The Family Business Consulting Group and Palgrave Macmillan have published two new books concerning building and managing a family business.
In Building a Successful Family Business Board, authors Jennifer M. Pendergast, John L. Ward, and Stephanie Brun de Pontet show why private businesses need the expertise and objective feedback that a well-chosen board can provide. The authors also demonstrate how owners and directors can work together to ensure a long and profitable life for the firm. In addition, authors provide practices for owners and directors, including step-by-step guidelines for developing and managing a board.
In Family Business as Paradox, authors John L. Ward, Amy Schuman, and Stacy Stutz argue that instead of choosing between the family and the business, a family enterprise will have a long term strategic and competitive advantage and the family will remain committed to continuity if the family-owned business can consciously manage and synthesize the contradictions of family and business.
