About this title

Synopsis

Taking over a family firm brings difficulties that can only be understood by those directly involved. What an unbelievable opportunity, to automatically be the next in line. But at the same time, what a responsibility, what a burden, what a pressure and what constraints. This book is intended for those leading the next generation of a family business who are beset by all the doubts that such a position brings. Eminent family business consultants, Dr. Denise Kenyon-Rouvinez provides a host of observations, as well as her most tried-and-tested remedies to help today's next generation face up to a series of difficult choices. This book is offered as a user's guide for successors as a way of contributing to the dialogue between generations. This book is a must for all generations grappling with the succession issue.
