Lessons from Family Businesses
Family businesses offer unique insights into resilience and adaptability, especially within turbulent environments. The authors argue that these businesses, particularly in frontier economies like Venezuela and Yemen, have developed strategies that can inform larger corporate structures in advanced economies. They emphasize how family-run enterprises often endure for generations by nurturing strong community ties and staying responsive to external challenges. This inter-generational perspective fosters a long-term approach that counters the short-termism prevalent in many global corporations.
