Family Business Management provides an accessible overview of the core aspects of family business, with an international, practice-based perspective.
Structured in four parts, the book covers key topics such as family firm goals, conflict management, human resources, strategy, financial management, family and business governance, and succession planning. A wide variety of cases and examples are used throughout the book to highlight cultural and institutional differences between family businesses in contrasting contexts. Each chapter offers a detailed case study and boxed examples, illustrating real-life family business situations and stimulating students’ critical thinking and decision-making. Readers are further supported by learning objectives, discussion questions, and further reading suggestions. Digital supplements for instructors include lecture slides, a test bank, and additional case studies.
This textbook is an ideal companion for family business courses, catering to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. It offers valuable insights and practical guidance for business families, as well as professionals working in family businesses.
"This is a relevant and timely book that deals with the complex dynamics of family businesses. It showcases an in-depth intellectual analysis of family business insights alongside a comprehensive collection of cases, examples and questions that stimulate discussion and debate. It is a must read for anyone interested to understand more about how family firms function, why they matter and what makes them unique worldwide."
Dr. Allan Discua Cruz, Director, Centre for Family Business, Lancaster University, UK
"Family Business Management is an essential book that provides a rare insight into the dynamics of family businesses in the Arab Gulf region and beyond. A significant part of the material is dedicated to fundamental matters, such as succession planning, that are often overlooked in the Arab Gulf region. As family businesses continue to gain prominence in local and regional economies, this book offers business family members, economists, and academics a clearer guide to understand these important institutions."

"Being a third-generation family business executive, I have benefited from Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Basco’s advice on numerous occasions regarding succession, governance, and conflict management. I believe this book will help different generations of family members navigate their unique journeys and reflect on the most important issues, such as governance, succession planning, and family transparency, among others."
Saud Majid AlQasimi, CEO, Al Saud Co.
"A world-renowned scholar coming from a family business background, Rodrigo Basco curates a thoughtful journey to greatly inspire family business leaders, practitioners, and all other learners. Gradually moving from managing family dynamics to governance and succession, the text demystifies complexities of family businesses and offers critical and actionable insights into planning and strategizing for families in transition. The global selection of real cases, coupled with carefully themed discussions and learning activities, is of enormous benefit to the family business community. This text has my highest recommendation."
