Book PRThought Leader PRSerialisationAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

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.

Rich Forever: What They Didn’t Teach You about Money, Finance and Investments in School

Bianca Miller-Cole & Byron Cole

Publisher: John Murray ISBN: 9781399807593 Released: 12.10.2023

Publisher PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

Remember when talking about money was taboo? Times have changed and in our times, with so many radical and disruptive changes to the economy, the role of the entrepreneur now embedded at the centre of so much societal and technological change, and digital currencies changing the way we think about exchange, money has become a vital, insistent of conversation for everyone. All of us acknowledge it matters desperately; yet so few of us really understand it.

The press and social media are awash with rags to riches stories, stories of kitchen table businesses that become multi-million-pound enterprises. Stories of teenagers and young adults investing in digital currencies from their bedrooms. On the flip side of these aspirational stories there is the reality of the everyday person who simply wants to understand what to and what not to do with their money. Should they save or invest, if they invest - what in, if they save - what for? Should they buy a home or rent, should they live for the moment or live for retirement. How does having credit provide more credit and would insurance be the best bet if all falls around you and what the hell is APR anyway?

Finance and money are topics we all wish we learnt at school but instead we find ourselves having to 'learn on the job', having to do deep investigations and 'trust' the advice from online experts. There must be a better way and a better place to go to for this insight and here we have it, courtesy of two authors who have known hardship and huge success - "What they should have taught you about money, finance and investment at school' to fill that void.

The tried and tested methods not only offer pathways to survival – but reveal opportunities for growth.

Author James Burstall runs one of the most successful TV production companies in the UK, producing shows like Dispatches and The Masked Singer. During his time at Argonon he has dealt with a variety of existential crises: from terror attacks to recessions, natural disasters and of course, pandemics. Through them all, he has managed to guide his team out the other side and set strategies for the next time something like this happens: because it will happen again.

The Flexible Method covers sixteen tried and tested methods to futureproof businesses, including:

  • Preparing for Disasters
    Disasters can be predictable, so game plan across your organization in calm times. Heed signs of the coming storm. Keep your business continuity and disaster recovery plans up to date.
  • Collaborate and Connect

The temptation is to baton down the hatches and wait for the storm to pass – but both experience and research from the pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis show that collaborating with others can be a path to growth during disaster.

  • Put Your People First

Your people are everything. When disaster strikes get them to safety – you need them healthy and onside. Leave no one behind.

  • Adapt

Be open to new ways of working and be willing to change your business practices. Act like a start-up to allow your business evolve alongside the situation.
