Family Business Management
Family-controlled private and public companies are the dominant form of enterprise worldwide, comprising more than 90% of all businesses. They are critical to the fabric of the Iowa economy, especially in our rural areas. They contribute so much more beyond employment, as they are often integral to the place-making of our communities. This course is about those businesses, their challenges and opportunities.
Course objectives include:
- Appraise the opportunities and challenges unique to family businesses
- Analyze the best practices available to family businesses
- Identify and examine the pitfalls of family communication and the tools available to improve it
- Demonstrate understanding of case studies and their application for all family businesses
- Examine, identify, and make recommendations to business families
