'Zellweger has written a wide-ranging, thorough and very readable
examination of the family business. His discussions of governance,
succession planning, financial management, and conflict resolution
draw on over 40 years of research, with relevant case studies that
provoke discussion and reflection. His overview of cultural
differences in families and in family businesses shows his grounded
perspective. This text will provide a strong educational foundation
for students and proactive family business owners alike.' - John A.
Davis, Harvard Business School 'One of the top international
researchers in the family business field, a celebrated instructor,
and a thoughtful practitioner, Thomas Zellweger succeeded in the
daunting task of writing a book on family enterprises that appeals
to multiple audiences. By carefully identifying the themes that are
crucial to family business continuity, and by connecting them
through a multidisciplinary approach that is at the same time
intellectually deep, practically relevant, and crystal clear, the
author does full justice to the complexity of family firms, and to
their vital role in our economies and societies.' - Carlo Salvato,
