Message from Professor K Ramachandran


Dear Friend:

The next issue of the Family Business News is here for you to read, and I hope you will find it useful. We have included four diverse pieces here as briefed below:

  • The role of the person in the family who keeps the family emotionally bonded is neither understood nor appreciated.
    For more on this, please go through the article of being a Chief Emotional Officer.

  • There are multiple routes to family governance, as discussed by Professor Ajay Bhalla.

  • There are several families that remain undivided over generations, but there are not many families with close to 100 people living together. Please read the Lahoti family story of Andhra Pradesh. Please share similar stories if you know of any.

Our next annual training programme on Family Business is coming up in October. Please see the details given below. For more information, please write to me.

Best wishes,

Professor K Ramachandran
