This book is a great compilation of the various topics associated with family businesses. It is written in short article form, making it especially useful as a quick reference guide to very specific issues.

The issues addressed can be either very general (like what is a family business and general statistics on them), to very specific (like estate planning, succession, board recruitment, conflict resolution). The authors also address the topic from different perspectives; there are chapters on people entering family businesses (family members and non family members), on consultants to fmaily businesses, on spouses of family business members, on investors in family businesses, and the expected focus on family managers in family businesses.

I have not seen a better compilation of topics. Despite the fact that it is a compilation, all topics are addressed with enough depth to make it sufficient reading on any individual topic of family business.

Soy una estudiante en la maestria en prostodoncia en la Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon,Mexico. El catedratico de la materia de materiales dentales, el dr. Miguel Garcia, ampliamente reconocido en el pais, encontro que es un excelente libro dirigido para la especialidad. Nos hemos apoyado mucho en esta obra para comprender mas a fondo el material que dia a dia nosotros manipulado.

This book is useful because it's the only one of its kind. It is already outdated and in desperate need of a new edition or extinction. I still use the text as a classroom reference and required text for instrumentation principles.
