I am pleased to share with you the next issue of our Newsletter. The theme
for this issue is "Management of Human Resources (HR) in Family Business."
Besides attracting and retaining talent, keeping the workforce engaged and
motivated, are major challenges that require family businesses to adopt a
strategic approach towards their HR function. HR is also critical to family
firms because it manages multi-layered relationships between employees,
business and family owners. Hope you will find these summaries relevant and
interesting. The issue also carries research precis of two FBR articles on
this theme. Kindly visit our blog for summaries of recent news on family
business.
As most of you are aware, the Centre organised the Sixth Asian Invitational

“Competitiveness in Family Business” as the main theme. We had the Academic

Business Conference on February 4 & 5 where eminent speakers like, Dr Dieter
