Families are the most prevalent type of business owners in any global economy. They collectively control a huge proportion of the world’s wealth and play a significant role in shaping wider society.
However, succeeding across generations is difficult. Family dynamics and emotions add an extra layer of complexity to leadership and decision making, and only few family businesses continue to prosper beyond the first generation.
So why is it that some families are able to build a legacy that will last far into the future, while others fade away?
Now a new book, written by professors and world-leading experts in entrepreneurship and family business Alfredo De Massis and Emanuela Rondi, provides a practical roadmap to help families navigate these challenges and thrive across generations. The Family Business Book blends over 20 years of research with practical, real-world experience, to provide a unique combination of academic rigor and actionable insights.
Readers will discover how to understand the subtle nuances, complexities and key challenges of the journey undertaken by entrepreneurial families across generations. Through its entrepreneurial family galaxy concept, the book shows how to disentangle complicated and emotionally-charged family dynamics, to build a strategic plan that will ensure long-term success and a lasting legacy for the future.
The book is full of practical templates, worksheets, reflection questions and actionable strategies to guide readers in the development of a roadmap that allows their family business to prosper.
The Family Business Book takes a deep dive into the complex world of family business and is an essential read for family entrepreneurs, managers, professionals, business students and anyone interested in the dynamics of entrepreneurial families.
