Rezensionen

"This is a relevant and timely book that deals with the complex dynamics of family businesses. It showcases an in-depth intellectual analysis of family business insights alongside a comprehensive collection of cases, examples and questions that stimulate discussion and debate. It is a must read for anyone interested to understand more about how family firms function, why they matter and what makes them unique worldwide."

Dr. Allan Discua Cruz, Director, Centre for Family Business, Lancaster University, UK

"Family Business Management is an essential book that provides a rare insight into the dynamics of family businesses in the Arab Gulf region and beyond. A significant part of the material is dedicated to fundamental matters, such as succession planning, that are often overlooked in the Arab Gulf region. As family businesses continue to gain prominence in local and regional economies, this book offers business family members, economists, and academics a clearer guide to understand these important institutions."

Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, Lecturer, Bard College Berlin and Fellow at Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin - Institute for Advanced Study

"Being a third-generation family business executive, I have benefited from Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Basco's advice on numerous occasions regarding succession, governance, and conflict management. I believe this book will help different generations of family members navigate their unique journeys and reflect on the most important issues, such as governance, succession planning, and family transparency, among others."

Saud Majid AlQasimi, CEO, Al Saud Co.

"A world-renowned scholar coming from a family business background, Rodrigo Basco curates a thoughtful journey to greatly inspire family business leaders, practitioners, and all other learners. Gradually moving from managing family dynamics to governance and succession, the text demystifies complexities of family businesses and offers critical and actionable insights into planning and strategizing for families in transition. The global selection of real cases, coupled with carefully themed discussions and learning activities, is of enormous benefit to the family business community. This text has my highest recommendation."
