Welcome!


I am happy to share with you the next issue of our bimonthly publication, 'Family Business Briefs.' This issue contains some riveting facts and information about family businesses that you may find interesting. The Briefs has the following sections:

 -  Summaries of research articles on Digital Transformation, Organisational Identity Elasticity, and
     Religiosity in Family Business

-   Summary of a published family business case on Suprajit Engineering

-   Inspirations from the life of H P Nanda

-   Interesting insights on Wealth Creation by Tata Group

-   Information on Pledging of Shares by Owner Family

We hope that you will find these insightful and stimulating.  

I would also like to remind you about the global study of family businesses we are undertaking in collaboration with the Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices (STEP) Project
(a global consortium of business schools) and KPMG. I seek your support to make this study a great success by completing a short survey that would require only 15 minutes of your time. Survey Link: https://ausmarketing.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8oXigFDbZqjVagC

The survey should be completed by a family business CEO or the most senior family business leader by October 31, 2021. Survey information will be confidential and only used to analyse aggregate trends. If you are interested, we will share the global report on its findings.

As always, I encourage you to send your feedback and share suggestions about something interesting and relevant, which you may want us to include in future.

Best regards,
Ram
