Greetings!

We have chosen Innovation in Family Firms as the main theme for this issue of the family business news. From this issue onward, you will find some interesting news on family businesses outside India as well, besides the snapshots of some research articles on the theme for the issue. Also, there is reprint of an article on the workings of Indian family businesses published by The Times, London on the eve of the FBN International Summit held earlier this month in London. Hope you will find them interesting.

Please mark your calendar for our next major conference which is round the corner. We will be organizing the Fourth Asian Invitational Conference on Family Business at the ISB during February 1 – 3, 2013 with “Built Forever – Outstanding Business Performance and Lasting Family Harmony” as the main theme. As always, we have the Research and Case Conference on February 1 and Business Conference on February 2 & 3. Click here for the brochure

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

Best regards,
Ram
