Greetings!

Here is our next issue of the Family Business news. As always, we have included snapshots of some very interesting articles for your quick read. These are: Role of Independent Directors in Family Business Governance, Entrepreneurial Behaviour of Family Firms, and How to Steer Family Businesses through Economic Slowdown.

As part of our efforts to understand the challenges faced by family business on the governance and professionalisation front, we have developed a research survey. Most of you might have received an E-mail regarding this survey. In case, you missed our E-mail, please visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/XN9LRBV. I would appreciate if you could spare a few minutes to fill this questionnaire (Please note that this study is limited to Indian Family Businesses).

Hope you will find the articles interesting.

As always, I encourage you to send interesting articles which we can consider for inclusion in our forthcoming newsletters.

Best wishes,
Professor K Ramachandran
Thomas Schmidheiny Chair Professor of
Family Business and Wealth Management
