Exploring the importance of family governance for family businesses

It’s hard enough building a business. Now you’ve got the challenge of passing your business to your successive generations. Who’s going to run the business? How should they be chosen? What’s the role of the family? How do you manage family members who want to extract dividends and other members who want to reinvest into the business for growth? What’s if there’s conflict? And many more issues.

There’s no simple answer.
