on 15th August, 1947. Mahatma Gandhi strived to lead the country to not just political independence, but to a better India and a society free of caste, religious, economic and even gender prejudices. Though politically independent, India has long since grappled with the same vital issues that Gandhiji had to face when he came back to India on January 9, 1915 after his South African odyssey viz. –health issues, drinking water problem, social issues etc.

The occasion of 150th birth anniversary celebrations has given us an opportunity to remind the humanity of the efficacy of the message of Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi’s lessons are relevant in every policy of the country such as Swacch Bharat, rights of women and children, and of civil liberties of small and disadvantaged groups, health and well-being of the Indian farmer and the Indian village.

Yi Salem Session on

“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?
   
   

About the Faculty

Dr. Parimal Merchant, veteran in the field has worked with more than 5000 family business across the globe and has done his PhD from BITS Pilani on the subject of inducting next generation members into family business for the growth of business.
