Family Business Management

When developing our web sites we naturally used the word 'family' in front of the word 'business' as a way of identifying the fact that our content is for business owners, managers, and successors of companies they own, rather than the relatively few public companies that exist.

In fact according to a study, completed in 2003 by The Raymond Institute, 89% of all business in the United States are family businesses, including over one third of the Fortune 500 companies and generating more than half the US GDP. And that number is constantly growing as survivors from start ups in the 1970's, 80's, and 90's join them

There is a very good chance that you own, work in, or provide expertise and service to family businesses.

The content of this site focuses on the many elements of management that you as a business owner must deal with, from asset management to conflict management, from time management to process management, from change management to strategic management, and on and on.
