This Program aims to develop an awareness of the complexity and the problems faced by a family-owned business and the practice of business enterprises. It provides a framework for the systematic analysis of the issues involved in establishing and managing a family-owned business successfully. This involves an understanding of the struggle by the founder member of the family to keep intact the entrepreneurial spirit that brought the company to its present stage of growth. The Program aims at turning around the critical issues faced by the family business into management challenges for further growth and perpetuity of the company. It will also help in the selection of an appropriate strategy and the outlining of a coordinated plan of action.

Given the brevity of the Program, the general management concepts like; marketing, finance and production will not be covered in any depth. This Program will stress, on the other hand, the interpersonal dynamics of a multi-systems based organization which is the family-owned business.

• To be successful, this program will require extensive participation in class by the attendees. Active participation has proven a very successful teaching methodology for adult learners. The instructor will, therefore, make every effort to elicit participation from all members of the group.
• The sessions are divided into segments of brief lectures, videos, discussions, and exercises. The lectures & videos will present a particular methodology or elucidate some concept. The discussions are to be in the form of a dialogue between the instructor and the class. The aim of these discussions is to:
• firm-up the understanding of concepts;
• draw out examples from the participants own experiences; and
• have each participant think about and discuss his/her own particular business. The exercises will require each participant to apply concepts and methodologies learned in his/her own particular situation.
• The experience of the participants in managing their own business is an extremely valuable learning resource. To capitalize on this resource, the Program will utilize this experience intensively. The instructor may ask two participants, before the first class for their full participation in developing live cases for discussions during the program. Thus, there would be a couple of live cases for discussions and benefit of the participants.
• These 'live cases' will constitute the common stream which will flow through all of the four modules. Nevertheless, the contributions of the experience of the other participants will also be actively elicited to give added richness to the group.
• The exercises will provide each participant with the opportunity to apply the concepts learned to his/her own particular situation. Sometimes the exercises will be completed in class, other times they will be assigned to be completed by the following session.
• The exercises are designed to lead each participant, step-by-step, to develop an action plan for his/her company. It is important, therefore, that these exercises be completed. Time should be allocated for this.
• Responses to exercises are useful vehicles for group discussion. The instructor will attempt to use these, but always after obtaining prior permission from the participants involved.

• Module 1: INTRODUCTION
• Module 2: PROFESSIONALIZATION & THE FAMILY BUSINESS.
• Module 3: IMPORTANCE & THE ROLE OF FAMILY MEETINGS.
• Module 4: PASSING ON THE DREAM: SUCCESSION PLANNING
• Module 5: INDUCTING A BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN FAMILY BUSINESS

This program is aimed at family-owned companies and will provide immediately useful and applicable concepts which will help the owner/manager to enhance his/her effectiveness as a business leader as well as leader of the family. By the end of the program, the participants will be able to develop a strategic plan for his/her business on an ongoing basis.
