Abstract

This book focuses on family entrepreneurship and the role that families play in starting, growing, changing and transforming businesses. If you are interested in knowing more about how families act entrepreneurially across generations in terms of gaining insights into practical knowledge that can be applied, as well as learning about the ideas and the reasons behind this practical knowledge, then you will find this book to be of great value. We have assembled leading experts on multi-generational entrepreneurial families to address this issue. These experts, as consultants, educators and researchers on family entrepreneurship, represent the collected wisdom of hundreds of years of experience working with and studying successful entrepreneurial families.
