  A large number of British companies are family firms. The author sets out to analyze what particular features mark the most successful family firms. He looks at such questions as how to set clear goals and how to achieve them, the options of remaining independent or going public, and training and motivating the next generation. Board structures and handling the succession (including possible family strife) are discussed, along with social responsibility, tax and legal requirements, and how family firms can survive and achieve their aims in the changing business climate. As well as offering practical guidance, the book includes many examples of how family firms have handled these important issues. This book is aimed at directors and chairmen of family firms, management consultants and all those involved in this traditional form of business.
