About the Book:
Introduction to Family Managed Business is a comprehensive guide that helps students, educators, and practitioners understand the distinct nature of family-run enterprises, especially in the Indian context. It combines theoretical frameworks with practical insights to explain how family, ownership, and management interact. The book traces the full life cycle of family businesses—from their founding vision to growth across generations, including succession, governance, valuation, and long-term sustainability. It applies key concepts like the Three-Circle Model, Agency and Stewardship Theory, and the Socio-Emotional Wealth (SEW) perspective to analyze decision-making and relationships within these firms. It also highlights India-specific ownership structures such as Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) and Muslim law systems, showing their role in business continuity. Alongside financial and governance aspects, the book addresses modern challenges like innovation, digital transformation, gender inclusion, and strategic evolution. With real-world case studies and an interdisciplinary approach, the text emphasizes that successful family businesses balance economic goals with values, relationships, and legacy, viewing themselves not just as profit-driven entities but as enduring institutions.
Key Features:
• New thematic coverage on innovation, technology, gender equity, and philanthropy in family enterprises.
• Expanded case studies and contemporary examples from leading Indian family businesses and global parallels.
• Dedicated sections on digital transformation, next?generation leadership, and sustainability strategies.
• Practical frameworks and assessment tools for governance and succession planning.
