Book Synopsis Family Business Matters by : Harry Moore Mbe
Download or read book Family Business Matters written by Harry Moore Mbe and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Running a business is not easy and for most people life is more comfortable as an employee rather than employer. At its worst managing a business can be likened to warfare; with the potential enemies being manifold in the form of competition, costs, market forces, adverse economic trends, access to resources etc. As if this isn't enough, if you are running a family business it can be almost like fighting a war on two fronts; there is the business and its issues on the one side and the family and their needs on the other and reconciliation of the two can often be challenging, and, in some cases, totally impossible. It's a matter of having to cope with two agendas. All businesses and organisations must cope with the mixture of personal and corporate needs and, in particular, the desires and objectives of the individuals managing the enterprise. With a family business the added challenge is that the personal side will include people who may not actually be employed in the business but who may be owners, family members dependent on the business for their income or family members who may simply influence the decision-making process through relationships with managers or owners. The purpose of this book is to assist family and owner managed businesses to succeed. The definition of success can range from simple survival to empirical growth, depending upon the aims and aspirations of the owners.

Book Synopsis Advising the Family Owned Business by : Nicholas Smith
Download or read book Advising the Family Owned Business written by Nicholas Smith and published by Jordan Publishing (GB). This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family businesses form the backbone of the UK economy. They also provide the bedrock of the business client base of most professional firms. This book examines the legal issues of particular relevance to family owned businesses. Often those issues stem from underlying family dynamics. Therefore advisors, be they legal financial or management need to be aware of the complexity created by these factors as well as the legal and commercial issues. The book contains an introduction to the key elements of family business thinking that have emerged over the last 30 years or so, to explain these dynamics and links these to relevant areas of professional practice. A key challenge is that professionals increasingly operate from ever narrower silos of specialisation, whereas the needs of their family business clients cross many practice areas. The book is intended to provide practitioners with an overview of family business issues from adjacent practice areas to their own, to help them offer rounded advice to family business clients. Accordingly the book will be relevant to other professionals and to those directly engaged in their own family businesses. [Subject: Trade Law, UK Law, Labor Law, Family Law]

Others, happily serve a limited market. Whether a business remains small or grows large, every family business at some time or other is faced with issues that center around growth. If you are a member of a business owning family, you may ask such questions as: Do we want this business to grow? Why should we grow it? Is it capable of growing? What sacrifices will growth require? What sacrifices will we make if we don t grow? Healthy Growth for the Family Business will help you answer those questions. When leaders of family firms think about growth, they take into consideration not just the business but also how the business growth will affect the family. You will learn that growth can mean different things to different people, and not just in terms of increases in sales and profits. The way some family business owners look at growth will offer inspiration and spur creativity as you seek answers for your own company. Family shareholders and board members will learn a great deal from this book. When they have a better understanding of the issues involved in growth, these family members can support you in moving the family business in the direction it needs to go. Healthy Growth for the Family Business will provide you with practical knowledge. It will help you decide whether to grow and, if so, what type and amount of growth you want. You will learn to avoid the dangers of overestimating your company s ability to grow or under anticipating the company s need for growth.

Download or read book Everybody Matters written by Bob Chapman and published by Portfolio. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bob Chapman, CEO of the $1.7 billion manufacturing company Barry-Wehmiller, is on a mission to change the way businesses treat their employees.” – Inc. Magazine Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller have pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions, to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead, Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That’s not a cliché on a mission statement; it’s the bedrock of the company’s success. During tough times a family pulls together, makes sacrifices together, and endures short-term pain together. If a parent loses his or her job, a family doesn’t lay off one of the kids. That’s the approach Barry-Wehmiller took when the Great Recession caused revenue to plunge for more than a year. Instead of mass layoffs, they found creative and caring ways to cut costs, such as asking team members to take a month of unpaid leave. As a result, Barry-Wehmiller emerged from the downturn with higher employee morale than ever before. It’s natural to be skeptical when you first hear about this approach. Every time Barry-Wehmiller acquires a company that relied on traditional management practices, the new team members are skeptical too. But they soon learn what it’s like to work at an exceptional workplace where the goal is for everyone to feel trusted and cared for—and where it’s expected that they will justify that trust by caring for each other and putting the common good first. Chapman and coauthor Raj Sisodia show how any organization can reject the traumatic consequences of rolling layoffs, dehumanizing rules, and hypercompetitive cultures. Once you stop treating people like functions or costs, disengaged workers begin to share their gifts and talents toward a shared future. Uninspired workers stop feeling that their jobs have no meaning. Frustrated workers stop taking their bad days out on their spouses and kids. And everyone stops counting the minutes until it’s time to go home. This book chronicles Chapman’s journey to find his true calling, going behind the scenes as his team tackles real-world challenges with caring, empathy, and inspiration. It also provides clear steps to transform your own workplace, whether you lead two people or two hundred thousand. While the Barry-Wehmiller way isn’t easy, it is simple. As the authors put it: "Everyone wants to do better. Trust them. Leaders are everywhere. Find them. People achieve good things, big and small, every day. Celebrate them. Some people wish things were different. Listen to them. Everybody matters. Show them."

Download or read book Family Matters written by Rohinton Mistry and published by Emblem Editions. This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in Bombay in the mid-1990s, Family Matters tells a story of familial love and obligation, of personal and political corruption, of the demands of tradition and the possibilities for compassion. Nariman Vakeel, the patriarch of a small discordant family, is beset by Parkinson’s and haunted by memories of his past. He lives with his two middle-aged stepchildren, Coomy, bitter and domineering, and her brother, Jal, mild-mannered and acquiescent. But the burden of the illness worsens the already strained family relationships. Soon, their sweet-tempered half-sister, Roxana, is forced to assume sole responsibility for her bedridden father. And Roxana’s husband, besieged by financial worries, devises a scheme of deception involving his eccentric employer at a sporting goods store, setting in motion a series of events that leads to the narrative’s moving outcome. Family Matters has all the richness, the gentle humour, and the narrative sweep that have earned Mistry the highest of accolades around the world.
Book Synopsis The Successful Family Business by : Edward D. Hess
Download or read book The Successful Family Business written by Edward D. Hess and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-11-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 80% of the businesses in the United States are family-owned and managed. From the corner deli or barbershop to global empires in brewing, media, and cleaning products, family businesses embody the entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation and economic growth and that represents the hopes and dreams of millions for independence, self-sufficiency, and wealth. And yet the track record for entrepreneurial businesses is poor: over three-quarters will fail during the first five years and only 10% will survive a decade. Family business statistics show that fewer than one-third pass succesfully to a second generation, often the result of insufficient planning. Drawing from numerous in-depth examples (both positive and negative), Edward Hess offers a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of family business management and specific strategies to promote the health of the enteprise. A comprehensive guide, The Successful Family Business covers the spectrum of topics from creating a family values statement and code of conduct to resolving conflicts among siblings to managing transitions in leadership and the potential sale of the business. Other issues include: defining perks and benefits (for family and non-family members), working with the board of directors, and going public. Hess concludes with a series of operating rules that apply to every family business and a listing of practical references and resources.
